eccougar's Account Talk

[Birchtree]

I would continue to buy that C fund puppy every two weeks for the next seven years at least - it takes shares to build a retirement.

 

[WorkFE]

Birch, your word is gospel, I have been all over the C fund, max purchasing.

Fly baby Fly. Hopefully there is not a flock of birds in our path.

 

[eccougar]

Thanks Birch for the encouraging words. I thank you and try to keep up with all of your posts.
Outside the TSP account I have about 60% of the rest of my accounts in equities giving my entire portfolio near a 70% stable, 30% balance. I would like eventually to get back to a 60/40 split.
Thanks again.

IFT changed to 70% G, 30% C, adding more C fund shares.
Still buying C Fund every 2 weeks. I used the 1% moves in March(only on down days) and accumulated over 200 shares of C Fund in the $9.25 range.

As of 7:45 AM, the TSP homepage has not been updated for Friday's transaction.

Still holding 70 G and 30 C and picking up C Shares every two weeks.
I'm planning on staying with this as it keeps my over all allocation around the 60% Stable value and 40% equities split(10 % international).
Will take a good look in May as the old saying walk away in May.

I just noticed the S-Fund has passed the G-Fund on the tracker.
Still holding 70 G 30 C, while buying into C-Fund every two weeks.

It hurts to buy that C fund every two weeks don't it? But that's the kind of pain that will provide a good retirement down the road. I always say that dollar cost averaging as a discipline is the redeemer of all portfolios - what was your lowest C fund price. Mine was at $8.54 - hated to miss those $7.86 prices, but one can't have everything. A year from now you will look back and think to yourself how it hurt so good.

The next upside target for the S&P 500 contract is 937.00, according to technical analysts at INO.com.
It should be another nice day for anyone in equities, especially the I-Funders.

A move above 940 (42% gain from the March low) and especially a move above 1000 on the S&P would take the worst case extended bear market outcome off the table.

If this bill is passed in congress, the vouchers would do wonders for the auto industry.

I went 70 G 20 C and 10 I today, to get some international exposure.
