Sept and Oct are always bad, but this year those two months were terrible. I'm still looking for a short-term rally though. Volatility has increased, and there's been higher highs and higher lows in the S&P chart over the last few days. We're way oversold, so look for a better week starting tomorrow. (Yeah, I did say the same thing two weeks ago, but this time I mean it.....)
Kicked the market in the nads and hit it in the back of the head today.
Sold HMC, ATYT, etc in cash and ready for the dive baby.
Did I mention my new 401K kicks nads too? Matching is much more than old skinflint and is immediate. Plus it has a brokerage option. Buys happen 1 day following payday. Good G0D it feels good to be saving again. The matching with GenCorp stock fund but that is liquidatable.
