Peaches,
Take some action on the C fund promptly - don't wait - it will only cost more later. Go in gently with 25% and if it does turn down buy another 25% worth. If it goes up just buy another 25% worth - basically dollar cost average yourself a position. What are you doing with your contributions - G fund is a waste of your hard earned money. It's time to get off the curb and join the parade - march on and upward.

GAWGA,
I'm not new to TSP, but I'm certainly wet behind the ears when it comes to watching my account. I've made at least 14 IFTs since April 18, before taking BT's advice and went 100%C at 13.19 a share. I thought I was buying in too high then. I'm glad I did it.
Now, I need tofigure out do I stay or do I pull out when things do begin to head south. In making my 14 IFT moves I found that timing a move with a 24 hour+ lag time stinks. I've been a fanatic reading others moves and comments and little by little I think I'm beginning to see the bigger picture and hopefully I'll come out ahead.
BT has my vote.

Yes, you are correct in your concern. First of all, as all members would agree is that none of us are professionals, so in the end our comments are only opinions and that we each need to make an educated guess on what we decide to do.
I rely heavily on Tom's (tspgo) opinions, he and others I believe will tell youto find a strategy and stick to it. Tom is stickingto his strategy and his market indicators. He has stated more than once that his indicators are some times delayed before they actually come to fruition. Tom and most members on this board are short-term investors, whereas, BT is more of a long-term investor. It does make a difference in your strategy.
If you are long term you are willing to ride through the highs and the lows, dollar-cost-averaging I think plays a bigger factor in the long-term strategy. If you are short-term maybe the market is too high to get into at this point and that is why many that had not gotten earlier are waiting it out in the G-fund. BT is looking for the market to shoot to the stars and so what he’s saying is that if you don’t buy in now you’ll be buying in later at even a higher market price.
I’m sticking it out 100%C through the rest of the year, which qualifies me as a long-term investor. I need to make money, so I’m taking a higher risk. I can’t make money in the G and F funds or at least not the kind of money that I want to make. When the market does retreat I'm considering distributing some of my funds into the S and I.
I’m sharing with you what I think I have learned from this board so far. I’m hoping that other members with more experience will jump in to confirm or dispute what I think that I’ve learned and that way we’ll both learn and that is what this site is really all about.:^

Re: GeorgiaGal's Account Talk
1. Rolo is at another forum.
2. What I hear, generally, those who were in stocks took a loss, went to G and may or may not have re-entered. RE: 59B=G, 93B=CSI.
I learned a lot trading with F____. Most govt employees didn't have a clue, and still don't. Members and guest on this board do. However we are a minority. Thus Life cycle funds to the rescue.

Let's See if You Are a Man or a Mouse
Will the Chicken Liver who rated my account with one star as "Terrible" fess up and give his reasons?
Let me guess. Could it be someone who is jealous of my higher than average returns here?
Could it be someone who just cannot abide being challenged?
Perhaps what you want is for all female members to go the way of Sarah?
You just keep on being jealous, whoever you are.
LOL
GAGAL

Re: GeorgiaGal's Account
I feel your pain. It might have been the same guy(s) that rated me about two or three days into my membership. I have two votes of one star, but since I don't really know what it means and don't really care, it hadn't really occurred to me to seek arbitration. I agree that if it is to mean anything that there ought to be some sort of standards for the ratings and some qualification of the raters to ensure standardization.

Re: GeorgiaGal's Account Talk
Ooops! Posted in your "account" thread... meant to post here:
GeorgiaGal,
Someone who does this sort of thing is to be regarded in very low opinion indeed. Don't give it a second thought, as these forums are rife with these cretans. The cream rises to the top, and as you know, there is nothing better than Georgia Peaches and cream!
Hang in there, and spite them with your generous monthly returns!
