Folks made some good money today.
Not me...because the cash I tried to transfer from my Schwab checking to my Schwab investing account over the weekend wouldn't allow me to do it any sooner than Tuesday. I'm feeling like an idiot right now, but after several attempts the system refused to let me do it any sooner.....missed out on a heck of a day for sure....
buy, buy, buy
I bought some index funds late yesterday afternoon...I don't have the time right now to follow individual funds let alone stocks...so I'll just tack my gains and losses to the market's. It's probably going to be extremely volatile for the next year or more anyway...hopefully I'm buying in low - but I have a feeling that it will be a while before sustained gains are made. I had a bunch of cash stored away that had built up over the last year or two...finally let it ride.
What took you so long? I think things will settle down after the election, hang in there. This is a great market to play in right now if you buy and sell on the ups and downs, but you have to have the time to do that and plenty of beer.
