Welcome 2moryrs! I have added your fund allocation to the Weekly Tracker. Please read the rules on posting to your account found in the sticky threads at top of Member's Accounts (no chat) forum.
 
I made an IFT to 100% G. Still not getting how to get the timing right.


Hi 2 More,

1. For the IFT to be effective with TSP by COB, you have to tell them by 12 noon EST.

2. For the IFT to be counted on our tracker as of COB today, you need to tell us about it no later than 12 noon EST.

Which means you probably need to tell TSP by 11:55 EST, so you will have time to post it here.

If you are a real mover and shaker, I will expect you to post your move here by 11:30 or 11:45 EST, so I will be able to follow you if I want to.

But I usually don't get what I want (big tears falling!)

2moryrs,

Welcome there!

But, you gotta have ur IFT in by noon for us to count it COB.

FYI the site has some buy and holders, position traders, and swing traders, sorry no day timers.

Tops and bottoms share something in common. They rarely arrive when they're suppose to. And, fishing for bottoms is a great way to get soaked. Hang in there!......................:D
 
:blink:Why did I pick 50 G / 50 I ? To take advantage of the G penny and any increase that might occur in the I fund? How's that for (il)logical thinking!
 
You posted the below in your account today, but the date is for last Tuesday. This cannot be entered for COB 5/15 because it violates our tracker rules. Since it was posted today at 4:14 pm, I will enter the transaction in the tracker for COB tomorrow, 5/22, rather than 5/15. Please read the Tracker Rules in my signature.

:embarrest:I apologize for not getting my postings right.
COB 5/15/07
50% G
50% I
 
Oh Honorable EWGuy! Thanks for the reminder, again! I will truly get it right one of these days. It just takes a little longer for old dogs to learn new tricks.:suspicious:
 
I have made such progress in my TSP account that I could not go 100% F interfund transfer. So I chose to go to 100 % G.
 
In anticipation that G will still pay its penny tomorrow, my interfund transfer today is 40% G and 60% I. Hoping that I will push me up a notch in pay dirt.

It has been so very interesting learning from all the knowledge flowing here.
 
In reply to 2 moryrs post on my thread, if I understand your question correctly, I use a number of monitoring techniques. I watch charts for the SP500, EFA and dow wilshire 4500 which correlate to the C, I and S. The I fund is hard because EFA isn't exactly the fund but it is very similar. I use Yahoo finance, symbols ^GSPC, EFA and ^DWCP. I keep an eye on their charts and also watch RSI (14). I try to anticipate pullbacks and runs when the RSI is high (pullbacks) or low (runs). This is not a perfect science. If it was, we would all be rich. Today, for example, I am moving out of stocks since we have had a number of up days in a row. I would expect some profit taking, maybe as soon as this afternoon. When I talked about 2% in the S fund, I was looking for the ^DWCP to go up about 2% after studying its chart and observing that it had pulled back about that much from its 52 week high. The EFA has been range bound the last few weeks so I expect it to break out but can't say if it will be up or down. My guess is up but that is all it is. The down side of my chart reading is I think it has made me more conservative in my investments and it has cost me some gains. Instead of sitting in the I fund, I anticipated an impending market drop which never happened and sat in the G. I missed out on quite a run. Those are my two cents. Hope this was helpful.

Today I decided to follow the recommendation of TSPtalk. Usually I put my own little twist on it but I thought I would see what happens.
 
Has anyone experienced this:
I purposefully entered an IFT to process for 9/27/07 late on 9/25/07. TSP ended up processing IFT for 9/26/07!

Has anyone ever had success with TSP getting an IFT corrected?

Thanks in advance for any insights!
