My deposit went in yesterday so I am happy! Would be pissed if it went in at the close of business today.

My trading account is up 1.6% today. What can Bernanke do for me tomorrow?

A 4-year bull market is not short-lived. Bernanke has done a tremendous job.

Serious question: is there an exact date the pull back will begin? (In January)

While my trading account is up, and that's good because I routinely sell to take gains, I'm not clear how someone's 401K being up is good, unless they take some profit, and don't just let it sit for the inevitable bursting of the bubble that is guaranteed to follow at some point in the future.
Today's result, and actions, were predictable from both a political and economic perspective. He left the door open for further purchases. Wide open, and seemed to suggest previously set triggers for pulling back were being changed.
Strangely enough, when the demand for mortgages started backing off, they could have decreased the purchasing of mortgage back securities without any impact, yet they choose to keep buying the MBS' at the same level.
I'm not clear today is good. It was for me in that I sold some stuff, and made some money, but if history repeats itself, and it always does, I'd be scared. Very scared.

Was going to dump $3k of my xmas bonus into my Roth today. Guess I should wait for a little pull back?

I'm offering no advice. The way I see it is that stocks are at an all time high, and other investments are beat down. Usually these things go in cycles. Actually, not usually, always. I'd rather take my bonus and buy close to the bottom of a market, rather than at close to its' high.
I do the exact opposite of almost everyone else. I also get about the exact opposite results. It's personal preference, but let's just say I'm happy getting the exact opposite results of the majority. 90/10 rule. It takes discipline.

It is a Roth. Waiting for a 2-3% pull back is useless if you've got YEARS before you need it. Put it in and be done with it.

Go ahead and put it in.

So I go check my fund this morning, ticker symbol LTRVX, and the SOB went down 0.25, or 2.14%. Can someone explain this to me please?
It typically follows the market. Could they have paid a dividend? Was just shocked when I saw it this morning and now wish my deposit could have waited a day.
ETA: Must be dividend payment. Looked at the Yahoo chart and for the past two years they have paid a dividend in late December and then December 31st.

Yeah, you bought on a distribution day.
Morningstar
Do you like that fund? I'm have the Vanguard 2050 target that I use for my Roth.
The expense ratio on the Vanguard fund is very low .18%, think your fund is .61%.
I'm curious to how your purchase yesterday will be handled. If you were a shareholder before the distribution, it seems you should receive the dividend? I'm unsure.

I have a very small amount of money invested in mutual funds that I rarely check on. About once every month or two I log on just to check it out, always nice to see it continuing to go higher.

Ha, it is my only choice within my company. They use Principal to handle the retirement. And I say company, I work for local government.

Yeah, I have been a shareholder for a while now. Just continue adding to it bi-monthly. Slowly gaining lots of shares.

I do not have a Roth but I do have Vangaurd etf's in my personal account and I do not have one gripe at all with them. (VUG, VYM, and VWO)
