So, I have a PM in to Tom to start tracking me for 2010. My plan is to invest 100% into last month's second best fund at the beginning of each month. My theory is that this catches a trend on it's way up, as opposed to the Last Month's Best Fund Method, which I feel may catch a trend at it's peak.

I will be starting out 2010 with 100% in the C fund.

You started off Great !!!!


I'm looking around for the newer members with just a few posts (or replies).

Some of the best methods for sharpening your investments skills is by allowing others to randomly challenge you here and there.

So if I noticed you 'on line' I might ask what was the name of the young adult boy and girl in The Beverly Hillbillies.

We've found the better you get at these challenges the more your TSP investments soar.

WELCOME ... and GL

JTH,

Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.

We changed it to 'Chase the Bull'

That way friends can tell each other anything.

So today I felt a lot better about being in the C fund, as the S Fund took a much bigger dip than the C. All month the C has been trailing the S, and now I'm not sure what the numbers will be, but the C fund has probably closed a little of that gap.

Well, this month it looks like the F fund took the prize, with second place going to the G fund.

So, 100% into the G fund.

Alright, in February, the number 2 fund was the C fund. So, 100% into the C Fund for March.

Finally, we have a net positive increase this year.

100%- I fund

So, I moved across the country in April, and in the midst of all that, I completely lost track of this!

For May - 100% C

For June - 100% G

For July - 100% G

For Aug - 100% C

It looks like so far this year, the strategy has brought me down about 7.5%

 

[beafet]

We are 100% in G for September.

100% I for October
