Does your IRA offer one called SPAXX?I have an inherited Fidelity IRA from my Dad that offers it,and for various reasons was 89% in SPAXX,the remainder in 3 or 4 bond funds last Thursday and Friday.Originally Posted by Lord Xar
The SPAXX part fell $0.00 and the whole thing lost way less than 1/10 of 1% over that period.

Dow futures -428. Short of furious PPT funny business or a new QE announcement, Monday looks like a bloodbath, maybe a circuit breaker day. I hope you folks are mostly out of the stock markets other than VIX and shorts. It's gonna be a looooong September. The paper wealth game is dying, by design, right in front of you and a reset is the goal. Act accordingly.

Well I still have about $17,000 left (out of original $40,000) to invest but not sure where to put it. I'd like to at least turn it into $70,000 by early next year.
I signed up with Scottrade but if etrade is better I could try them.

well, I just checked my 401k -- looks to be down ~7k , well that is great.... I have NEVER gained ~7k within a few days..... but ~7k poof, gone..hmmm. not really liking that.
I think Presence might be right on this......
Here is what I have for bond and blended options... any of them look decent to move my stock investments/401k into..

Looking those over, these ones didn't take a big hit in 2008, nigh a bump.
PTRQX [Prudential Total Return Bond Fund Class Q](( took a small hit in 2008 ))
TPINX [Templeton Global Bond Fund Class A](( took a medium hit in 2008 ))
looks like all the other bond investments were created in 2009.

You just missed out on 10 percent burst of profit. Buy the dip sell the rip.
Call me crazy, I'm looking to buy chinese stocks this week.
If you can in and out like that God bless.
I trade, forecast, and recommend retail long term transactions in stocks.

got mine at $32.93 :P
I'm expecting this to be 15-20% correction. Got the gut feeling about 2 weeks ago. I'm also expecting QE4 by EOY, err 5, what number we at again? Does Op Twist count?
Don't touch it till sub 3000; I value Shanghai at 2750 for October.

I think you have to follow the trend. V Shape recovery. I'm a bull. 12 percent correction, time to buy low sell high. Smart money bought at 9:40 am this morning
Short the VXX. Looking to buy oil at $34 barrel. Looking for apple to lead the market higher in the next month.
The invisible net...
That may work if it is a dip, but if it is a sustained drop, thats not so good for us non investor people.
Buying after a dip is good for a correction to panic reactions as it should in theory help maintain balance, but just like 2008 we have some major bubbles that need to be corrected and drop in value.
Theres a number of us that expect by October, we will have another repeat of 2008. Just out of curiousity, what do you think Light? Are we going to head into another Bear Market or will it be Bull Markets all the time?

Congratulations, presence, on an extremely good call!
Perhaps it helped some of your friends here on RPF, as you said was your wish. Congratulations again. Astounding.
Ummmm....... bad idea. Can I say that? Will you listen? Ahh well, probably not. So, best of luck!
I'm a buy and hold forever investor, but I just so happened to have a large chunk of my net worth out of the stock market for the past couple weeks. Did a 401k rollover that hasn't completed yet, and dipped into the IRA for a home purchase. Heh I got lucky on this one. Hope to get fully back in later this week.
Presence, in general I think you are a bit nuts, but you called this right somehow, so props my friend.
Presence was spot on. Way to go. And Zippy proves again he is a fools shill.
