Gilligan's Account Talk

I just had a novel entrepreneural idea. Since there are so many cluck, cluckers sitting in the G fund wouldn't it be great to start an egg farm. If I could collect 5 fresh eggs from each clucker on a daily basis times the number of federal cluckers in the G fund - what possibilities. I'll need some help taking orders though, not to mention distribution. Now you know I'm just doing a little pun - but the seeking shelter is classic right before a jump in prices. Isn't there anyone besides me that believes we are going to have quite a violent rise in stock prices?

I feel it, too. That violent rise right after the more violent fall! Hope for the best but plan for the worst. I bought low and just sold high and I ain't waitin' around for $17.00 in the C this week!

Birch,
I feel so sorry for you, at these high prices you wont be able to buy your regular order of C fund shares putting your goal of 40,000 further down the road.
 
Gilligan,

Thanks for feeling my pain - at last someone understands the value of accumulation rather than percentages. I was thinking the same thing earlier today - my next DCA should hit tomorrow 9/29. My most recent purchase was at 14.52 and the next will likely be close to 14.80. But we all have to make sacrifices, perhaps we'll get a correction back to 14.50 in October that will allow me two more DCAs under $15.00. In 2007 I might just be forced to climb the mountain taking small bites all the way up and bigger bites all the way back down. I'll take the shares over percentages everytime. My pistols just glisten with a light coat of oil - ready for action when the time arrives. Yes a $0.50 turn around on 40,000 shares will add up quick - real quick. Especially if it can be recurring with a certain degree of bodacious accuracy.
 
FiveTears,
As a matter of fact I just came in from my new project, a new log home. I didn’t realize that it has been a while since I posted here, my account has been sailing along in the S fund thanks to your advise. Looks like you had a good run in the I pit today. Keep the petal to the metal and the rubber side down!

Happy Thanksgiving to all !!!!
 
I still holding to the I fund, just haven’t had much time to move my shares around this month. I am currently negotiating with a gas company about a right of way across the back side of one of my income properties. Besides just getting money there are several things to list in the contract. One of the main things that I want them to do is to install about 600 feet a new fence along the pipeline. The fence that is currently there is in dire need of replacement.
 
I’ve been in the I fund for the last 2 months and I am moving to the S fund because it has outperformed the C & I for the last 6 years on average for the month of March. Todays drop has nothing to do with my move(in fact I told Fivetears and Viking this over a week ago during breakfast with my trusty TspTalk.com coffee mug), as I’m typing this, the Nikkei 300 is down by 3.5%, so this may not be the smartest move. With the dollar so low I believe that the S fund is the place to be, the dollar is likely to rebound over the next few weeks.

I’ve been busy with construction of my new house. Today, the wife and I looked at an investment property that we were going to put an offer on until our RE broker told us it already had a contract pending. That just means that someone else thought it was a good deal and we are searching for another one while we wait and see is this one closes or falls through. Even if I lost 3% today with my TSP and maybe more tomorrow it doesn’t really phase me. In a month or two the market will rebound to another all time high. By the time I get ready to take payments from my TSP account, I will probably have enough cash flow from real estate and other investments that I wont even need this money, but it’s a good back-up plan.

I don’t think my wife would let Ginger or Mary Ann inside. If we had extra guest, we could just hang up some hammocks. Mr and Mrs Fivetears have already completed an inspection of the construction.
 
Moving to the G fund, first time this year that I have been out of stocks. I wish that I would have gone with my gut feeling Monday and sold my S fund shares. I’ve been beating 8 out of the 10 funds. I want to get on top of all of them. I plan on buying the S back at a lower price.
