Hi Jeff. Thanks for joining us!

I see you are going 50% G, 50% I. Is that because of expectedweakness in the dollar?

Good luck!

Hi All,

Never did do the trade I talked about. Could of, should of, *&^&&*#. Anyway going 100% C tomoorow! Trade already done...... I can only hope fora good return on the I fund today. Doesn't look good after seeing the overnight numbers from Europe and Asia.

I am 100%F right now also, but if the I drops any further I'm buying in! I think bonds will rebound .15-.25/share but it might take a couple weeks to a month.
 
Some random thoughts...

After Monday's bloodshed I thought about running for cover but instead all I took off the table was 50%. I owe Tom a thanks for this change in my investment style. Leaving 50% on the table was risky but I view myself as a risk taker. Had the market been down yesterday I would have taken another 25% off. Yesterday ended up for the C & S.

With the market looking positive before the noon cutoff for IFT, I figured the OSM were due for positive day so I moved the 50% back into the I fund. Today I will see the rewards of that play.

I'm still very cautious going forward. But as many have said on this MB, the trend remains up.
 
Starting to look like I made a bad move yesterday moving to the S fund. The I fund is up pretty big today. Have to admit the Thailand market spooked me out of the I fund. Oh well. Hopefully the S will have a small gain today to offset the I fund gain.
 
Now I'm glad I was in the S fund this week. Not sure where I'll be starting next week. Leaning towards the I fund.
 
hi Jeff,
Don't worry about Thailand...
Unless another Tsunami hits...then all market bets are off.

If you go to this link and click on "I-Fund"
http://www.tsp.gov/rates/fundsheets.html

You'll see that Singapore is the closest to the Thailand markets and the I fund only holds .08% of Singapore stocks in the portfolio. Japan has the largest percentage at 25%. If anything happens on the Nikkei then you might want to worry. When you click on the I-Fund on that page you will also see how the I-fund is vested in other countries. Europe is 66.5% and Australasia is at 33.5%.

Japan and the UK are our biggest holdings in the I-Fund. Both around 24-25% each.
Happy Holidays,
Remo
 
Still staying long.....40C, 40S, and 40I.

Posted over in Oil Stuff I think we could see oil below $50 real soon. C and S funds will get most of my attention unless the dollar hits 87. If that happens I'm back 100% I.
