Back to the S Fund. Hope todays loss holds.

 

[ILoveTDs]

100% F Fund COB based on Fed rate hike

 

[ILoveTDs]

100% S Fund COB to save both IFT for next month.

 

[ILoveTDs]

System is going 100% F Fund COB, however I'm keeping my real account 100% S Fund for the foreseeable future.

 

[ILoveTDs]

100% F Fund COB.

Sick of the up/down the last two weeks. Off next week and TSP closed half the week. Burnt the IFT in June to save 2 for July.

 

[ILoveTDs]

50/50 S and I COB. Getting back into the up down up down

 

[ILoveTDs]

100% S Fund. Should have never put half in I fund to begin with. Hasn't out done S Fund in a decade, don't know what I was thinking.

I believe the “I” find outperformed the “S” fund last year.

 

[Tsunami]

100% S Fund. Should have never put half in I fund to begin with. Hasn't out done S Fund in a decade, don't know what I was thinking.

Statistically the I fund does extremely well in April and is the place to be this time of year, and in fact that seasonality usually starts in mid-March and lasts into late April or early May. Here's the data over the last 10, 20, and 30 years comparing the C, S, and I funds. (prior to 2000 this uses the MSCI index as a proxy for the I fund and the Wilshire 4500 for the S fund). % Pos means the number of months over that time period that were positive, and CAR is the Compound Annual Return. I have no idea why the I fund does so well in April (and July and December are it's other strong months), perhaps the dollar tends to be weak this time of year.

Selling MRK buying MORT.

I think it’s going to be a dividend type of summer.

 

[ILoveTDs]

Buying CIM

 

[ILoveTDs]

Buying more BP

 

[ILoveTDs]

Buying more AMKBY at 52 week low with +25% dividend yield and not a REIT - dollar cost average baby. Not to mention they essentially have a global shipping monopoly … ain’t going nowhere.

 

[Whipsaw]

Awesome tip, thanks! Have you looked at ZIM?

 

[ILoveTDs]

No, but I’ll watch them now, see how they do long term. Looks kinda like OP, too much risk for my blood.

 

[ILoveTDs]

Sold LEGH and SPHD and bought BCC

 

[ILoveTDs]

Bought ICL, need them dividends

 

[ILoveTDs]

Sounds like a bunch of bears around here … bought more AAPL, and some KO and ABR last week. Picked up some PSA on 15 June.

Buy them while they’re cheap … before this bull is fully awake.

Probably pick up some MCD with my FDX dividend this week.

Hopefully I’ll turn green from red on NFLX if they can cross that $465 line this month, if so I’ll add a 5% stop loss once it hits $500 a share.

Wish I had bought more BCC.

 

[ILoveTDs]

Making room for this bull market.

Bought some AMKBY and ZIM last week, along with a call option on NYCB.

 

[ILoveTDs]

Keep climbing NFLX need to get out of the red.

Set limit orders for tomorrow open on OPBK, SBSW, and AZO.
