< 1 pct. IFT Option

Re: <1%IFT Option

Emo,

You hit it on the head with the 6% if you have assets in the other funds. It is actually potentially more if you use ALL five of the L Funds. If you leave some assets in C/S/I/LIncome/L2010/L2020/L2030/L2040 you can adjust them all up. That is a potential 8% move. Obviously, it will always be less since you will never be allowed a full point move in any of the funds...

I missread your point on the AutoTracker. The answer is yes. You can see Amoeba leading the pack with over 50 trades this year. He makes and records lots of bailouts and <1% moves. My bigger point is that the AutoTracker does not - and cannot - compound in your salary contributions. I really don't want Tom poking around my privates:p.

And, the assets you have outside of G have whatever risk they have. However, if you are 96% G you will never lose more than 4% - yuk, yuk:o. I see where you are coming from. However, if everything else goes to 0 the best investment will be guns and butter churns.:p


The amount in each individuals account is a non-issue, nor is allocation contributions. If each person in the auto tracker starts with 1, as gains and losses are realized, that 1 fluctuates also. So hence my curiosity if we could do the <1% in the auto tracker to capture the reality of our individual accounts. ;)

I understand the 0% risk of the G, but was trying to understand the risk of the allocation into the Equity funds.

The addition of L funds is to be able to ramp up exposure to equities in a volatile market. For example, if the market was flat, then hit a patch of volatility which may signal a breakout to either side. If I was 1%, 1%, 1% in CSI, the L funds would be good for another 3% exposure to equities? In theory I could adjust my exposure to equities up a hair shy of 6% a day, yes?

If everything goes to 0 I'll take the gun over a butter churn. I'm not a gun owner because of all the kids I have in the house, but when wearing the uniform I will double tap the bad guy so that my kids will still have their daddy.

Emo,

Since I can't shoot straight - never had the honor of wearing the uniform - I'll choose to sit between you and Birch:D. I'll pass the water and ammo.

Back in the day you'd still in the have a place in the battlefield. Reload weapons, spot enemies, run messages, apply first aid... I am not a master at arms by any reach. Electronics Technician by trade but I do have a marksman with the 9mm and a sharpshooter with the M-16. I've scared the **** out of the entire range shooting the riot shotgun. :blink:

Re: <1%IFT Option

fyi- we talked last week about the old "1%" thing. the question was- does it still work?


Well, Yes. it works.

I have just successfully moved from 1.01% in a bunch of the L funds, to 2% in each of 13 funds. the G fund went from 84% down to 73%. So yes, I apparently can move up to 11% additional in other funds in a single day for a third move.

chalk that one up to the lessons learned.
 
Re: <1%IFT Option

Many thanks to former member Squalebear for the 1% option. Good to see it's come back into the light, and excellent example of how effective it could be. hattip, James.
 
Re: <1%IFT Option

It is very import to remember not to waste your precious 2 IFT's per month to perform the <1% move. This is something that can be done about every other day to rebalance your account after you have used up your 2 IFT's.

So this still worked as of the end of September 2021. Has anybody tried it with the new funky system?
 
Re: <1%IFT Option

The new system does not allow the <1% IFT if it results in less money in the G fund. I have 51.23% in G and 48.77% in C from an original 50/50 split and wanted to rebalance to 51G/49C. I got this message:
You are limited to 2 fund transfers/reallocations, including transfers in or out of the MFW each month. You may only move money into your G Fund until the beginning of next month. (000826502)
 
Re: <1%IFT Option

I hadn't tried it but I believe someone else mentioned that a few months ago so thanks for the confirmation.

So far the only advantage of the new system is the new investment options, but they ruined that with excessive fees.
