10 years outperformance

Tspgirl,

Rokid provided excellent advice - however you said aggressive and the L funds are all risk averse. If the S fund were to offer superior outperformance over the C fund for the next 3-5 years, that would be a time period of 10 golden years. Even as bullish as I tend to be, 10 years is a very long time to hold leadership. Things change and you are required to invest toward the future. You are in accumulation mode - check and see where your money will buy you the most shares on a dollar cost averaging basis. The last two years would have been perfect to allow someone to accumulate a position - when you are collecting shares you don't want big price moves. Take care

Rockin Forum advice

Unless you like to gamble against the house, go 100% L 2040 Fund and keep it there until you retire.

Ok, guys,

I read and re-read your posts. Two diverse ways of viewing the situation. Isn't that what life is all about? Options?

It's like going to the casino in a way. You figure out what area you are most comfy with and go for it. The 2040 is sounding safe tho, since I don't have the gut knowledge built up yet to take the chance.....

Will decide soon. Thanks for the input and guidance.

TspGirl,

Good luck! I hope your decision, whatever it turns out to be, works for you.

Still holding 100% G fund. The bulls consider this a consolidation but to me it is a rolling over of the market beginning to take place aka TOP. A-listers like GOOG and AAPL have broken their uptrend lines since setting all time highs. Leadership is weak. The tech rally has been lackluster at best. The last bastion of strength is in the financial sector - Banks, Brokers etc. The SPX has exhibited a divergence between a declining RSI at equal price levels over the past several weeks. Looking to enter after pullback to 1250's.

Careful you are making to much sense.

Still 100%G. Looks like the market is finally moving lower after seeing the signs of a top since March. Plan to enter stock funds at the other end of the waterfall possibly around the 200dma or 1250 on SPX.

Re: Cortez's 2006 Account Talk

Went 85% G and 5% each in CSI. I am looking for a snap back rally to the previous uptrend line from the 200 dma in SPX. Around 1290 to 1300 before I expect failure.

Re: Cortez's 2006 Account

Hi Cortez!
I decided that all in G-Fund is too boring. I've put my new allocations in C, S and I at 20%, 40% and 40% respectively, and moved 20% of my balance to C, S and I at 4%, 8% and 8% respectively. Why? Because whenever I totally retreat to G, the C, S and I-Funds go up. What can I say? Diversify! They say, "Buy low", so I'm buying low and hoping, as they all seem to go up over the course of time. No? Wish me luck. And if they go down, I'll frown and move them back to boring G for a time, but life will go on. Just keep a watchful eye :blink: on your funds and move them with caution and you'll be OK.

Went 50% G, 25% C, 25%S effective eod June 8th. The SPX and R2K are both at their uptrend support lines going back two years. Expect value seekers to jump into the market soon. Just a short term play as I am bearish for the summer months.
