Wishing I had moved to safer waters -- but feel kind of stuck and will ride out I guess -- currently still in C 47% and I 53%. Feel an ouch coming.
 
As of 7 Feb

Went 55% I, 25% C, and 20% S close of business last night -- going to let her ride -- hopefully not too far down before she comes up
 
Question on the I account

Noticed that the I account finished in the positive yesterday but still dropped a penny on TSP share price. What would be the reason? Tks
 
Was thinking of retreating to G today, but

feel that I missed the window yesterday. I've been 55% I, 25 and 20 each in C and S since 7 Feb. Right now I'm still below what I bought in for, so guess I will ride it out, although my gut is telling me we finish down today and tomorrow. Gotta keep telling myself - long haul, long haul.

For some reason I feel like listening to "Free Falling" on the way home --

Not a good day for us C, S, I holder ons:sick:
 
And down goes the C fund

Was planning on abonding ship from the C and S to the G if it appeared we might at least break even; but I think we may pay the piper for the Friday rumor. Guess I will just let her ride, and take the slow boat back up to break even.
 
Good rally yesterday --

puts me positive on tracker -- but counting time this year not in tracker still in the red.

Learned something this morning on contribution allocation: it takes up to 2 days for it to take effect. I am moving 100% over to S for this pay period, but my contribution is scheduled to take effect COB tomorrow. Hopefully it will take effect in time. Reason: I am using 4 Feb as a benchmark for C, S, and I and have my allocation spread between the 3. I fund has surpassed 4 Feb price and C is right up on it, while S is 40+ cents behind. Figured I would move contribution to it for buy in and hope S catches up in next couple weeks. Next pay period will remember to make any changes on contribution a day earlier.

I put the very max I can per IRS in contribution, so deciding where it goes every two weeks based on price per share instead of letting her ride is important to me. How long before they limit the number of times you can change that?

Also thinking about using my first IFT of Apr to move I and possibly C balances to S to go 100% S as I watch the next couple of days, but will probably wait and do so COB Thursday as I am afraid of Friday. While not real smart on this stuff, I like Optionmans strategy right now. Hate to use an IFT so early though.

Currently 54% I, 21% S, 25% C,

COB today going 75% C and 25% S

Bad feeling about Thu and Fri -- which means I will probably be wrong and C and I skyrocket.

Guess I'm a girly man -- changed my mind at last second and canx IFT -- staying previous CSI mix for another day at least.

Suddenly had trouble following I fund and it appeared to be diving.
 
Going 50% G, 25% each S and I COB today

On a plane in a little while to Dayton -- otherwise would wait and watch.

Trying to limit damage if we go in a tail spin next few days while I may or may not have access to TSP site -- while still trying to catch a few nickels if rally continues.
 
Changed mind and going 100% G as of COB today -- If going to burn an IFT let's burn it all the way -- plus have a hunch rest of week may not be real rosey

Looking at Washington Mutual that could send this Market up 250 points but then again there was Ambac
