I fund for May 08

[tom1tom1]

I went buy-and-hold in the I-fund for 4.5 yrs before I found this site last Dec. I feel fortunate but would never admit being one of those people. haha

Buy and Hold is a valid strategy. Especially over a long period of time.
Hopefully, inflation wouldn't offset any preceived gains. I came to this
site with a Hit & Run mentality. With IFT limits and a short term career,
I wouldn't have changed a thing, unless I was forced to do so. Now, one
must do their homework, study and read. Maybe you could call my new
stategy; Buy and Shelter,,,,, naaaaah ,,,,, Stroke & Hope ,,,,, naaaah
I don't know ! But there are several well experienced members who use
and can validate their Buy & Hold methods. Good Luck to both of you.

Before the I-fund I had the C-fund 100% through the 2000's period coming out way ahead. But I like this way through the forum to make wiser decisions but it probable really comes down to the monkee throwing the dart.

By the way I have a lovely wife & two beautiful daughters(20 & 16). But had to come up with 8 syllables. She doesn't approve of my "market timing". Have to ask Tom if I can change it to just Tom1?

I am 100% I fund and have been for the past two years. It has done better than the C or S funds, and based on the weak dollar, it should continue to be a good bet. GO I FUND!!!:nuts:

I'm glad I have company, Been sitting in I the last 8 months with the IFT limits bugging me and the nasty letters from the FRTIB. Anyhow, I lowered my contributions to the TSP fund and focsued on the "move my money when I want to approach." I fell in love with a currency exchange program and seem to do well with it, I've beat the stock market to a pulp!

I am paying off the homestead with the rest.

My 1200.00 free money went to Roth IRA.

And I love eating PB&Js while watching my friends spend their retirement at McDonalds! Oh, and I ride my motorcycle to work.... 1/3 the gas means 2/3s the savings!
