kb9nvh,

The way it works is that you have 2 IFT's for the month. It doesn't matter which fund or how many shares you move between funds (1% or more) you only have 2. Example; the beginning of May I have 100% in the "S" fund and on 5/8/17 I make an IFT 75% "S" 25% "I" (that's one IFT). On 5/15/17 I make another IFT 50% "S" 50% "I" (that's my second IFT). For the rest of the month the only move I can make is to the "G" fund from the "S" and "I" funds if I want to. Another example; the beginning of May I have 100% in the "I" fund and on 5/5/17 I move 50% to the "G" fund and keep 50% in the "I" (that's one IFT). This leaves you one IFT for the rest of the month. Your 2 monthly IFT's count regardless which funds you move them to and from "GFCSI or L" After your 2 monthly IFT's you can only move to the "G" fund.

Hope this helps. Keep asking questions.
 
Thanks, I just didn't' know if moves to G counted as an IFT. I did know that you could move to G even after you used up two IFT's in a month. Its OK...I just need one more move when I see a good re-entry.
 
Hi, Well my exit may have been premature but I needed to pocket some gains from Thursday. I am doubtful tgat the politicians will get anything passed before October, so I feel like I'm waiting for the hammer to fall on my toes....just hoping to hit only one. So I might be overly cautious with only 20% left in equities. The charts look great... But then seem almost too great!

IF there is a slight pull back I may reenter. Just feel so limited with two only IFTs. One used and one left to fully deploy again. Typically, it seems that mid-June tends to have weakness, so I am wanting to wait for entry later this month and stay in until mid-July. Then wait for hammer again.

this year market just continues upward so maybe my take is wrong and too conservative. I did go against my strategy with the exit as the charts were still indicating I should stay in a little longer. What hhas surprised me is the I fund's continued skyrocketing. Weak dollar playing a role???

Well, I'm good for now. Hope you are all having a great weekend, and Best wishes on your Investments!!!!!!! :smile:
 
Well...guess no one got back in today....the biggest threat to my money has always been being out of the market

I'm fairly certain I will not re-enter until at least Thursday. I want to see how the British election and Comey testimony goes on Thursday. Also, listening for news on timeline and status of tax bill, healthcare and infrastructure legislation. The charts still look great for all funds and all embedded in oversold territory... just holding there. Looks like we are right at resistance for F and S funds, but I and C funds have broken through... yet it looks like this week, the market is pausing a bit. I too am waiting for direction. It could breakout and skyrocket for another leg or drop back down to prior support.

Definitely agree KB... its not good to be out of equities too long during bull market, which we are still in. Best wishes to you and everyone on your investments!!!!! :smile:

Lol... I wish! I lost .10% over past two days... hey.. :nuts: looking up at the Top 20!! Those guys are kickin it outta da park this year!! I-fund indeed!!

I really hate that fund!!!! lol.... :cheesy:
 
Yep. I know market is high, but everything still looks like its going up. I was already in 20% so Geronimo! I-fund dropped, but I have confidence it will continue up. Might get a little pull back short term but overall believe we will be taking another leg up. I guess we will see... Hoping Fed speak next week doesnt cause issues. Market seems resilient.

Best wishes to everyone on Your Investments and I hope you have a Great Weekend!!!!!!! :smile:

I'm still hoping for a June swoon and have my patience hat on. The QQQ looks like it will have an outside reversal today, however; the money may be flowing into the small caps. The I fund has performed well but it might be time to take some profits. Best of luck maybe you can ride it up for a few days.
 
Thank you! Points well taken, especially on I fund. At this point, will just be taking money off the table in little bits...if there is anything to take. Still hopeful. Best wishes to you and everyone! :smile:
 
Well, I was happy to see a little bounce back above my buy-in price. Tomorrow.. will see. So with all I've been reading, I have read or seen on FBN, it appears that the LargeDrop in Nasdaq last week was due to traders/investors moving from Tech Stocks to Financial/Bank Stocks. Some have described it as moving from Growth to Value stocks.

It would appear that with bill passing house last week to get rid of (some?) regulations under Dodd/Frank and Fed Rates increasing (possibly tomorrow or later this year), the stage is set for financial stocks to do better long term due to easing of regulations. Obviously, Dodd-Frank change bill still needs to go to the Senate and probably through some type of reconciliation but there is movement in that direction and I have read that the Administration does have the ability to ease/change many regulations without new legislation. Time will tell what happens///

AS for a possible rate hike by Fed Reserve tomorrow, I should think that if there is no rate hike, the market will not like that (opposite of prior thinking during monetary easing periods thinking...????/// I don't know... do I have that backwards? I understand there is more concern about balance sheet being unwound. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-fed-idUSKBN1940E4


. So, grab your seat! Sticky pants fully deployed! :D

Best Wishes to everyone !!!!!!!! :smile:

So this is what always happens to me....Being retired, saturday I saw the s&p was down -2 and thought "good day to buy back in" (since dreamboatannie did a few days before)..hahaha. realized after I did that it was saturday and -2 was from friday..LOL
So I cancel the move. Monday was a great drop and would have been an Ideal buy in after seeing Tuesday. Now here I sit in the G fund, as usual, not in the market as it makes money for everyone else. My saturday move would have been genious!!! LOL

Now two hours, what to do?
 
This is going to be a choppy week. I wouldn't give too much thought to day to day movements. You just can't time this in TSP with it's limitations.
