Fund movement ?

[respro]

I am under the impression that it is not a good idea to be in the G fund on the first day of the month. Purely from an IFT number standpoint. If I'm in the G fund on Oct. 1st and move to ex. S fund on the 2nd, I have basically only 1 IFT left. So (less than 1% IFT not being discussed) I get some bad vibes on Oct. 2nd and put every thing back into the G fund. OH NO! JAIL! There's my 2nd IFT and I'm stuck for the rest of the month. So now lets say I'm in the S fund on Oct. 1st and put everything into the G fund on the 2nd. There's my 1st IFT. On the 6th I pull everything out and back into risk. There's my second IFT. But I can go back to the G fund once again but I'm then in the slammer for the rest of the month. So technically, as long as one is not in the G fund on the first day of the month they have 3 IFT. So if that is true are there any advantages that I don't see yet being in the G fund on the first? I know I'm probably at least a little off base here so any help is greatly appreciated. One thing I do know is that our IFT RULES ARE HURTING ALL OF US! Anyone interested in starting a letter campaign, petition, etc, let me know. I'm all in!
Thanks, Respro

You are correct, your choice to be in a particular fund should be based on something else than on your IFTs, IMHO.

Second, it has already been tried and well, didn't go anywhere. Blackrock and the TSP folks have us by the...

Check out nsurf9 account talk and he has a link to another thread about getting more IFTs... but I am to lazy to search...
