Nice timing on that move. How long do you plan on keeping that position?

I'd say until it's NOT time to keep that position! I think you're in great shape.

Burrocrat, I'm not 100% certain, till end of 2014 for sure. I'll probably be in G January 1st, 2015 (per usual) waiting to buy the dips. I firmly anticipate we'll test the previous highs through the 1st quarter of 2015. So in general terms; I'm bullish through March. But to me Oil is the wild card in the scenario.

I will add, I just checked TSP and yesterday was my best ever 1 day gain .

OK, Decided the opportunity to lock in 4.6+/-% return for the month of December was too tempting! Who would've/could've predicted a 4%+ jump over a 2 day span!!! IFT executed 100% G Fund @ COB today!!

I Love the Smell of $$$ in the Morning!!

Thank you Santa Rally!!

Gut told me to get out and take profits today, stayed in 100% S to see what Monday holds in store, I hope this wasn't a mistake.........

I like your decision for today. Barring exterior rumor events and disasters, I like the carryover momentum that shows up in the indices after a big runup. Melt up seen in the cards next week...however...the deck of cards is loaded...turmoil I see in the cards. Have a great day all.

 

[burrocrat]

kave you nailed that trade. impeccable timing. i got in 1 day earlier and took a minus 0.75 hit, and i got out 1 day earlier and left plus 0.50 on the table. sweet turn there man. over 5% on a 3-day run. nice. who's the bank walker now? that is stuff of legend. good on you.

I see it as a buying opportunity!

On another note, I purchased HAL today as a holding for my traditional IRA. It's hovering at a 52 week low, has a strong P/E and has tremendous upside potential. Won't touch this $$ for another 7 years, so roll the dice!!!

IFT executed effective COB today F-25%, C-25%, S-25%, I-25%

Feel like spreading some 'Kave Love' around to da funds!!!

 

[kave]

IFT executed effective COB today F-25%, C-25%, S-25%, G-25%. I expect to lock in a modest gain out of the I Fund today so with the screwy market I'm gonna lock in that gain by moving that to the G-Fund. For some reason I do expect the bulls to return and move the market upward going into the MLK Holiday. If I'm right or wrong, I may be make an IFT from C & S to G tomorrow. I still think there is some more upside in the F Fund so may wait and lock that gain next week.

Currently, I'm at -.8 for the first two weeks of 2015. The way this SCREWY MARKET has been I'll live with it. It could be worse!

Ah, the ramblings of an old man !!!

IFT executed effective COB today 50% G-Fund, 26% C-Fund, 26% S-Fund

I was surprised to see that you backed off the I fund since it has been doing so well but with talk of sell the news and action on Greece this weekend I think it was a smart prudent move. I remember things went south quickly last year on Emerging market fears especially Greece so I may wait until next week to see how the I fund does.

Well, I was up a little in the I Fund, so i decided to take that profit (even though it was a small profit). To be honest, those markets scare the crap out of me. I don't hardly understand all of the influences on our markets let alone those in foreign lands. So I'll take small gains where I can get them.


Also, per my system, I always close out the month in the G -Fund, so I'll be in a postion next month to buy the dips with the two IFT's we get. Then I'll move the gains (hopefully) back to the G as we enter the next month. I don't know but this plan has worked pretty well for me over the past couple years. The only times I've suffered set backs is when I've deviated from it. So I'm trying to be more disciplined, first with my $, next with my tongue, third will be my diet (haha)

Best of luck to you!!

 

[pmaloney]

Thanks for the explanation of the rationale for beginning each month all in the G. I never really understood that but it seems like a pretty good strategy I may try more often.

Good luck to you too!
