Why not? Its performed good for me and I want to hold a small amount. I don't consider it a large risk. I'm not:worried:.
Yes we do [usually get one 10% or better per year] but we went 5 1/2 years without one between early 2003 and late 2008.
I hope we don't get another stretch like that again for a long time. I'd prefer a predictable market with annual 10% corrections to buy. Is that too much to ask?

Agreed, it's hard to beat the market when you don't get the chance to buy the non-existing dips.

In effect 4/6th I will be out of G and F, into C-45%, S-35%, and I-20%. This week and next, the more I withdraw from CSI, the sainer I will become.:nuts:

It won't happen this week but next week for shore. At the present time, I feel good about making money.
I see three stars beside my account. Thanks for your interest but I don't have much to offer in the way of smarts in investing. I owe my near 6% gain so far this year to those that present their views on TSP Talk. And for that I am very much appreciate it.

Still holding CSI. Yesterday, 4/13th, only a very few of us showed no gain 
or loss for the day.
Next week I will be travelling to a small town close to Nellis AFB. I plan to reduce my holdings in CSI and put the remainder in L2020 rather than G or F funds. Any thoughts on using the L2020 for a short time?

Returned from my trip with less funds then started with. Now I see I slipped from #114 to #146 on the Tracker. 
Doin the <1% shuffle, increased the C, S, and L2020 funds by a %. No change to F and I funds.

That's because you fought the trend. There's still some left if you wanna pick up some scraps.
I was away on a trip and did not keep up with the news. I went from 100% fully invested to a more comfortable position in case the market craped. I have used too many IFTs this month and all I can do til the end of April is another <1% which I intend to do. Next month I hope to move more % out of G but not too much. Being fully retired, I can't afford to lose sense I am a retired FERS worker.
