G Fund

[vectorman]

Could someone please answer a question for me? If I moved to 100% G fund at 10:00am on Tuesday, how would my account be reflected at COB that day? ie - should my account have incurred Tuesday's losses in the C, S, and I (which it did) or should I have gotten the penny (which I didn't)?

THanks - Dell

Just think of it as buying and selling shares. You sold your C, S and I shares at the COB price. This price is put out alittle after 7 pm at the TSP gov site. Then you bought G shares at the new COB price.

Thanks for the explaining this to me.

From The Technician

I guess The Technician couldn't post on the board for some reason. He asked me to post this for him...

I was going to post the G fund date, its the 24th...will you post it for me.....thanks.....

 

[mlk_man]

I believe the next increase will be Monday the 23rd. Don't forget the holiday last week.................

Thanks Tom

Thanks Tom for getting that posted....I don't know what happened but I couldn't post after signing in.....it said I was signed in but it wouldn't let me post....but we got it in anyway.....

I tried to get in last night but I couldn't sign in on my internet provider site.....guess I'm having "sigh"- ning problems....

Well lets see when the rate increase comes in....I'm sure one of us is correct....

I was hunting Friday....I heard the market finally dropped like a brick.....duhhhhhh!!!

 

[The_Technician]

Good pick MM

The date prediction hasn't been the same since they did the quick rate increase at the EOY.....I wonder when it will settle...

The new date is 30 Jan....

Thumbs up to MM and others who picked the 23rd.....

Carnac,
I think it would be a safe bet to go with Monday or Tuesday for a while. The penny drop has been occurring on the first trading day of the week for the last 3 months with the exception of the EOY adjustment.

Good bet

That would be a good bet seeing its generally is on a 5 day or so period....it should work until things start to skew some....

Well taken a new look

and the "Great Crystal Ball" says that the next increase is going to be on the ............7th!!!!

I went back to check the date calculation because I feel that there are some parameters that are not being properly updated when I do the initial calculation.......the date now says its going to be the 6th.......

The 6th Huh?
Carnac the Magnificient has spoken, count on it!!!

 

[dell]

Looking back, for how long has the G fund paid out a penny a week? Is this something we can always count on?

Thanks - Dell

 

[nnuut]

When the "G" Fund pays it pays a PENNY, no more and no less. The length of the time between payouts changes! I've seen it as short as 3 days and as long as 9 days. That's the trick calculating the length of the period.

Thanks

I've always heard that if you spend your day picking up pennys and looking at the ground for more. You need to look up because there's dollars flying over your head.

 

[case585]

Don't keep your head down......

I've always heard that if a man spends his day looking at the ground and picking up pennies, maybe he should look up because there's dollars flying over his head.

 

[dell]

Maybe

Maybe if you would look where you are stepping more often, you would avoid pitfalls. Who said which saying?

G Fund increase?

What index or where do you go to find when the G fund is expecting to pay its penny increase?

 

[The_Technician]

It been rumored

that one should seek a man named .... "Carnac the Magnificent"....on the late show every evening on the tube....

Looking into the crystal ball again, she seems to be behaving thanks to Gilligan....(he seem to put the tap on it of late), all the clouds clear and it appears that the next shiny penny will appear on the ....oh noooo, the 13th!!!

[Gilligan]

O Great Carnac,
If I tapped your crystal ball the G fund would lose a penny instead of gain a penny. Remember what happened when I cleaned out the Skippers compass?

Keep up the good work, Gilligan
