Wait, didn’t Eugene say we’re going to 11? I’m holding him to that.

August 27, 2009 at 12:59 PM #449617LesBaer45ParticipantMeh. I’m thinking about bailing since I went all in March 18th. I’m still thinking it’ll be a sideways market for a while, with a little up & down action just to keep things churning.
I’m still guessing an e-o-y rally will happen. It’s Jan 2010 I’m worried about crash & burn city.
I’d really like to sneak in under the 1 year long term capital tax gain but I’m afraid I’ll be caught out buck naked again if it goes into the dumper before then.
Guess I need to bump up the stops again tonight or at least check on them. Most of the equities I’m holding haven’t exactly been going up the last two weeks.
I’m counting on the funds for the final payoff of my mortgage, I can’t screw this up. %-/
Assuming I hold till 2010, I’m unloading everything I can outside of 401K/IRA before 10/2010. I’ll move the 401K/IRA into cash options at least.
I need to take advantage of the “Booooosh” tax cuts before they expire. Besides I figure the wheels will come off sometime around 12/2010 early 2011.
This of course guarantees there will be a post election cycle bull market, and I’ll be kicking myself relentlessly for months. π

August 27, 2009 at 1:19 PM #449637EugeneParticipantAlways remember about taxes … if it’s a retirement account, you’re okay … if it’s not, you’ll pay 35-40% in taxes on any gains you make. And, if you bought a house or intend to buy a house this year, capital gains due to the sale might just be enough to kick your AGI above the $8000 tax credit eligibility threshold. You should always do the math.
If you’re investing outside 401k/IRA, it may be more profitable to wait out a small correction long stocks till you lock in the LTCG status, than to bail at the first sign of danger.
On the subject of feelings, I fully understand your feelings, but my rational side tells me that the stock market has enough strength left for one more rally. Maybe I’ll exit in October.
