Handballer's Account Talk

you have to divide the dollar amount in each fund you want to raise by your total account value. If it comes out to .999xxxx then it will show up as 1.00% and you cannot raise it. If you do the division and it comes out to 1.005xx it will show up on your account as 1.00% but you can raise it to 2.00%

Thanks for the info on the <1%> moves.

Thanks for the info on the <1%> moves.

Explain in detail please. What is the purpose of this anyway? Are you saying there is a way to trick the system into "giving" you a little more on each ift? I just don't understand what the big picture is but I am curious.
Thanx -fish-

Fish, Try thread at the top of Member's Account Talk for info on this topic.
<1% IFT Option (read only)
Gives you an option once you've used up your regular IFTs.

See Scout's answer. I'll post as I try to gain a percent using this method.

Interesting to watch other members trying to explain the <1% move.

Frankly if one were to practice a healthy, safe sex dollar cost averaging technique you should be able to accumulate all the shares one would desire.

Being fully retired, I can't afford to lose sense I am a retired FERS worker.

I see Pokerstar went 100% F fund. Didn't notice that before I made my move.

 

[Birchtree]

Thanx - I hadn't noticed that. Fear is a great incentive.

I have submitted many IFTs this year, more than 20. The one I submitted on 10/25th via web was accepted and today I received confirmation by mail. This was the first confirmation I have received by mail this year. Looking forward to confirmation by mail for the IFT I submitted yesterday.
