G penny today?...why or why not

I would think it would pay tomorrow since it paid on the 4th day last time and with the yields on treasury bonds being lower than they were a month ago, it should take longer to pay the penny.

For the lurkers and the uninvolved,
This is simply a message to anyone who sits in the G fund and does nothing. The govt is not taking care of you here. You cannot stay in here and think you are going to be set when you retire. For me, and this is only me, I use this sort of like a parking lot with good security. I come in here and wait. I never consider when the penny is coming. If I do get it it's like they added a new feature to the lot. But with the opportunity we have with the other funds you must take advantage. Educate yourselves and get involved by taking an active interest in your retirement. If your just going to sit, one of the other funds might be a better choice. It is a safe haven here but to set yourself up you need to take some calculated risks.
Good luck and I probably should have just shut-up about it.

When the Market is in the Doldrums that "G" Penny feels mighty good instead of, hanging-in-there and losing your butt in the other funds. The trick is to figure out when that time is! It is really tempting to Hang-in-there when the Market is in a downward trend, gotta make that money back, tomorrow will be the day, or the next day, or the next week, it will happen and I'm gonna miss it, goodbye to hard earned +%.
There is no easy way!! When you figure it out let me know.
Be agile is all I can say.

I did. But I had a 3 month contract with the parking lot. I was waiting it out in there. I will NEVER ride anything out. I didnt want to gamble recklessly so I waited until I felt things were settled down. I hate losing and hate getting FV'ed on the bad side. The post was for people that spend years in and never take action and I get the feeling there are some who come here but are afraid to interact and get involved because they lack knowledge or think they do.
I also spent from 7-11 to 8-10 in the G fund exclusively not making a single move. Temptation to gamble is hard to handle. I am learning to control it.FUTURESTRADER

I agree...best for those folks would be L funds, while learning some technical and fundamental analysis. "Spend your time before you spend your money" Yu Dee Chang.FUTURESTRADER

Next increase
Looks like they quit given the G fund rate increase ahead of schedule when the Fed stop raising rates.....so we're shooting for the 24th this time.....

Looks like the last date didn't go quite as I thought. Guess we will have to assume one day early until things settle out.
Rubbing the Crystal Ball this morning and out pops the next rate date....29th...it seems to be a day early.
There is a way that each and everyone can "pictorially" predict the G fund rate increase (and be fairly accurate) using Excel....if you mearly plot the Fund prices by date and then use Draw to draw a straight line (light blue line)for the last 50 or so days on the rate increase days (bottom of the plotted fund price line)...sort of like underlineing it....as we do words here, then with that projection extending a few days out (no need to go more than 7 or 8) which you can set up and establish using a trend line analysis (orange line) on the fund data (right click on the fund price line and choose "Add TrendLine") say a moving average, you can then plot some additional Draw lines (black) to find the next approximate intercepting date. I have found it pretty accurate, but I do calculate the date instead.
