These people are nuts. When the true figures for unemployment and inflation hit, they are in for more moaning and groaning in the stock market. Interest rates will be at double digits either by year end or shortly into 2010.
Stand by for a ram!

Interestingly, there is a gentleman who gives TSP advice on the Fedsmith social network twice a month. He is somewhat bullish and recently went from cash and bonds to more stocks and less cash.
I enjoy the group activity on that network as well. I recommend "hic" it.

I already had most (70%)of my retirement in the G fund and only 30% in the C Fund. I didn't bother moving any money from the C fund to the G. It's in there for long term.
From what I have heard about investing, it is said that you need to put whatever amount of money you want in for long term. You are not to move it from one place to another and don't pu all your money in just one investment spread it around so you will not lose all of it if that paticular stock crashes.

Anybody heard of short interest? Covering shorts? Consolidation? Retracement?
Current market recovery is a struggle between the reality of what is and the conduct of the masses on what they believe is reality. Current recovery is more wish than fact; promoted by government and media.
Maybe our economy can do something no other economy in history has been able to do; borrow more money to get out of debt.
As long as sheeple believe it, it works: NOT!
First Irony: republican tax cuts for the rich have been/will be rescinded. democrats are direct giving tax money to the rich and calling it bailout.
Second Irony: the rich receiving the bailout have earned the right to be poor. Democrats are denying their rights.
Third Irony: Protect and save the idiots that caused it.
I fear next movement down will be sudden and significant, kind of the feeling a trout gets when the fisherman sets his hook.

TSP investors are followers not leaders. The fact that more money is going into the stock funds in no way shape or form indicates "investors believe the market will continue to go up." All it indicates is that because of the herd mentality the sheep will move with the crowd.
As more people see it go up they chase what has happened in the past not necessarily what they think will happen in the future.

Here's something for ya'll to think about: Throughout the history of the world, all governments, countries, nations that were on a "fiat" currency (money that is not backed by ANYTHING - other than the good faith and word of that particular government) as the good ole US is and has been since the 1970s when then President Nixon took us off the gold standard, their countries economy/money failed, vis a vis Weingarten Germany, where it took wheelbarrows of money to pay for a loaf of bread and people were burning the money because it was cheaper to burn the paper money than buy wood.
The way Chairman Obama is printing and spending money, we are going in the same direction. Don't forget every single nation that adopts a fiat currency, as we have, has failed. Hate to break it to ya'll, but I know ya'll think the US is special and unique. Heads up kids, we are not. Best bet? Put your money in gold.

I started investing in silver almost 10 years ago and what I own (pre-1964 US half dollars that are 90% silver) I bought at an average of less than $5.50 per ounce. Silver and gold can NEVER go bankrupt, but companies, banks, even governments (ie California) can. REAL ASSETS (gold, silver, oil, commodities) will always be needed, paper money- well we'll see what happens in the not too distance future I'm afraid, as the US $$$ falls from grace and it's status!!!!
