Did anyone here put in a buy before the bell rang ?

With the weekend close in hand , I was wondering if any buys went out. I think S&P was at 2752 close. With 2 days to cool off, it will be interesting to see what happens on Monday. Does anyone want to come forth & read their crystal ball ?

    Nope, one day moves never get my impulses to go any way or another.

    Even if I thought I had a clue Prez Bonespurs would piddle out a tweety rendering a good process worthless at best.

    A bunch of small adds (cost-averaging in). Nibble nibble. Wait for the bigger drop.

    Why buy on an up day?

    PRPFX +.08%
    DODLX + .19%
    OQGAX +.55%
    OREAX +.35%
    OPGSX +3.09%
    TMSRX +.21%
    RPSIX +.08%
    DODIX +.15%


    @Mark Re Prez Bonespurs.:)

    Same here. One day a trend makes not. If I do buy anything it'll be in chunks, taking advantage of volatility and Tweety Amin's itchy twitter finger. Because so much #winning!

    @hank; If this is an up day for you I'd hate to see your down day ! How did your portfolio do ?
    @Mark: This isn't about a ONE day move. Market on downward move for last 6 weeks !

    @Derf +.07% for the day. Stuff that reacts to lower rates, like real estate, had a good day along with high grade bonds. Being diversified globally helped as the dollar weakened against some currencies. (Lower interest rates tend to push it down.) Exposure to gold (OPGSX) was the real kicker today. I added an additional small spec position in the poison (not a typo) 3 weeks ago. Might just hang on a while longer.

    @hank schwab investments took a hit, -.35. Will check Vanguard later.
    I''ll check out OPGSX later & may replace prpfx with it.

    @ Derf, -.35 is mild on a day like this. PRPFX is more for holding long term. Gold and mining funds are more like spinning the wheel at Vegas.
