Hello all, newbie posting to this site. I have been reading and gaining some good insight from this Message Board for quite some time. Yesterday I went from 50C & 50S to 38G, 40F, 10C, 10S, 2I. Got caught by that surge in bonds and I don't like my in price on F. I still have 1 IFT left, not sure what I will do with my F shares right now. I am still a little bit down from the carnage over the last month, but I became a little skittish of this nice rally so I went for a safer position.

Thanks for all the advice you guys put on this site, don't know how much I can contribute because I am very much still trying to figure things out.

Welcome CrabClaw. You are in the TSP funds and can gain great information here from some of the regular posters. A fe days ago, I submitted my first IFT I see you have posted one message so far. I will be keeping track because I wouldn't want you to get ahead of me. My count is in the dozens. Just jesting with you.

Welcome CrabClaw. You are in the TSP funds and can gain great information here from some of the regular posters. The other day I submitted my first TSP for the month with most in G, rest in FCSI. I may use my other IFT before end of month.

Consider me jested!:nuts:.

I may use my other IFT soon also. That 12PM ET trade deadline has thwarted my last couple moves with some unplanned short covering in the last 45 mins of the day or whatever. I really hate that deadline. I can deal with the 2 IFT's per month, I dont like it but I can at least plan for it and deal with it. A deadline closer to the end of the trading day would be very nice, at least you know what you are getting and not gambleing (for lack of a better word) as much.

That surge in the F fund caught me off guard, was not expecting that, was wanting in around 100 but got in around 102, ouch. I have seen 105 thrown around on here as a top for F a few times but I am not sure. I will probably let it ride for now.

Still working on getting an Avatar together also
 
Thanks for the welcome wishes everyone.

Took a bit more of a gamble today and increased my positions in the risk funds. I am hoping this rally continues a bit more, however my fear is this could turn on a dime also. Thoughts?
 
You will find all kinds of different opinions but I am very cautious of this rally. Whatever you decide, make a plan and then stick with it and keep emotion out of it. Good luck!!
 
Welcome to the Message boards CC! so so so much good stuff to read, i go way back and read the old stuff alot just to see how it all worked out, enjoy!
 
Yea I have been doing that since learning that you can do that. It really does not matter for me though as I have 1 IFT left for the month. Hopefully we get a good entry point here sometime soon. I left a little more in F than I originally had planned, maybe it will get to 102 on the AGG??
 
The sell off was pure foolishness - some just looking for an opportunity to catch a profit. Now they'll have to buy everything back for the bottom line.
 
So after some hemming and hawing I have decided to stay with my current allocation of 18G, 51C,11S,20I. The trend is still up and we are in a bull market. I would like to have more in S and a little less in I but dont think it is worth burning an IFT to make a shift. Will stay put for now. :)
