Just found this WebSite a couple days ago. I have no experience in investing and as a result only change positions one or two times a year.

Jun 2, I went 100% G fund for the first time. After reading today's post, I decided to move some over to F fund. I have never been in the F fund before. I am normally 100 percent in the C, S, of I fund.

The reason I went to G yesterday was due to the run up in the past month. I was thinking the market would go down in the short term. I will be back in the Cfund at 100 % probably by the end of the month.

Aggie 76,

You must be a graduate of that great university in Texas. Hope you have boots.

If you wait until the end of the month to go back to C fund, you run the risk of leaving a lot of potential gains on the table. Not much to be had in the F fund at this time in the interest rate cycle - unless you have accurate pistols to trade. Good luck.

Yes to both, Texa A&M and I do still havemy boots. Thanks for the advice. I have NO "accurate pistols to trade". Just taking a "breather" after the run up in May.

Trying to catch that penny that members are talking about.

I will probably stay in G for the remainder of the week.

Expecting the penny tonight based on information from the board. Chasing a penny or two over in F (50%) until retreating back in the G for the next penny.

I've made more IFT's this past week than I've made in the past two years. Hope it pays off.

Aggie 76,

Have you contemplated why it is that you are making thses moves at this time - after being complacent for the last 2 years? How does your luck run - you may be active just as we are getting ready to end this side ways motion - and start moving upward with strength and significant momentum. You are having some fun, right? That's really what counts - stay informed.

I noticed that I had roughly the same amount of money (a few dollars more) in my TSP Dec 31, 2004 as I did mid May 2005. I had S60 and C40 during that time. I wanted to do better than even so searched the web for "help" and found this site. At the moment I'm kind of following the majority on the board.

Birchtree,

I just went back to check out the share prices.

Dec 31 (C $12.91; S $14.73)

May 31 (C $12.79; S $14.55)

Not much progress. I only have 12 to 15 years to retirement.

Aggie76.

Aggie 76,

Yes, but you should have gotten some very nice pricing with dollar cost averaging you contributions. That was a heck of a 900 point correction we experienced from 3/7 to the bottom of 4/20. The C fund got all the way down to $12.38, and the S fund reached a low of $13.63. Actually the C fund bottomed at $12.25. And you should have been nibbling all the way back up another 500 points. Good luck on the quick draw. Wasn't the Lone Ranger a Texas Ranger before he put on the mask?

I read 15 investment boards.

All of them are going long for triple witching monday.

I hope we do not all get burned.

I did my transfer last night. This morning they all have the light bulb of the Monday sure thing.

That worries me.

I may drop back to 25% S and C.

Hate to cloud the waters but when fools rush in.:shock:

I got restless and moved 30% to S Fund effective COB today (Jun 23). I do not like being 100% in G. I hope I didn't jump too soon. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

It looks as if I started to come out too soon. I thought about jumping back into the G but will stay 30% S. At least for now.

I am following The Technician into the F fund. Not 100% but only 25%.

Thanks to all posters on their thoughts.

Hiding in the G Fund again. Looking forthe pennyto be paid on the 20th.

Taking advice and going to F fund. Only 50% though. Looks like I bought the I fund (10%) at it's peak. I hope my luck will be better with this IFT.

Sorry for snooping here, but I do hope you can tread water, because in two months from now the F fund will still be at $10.62. Tonto says even he doesn't have the courage to do that trade. I'd rather take a beating than drown. See ya.

I don't mind all. Thanks. I rarely go into the F Fund and when I do it's only for a short period of time. I've spent most of my time in the C Fund since starting my TSP years ago. I hide in the G Fund, like I am doing now, every once in awhile.
