Good luck Rod!
Thank you, Tom!
Hello all! It's good to be in the real trading world with you.
I am a newbie to trading. I've recently opened Roth IRAs for my Wife & I, and an ESA for my Daughter through Scottrade. I have a couple of predated trades I would like to share with you.
3 Mar: EFU @ 149.89
5 Mar: EFA @ 33.04
As mentioned, I am new at this. I took the approach to hedge EFU against EFA, and EFA against EFU. I realize my gains will be small. But at the same time my losses will be minimal. Once the market stabilizes my plans are to dump, or at the very least minimize my exposure in EFU.
I've tailored Tom's TSP Tracker to track these buys. They are as follows, COB, 6 Mar:
EFA: -1.39%
EFU: -0.29%
Any advice/tips are appreciated!

Welcome, Rod! It's great to see another familiar face join our little band. I'm a newbie, too, but am learning fast because of the great interactions here. Hope you enjoy it as much as I am.

Hey Rod, good to see you here

I just sold EFU @ 144.35, and picked up more EFA @ 33.11.
I plan to go long with EFA.
God Bless

I'm sorry... that was EFU @ 144.38. Not 144.35.

I'm sure glad I'm home right now (due to having a tooth this morning), or I would have never been able to make these trades.

That would be "tooth pulled".
