Spooked just a bit going 100% 11/27

When I was young my parents told me what to do, now that I'm an adult I have to tell myself what to do.

Allocations

100% F fund yesterday, so I'm taking a big chance today going 100% I fund today 12/4. Will look and see what the market is doing may do 70/40 split between the G/F just depends on what direction the markets may be heading. Looking to get a bit more diverisfied toward the end of the month just havn't decided on percentages as of yet. Just keeping and eye on the market for now like everyone else.:suspicious:

Re: Allocations

That was suppose to be 70/30 split. Making these late night post sometimes the brain is trying to shut down work the second shift.

12/4/07 Took a hit today in the I fund after a nice gain in the F fund yesterday. I really thought I would catch the late rally as it was down before I left for work. The Nikkei 225 and 300 closed up so I was hoping to get the gain didn't work as planned. I'm in for the loss so I'm staying in the I fund for 12/5 hope to get it back.

 

[ezmoney]

I will be staying 100% I fund looks like I will be getting some of my loss back.

 

[ezmoney]

12/06 Staying in the I waiting for jobs report and guaging what the feds may do with interest rates. Seems all the talk is the rates will go lower hopefully catch a nice little rally in stocks. At least that is what all of us in stocks are hoping.

 

[ezmoney]

12/07 caught me in the I Fund for a slight bump (loss) I figured as much. I am trying to stay the course till maybe Tuesday or Wednesday. After the feds act on interest rates. May have to start looking at getting out of stocks shortly after that. Hoping to catch a little bit of momentum upward. It's tough trying to stay on this bucking horse. With the dollar on the rise against the yen the S might be the way to go but I am staying 100% I fund for Monday 12/10 if it's up I make money if it's down I will probably be back at even depending on how much of a loss. I'm hoping for the gain; will just have to hang on and see.

12/11 Stay 100% I Feds are suppose to annouce new rates. Will decide what to do about Wednesday once the Fed make their announcement on the rate cut. CUL

whether .25% or .50%, I have a feeling that the dollar will bounce upward
and the I - Fund could lag behind in it's returns. S&P looks to break 1530
and the Wilshire 4500 has been slow to the race. (IMO) The C-Fund was
my top pick, the S-Fund got some strong exposure and the I-Fund carried
the least of my Investment. Anyway, Here's hoping for a record day!

 

[ezmoney]

I have to agree with you; my way of thinking with the rise in the dollar vs the yen. However I stuck with the I fund so that's where I'm stuck for 12/11

I agree see my other post

I guess we were both wrong about the possibility of the S fund outperforming the I fund yesterday. Anyway I got spanked by being in the I fund but it really wasn't my fault you see I hit the wrong button; so I'm calling the TSP Board and explain it to them I'm sure they will give me my money back after all they did say we could accidently hit the wrong button so I can't be blamed for my loss yesterday. Them blasted fools my decision my loss I'm a big boy. Sorry for the late post I took the loss so I'm in 100% I Fund 12/12 today and hoping for a little re-bound but only the COB today will tell. Now I've got to call the TSP Board and get them to put my money back after all I did hit the wrong button Ha! Ha!:toung:

12/13 100% G on the side for today after a bit of recovery.

 

[ezmoney]

Hanging in the G 100% till Monday or Tuesday. 12/17

 

[RunningFool]

I think that is a wise move.

 

[Viva_La_Migra]

I just did an IFT to 100% G fund. I'm going out of town all next week and I don't want to risk riding the market down. I'll look at buying back in when I get back from Maui!
