I moved my loss free TSP back into stocks when the Dow was 9,400. Lost about 15% although sitting out the 35% calamity that preceded it was fun. I'll come back up okay.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I am not in the habit of trying to catch falling knives, personally.

If knife prices go down, knife prices go up.

I follow the anti-herd, not the herd. =D  Besides, contributions to my SEP is wealth that Barry does not get to spread. =D

It just closed down another 445.
And doesn't get to spread right now. I expect that will change. They're going crazy with the radical agenda, and there has never been a liberal of this type taking power that didn't see something and immediately want to tax it.

I still think the stock market has a lot of catching up to do.  I'm going to wait until it has done that, before putting my money back in. 

We're a heck of a lot closer to that point now than we were a few months ago, that's for sure.

We aren't if they keep changing the rules to make failure impossible for the incompetent.

True, but it seems like they've cut down on the rule changing lately, at least a little bit.  Of course, we'll see what happens in January. 

That's another reason I'm not eager to risk my cash right now.
