[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh look, the “cease fire” has already fallen apart, the strait is closer, bombs are still falling … I don’t think we’re out of the woods yet. Glad I’m chilling in G Fund for a bit. [/quote]

I wish I’d gone to G when the war started. At this point I’m not sure it makes sense to jump. [/quote]

Op here. Yeah I’m feeling fine about still being in G. Oh no I moved from I fund last month when values were super high and parked all that profit in G. And I missed one day of potential gains yesterday! Only for those gains to be erased again today! basically as I have been saying, and as shown by today’s jobless claims we are very shaky economically. We are going to have stagflation soon. This is why I am in G until stocks have fallen in value enough to jump back to I fund and buy them at a discount.[/quote]

Keep justifying it.  You make more and more sense every day.  Gains were “erased today” - what are you even referring to?

Making massive moves to your retirement accounts based on 5% market swings is insanity and not a sustainable strategy.  [/quote]

He’s not making massive moves based on 5% swings … he’s making massive moves based on massive geopolitical train wrecks that are happening right before our eyes [/quote]

Well the market is not reacting all that negatively to these events.

How many massive unprecedented events have occurred over the last 30 years?  Ever look at a chart of the S&P 500 over that time?

[b]Have fun losing over the long term due to extremely risky financial behavior.  You’re basically gambling. [/b][/quote]

It’s not gambling to make investment decisions based on major geopolitical upheavals. This is a Suez Canal moment for the American Empire; making investment decisions based on informed analysis is what smart people do with their money.

I’m not the OP and it took me longer to realize that dumping stocks for G fund was a smart move right now, but I’m glad I did it when I did. I see rough times ahead for stocks. If I’m wrong, so be it. But make no mistake — deciding to stay invested in stocks is a market decision just the same as deciding to take your gains and move to cash for a while. [/quote]

You're ignoring every single study showing that market timing is a losers game. They all say the same thing, but somehow you and the self proclaimed rocket scientist, OP, convinced yourselves that those studies don't apply to you guys.[/quote]
