I fund for September 2009
- Thread starter Corvette
- Start date
As I'm only in for about 16% in the I fund and 84% G, take my comments with a grain of salt. I'm a bit risk averse still in the market. Despite various bank failures, there's still a lot of liquidity in the marketplace, courtesy of the Fed, which may drive market prices up, particularly commodities.
What concerns me is September/October, usually a period of high volatility. Call it intuition, but I don't think the worst is over yet. We've seen the market rise, particularly the I fund in the past week, but it could just be another bubble.
Triple Witching is coming on the 3rd Friday of this month. I'm dumping out on the 16th-17th, heading back to G and probably a little F fund, depending on whether F tanks between now and the 16th. If it tanks a good deal, I'm in. Then I plan to buy back into I, depending on whether it goes down between 18-22 September.
It's a hunch, and it's probably completely illogical. I'm still risk averse. :worried:
I hardly ever gamble.

76 would be a 12 month low.
I may take some off the table if the dollar goes below 76. I am looking at 74.
Thursday EAFE final of +$0.0895
plus Thursday FV (previous day) of +$0.0000 = +$0.0895
plus Thursday FV (today) of +$0.0900 = +$0.1795
plus mystery money of +$0.0094 = +$0.1889 final
I can not believe how well the I fund has been doing since March (or so?). I did not get in until a few moons later and I have been doing great! I kind of follow the Birch scheme of, C-65, I-35%'s, except backwards I-65,C-35%. It is kind of crazy, but What else is there for a crazy Irishman to do? 
There are the elite 9 or so, I - 100%, on the tracker running away to new heights. I do not have my "balls to the walls" with 100%, for I know how volatile the I fund is. I can and I have lost 10's of 1000's overnight. :embarrest: I could ride it out, but I've got other things to do.
