Kave's Account Talk

Sort by newest Sort by date
IFT executed 100% G Fund. As I've communicated a few times here, my retirement model is based on 8%/yr for 2015 & 2016 and a retirement date of 12/31/2016. With the opportunity to potentially lock in a 5%+ gain thru the first 5 months of 2015, Kave is jumping off this rollercoaster and will watch the action from the lounge chair. I'll be looking for the next dip to buyin in June. :beerchug:
 
My dilemma based on my reading of the technicals is do I go 33 I, 33 C and 34 F, or do I stay 100 G. I would consider those short term moves in this market. Right now, I'm bench sitting in G after jumping out in late April just before the end of month correction.

Good luck to all the TSPer's out there.

Cool... I'm in the same ball park as you as it relates to investment obj and time horizon for retirement. I parked 40% in G for now...

A man after my own retirement plan ...... Best of luck to you, I'll be bailing 8 months ahead of you and I like your approach.

Alas, I can't say likewise.
 
IFT executed COB today. C Fund 30% S Fund 20% I Fund 50%. This may be a short lived play!! Will be looking for a 1-2% gain then go back to the G. I personally think the Greece situation will be worked out soon and we can see some positive $$$ Flow to the Kave Dough!!!:banana:
 
IFT excuted COB today S Fund 50% I Fund 50%. Honestly, I felt much better about this move when I pulled the trigger this morning. Dang It!!

Why 'Dang It'? Seems like a reasonable decision to me. I would like a 2% red ink day to re-enter, ala last Monday (20/20 hindsight is wonderful!), but if Greece situation stabilizes I-fund could soar.

An earlier post of mine:

----------------
Opinion: ‘Spectacular rallies’ await investors who buy Greece now

‘Spectacular rallies’ await investors who buy Greece now - MarketWatch

Hmmm.... All TSP stock funds are down lately and eventually the EU and Greece will reach an agreement.
Maybe this is an Oct/2014 type opportunity?

Good Luck!!! :D
 
Thanks exnavyew! The 'Dang it' is with the this Greece propaganda machine and me drinking the kool-aid TWICE!! Remember around June 5th when the news reports came out and said that Germany had sweetened the deal and the markets jumped only to find out about 2 hours later when the American delegates stepped off the plane the talks had stalled and there was no agreement in sight the market dropped like a hot potato. Fast forward to yesterday and the same thing happens. "Greece accepts deal with minor changes" and Kave pulls the trigger thinking this was the end to the impasse. In perfect synchronization I-C-S funds all up. After the dust settles, the devil in the details to the deal are, in essence "this isn't necessarily a done deal". Please excuse my none detail recount of the events as they have unfolded!

Like you I'm reasonably sure a Greek/Eurozone deal is imminent and there is $ to be made. I just wish I had been a little more patient and not pulled the trigger so fast.

Thanks for some steadying of the boat there captain!!

My granddaughter turns 1 year old on September 2[SUP]nd[/SUP]. She’s gets the best of these. I finished them with a mix of ½ polyurethane & ½ acetone.
