I'm flat for now(100% G-fund). Since I'm 'scared' I'm going to miss the next uptrend, that means I should wait for further downside action. If I go against whatever emotion I am feeling, I usually do pretty good. As soon as I stop being afraid of missing the uptrend, and am afraid to get in because it looks like the market is going to 0.00, that's when I'll go 100% C & S. I do sometimes put in 20-50% when the market has several really bad days in a row to catch a bounce (like a week ago), but the TSP doesn't lend itself to quick trades very often.
Good luck all!

Welcome Swanee. Sounds right. Hedge funds can decide who they take and who they don't. I recently read James Cramer's autobiography. He talks about him starting andrunning hishedge funds. What a crazy life that would be. He finally quit the fund one day saying, I'm leaving while I can still walk out of here, rather being carried out.

Mutual funds can't do all those neat things many traders would like to do; go short, swingor position trade, play the option game, write covered calls, etc, etc. Hedge funds can but you have to be a higherclass investor (not your lifestyle!!, your assets in the bank and your experience), like what the SEC calls a class 3 or 4. They want to make sure you can handle the hit if itcomes and not try to sue somebody because you couldn't absorb the risk. Have I got it right ? :shock:

Tracking your every move as usual Tom......I always try to stay close to what you suggest. I have gone against the grain and done well a few times but have lost most of the time when I goon my own. I appreciate your assistance. Now...Ihave a question about one of the links on the first page of this site. It's a link which takes you to a page which talks about "Hedge Funds"....tell me honestly....is this a rip-off scheme?...If not how do you get into this type of investing?
Thanks...

Rod, I don't think it's as bad as it looks. I fund was down 0.5% after currency exchange impact. I realize down is down but if all things stocks remain even over the next 2 months, I fundis expected togain 4% just due to dollar devaluation. I hope we are at a stock market bottom as I myself bought in 100% I fund yesterday AM. Good luck!
