If you are already "in" when the month rolls over you can IFT to any fund twice (2 per month) and still be allowed the default back to "G" at any time for a total of three.

So starting tomorrow (I'm in S), I can move to C then move to I and then hope over to G?

Bingo

You can always bail to "G" at any time you wish.

Thanks MacDaddy, Lots of new TSP'rs out there still learning! Good explanations.

Can anybody explain why th AGG chart showed a gain of .26% yesterday, yet at the end of the day it only went up .02%

 

[nnuut]

That chart is always problematic, keep in mind that the Bond Market closes at 15:00 EST, but the chart continues on for after hours trading.
This has always been a mystery.

 

[MacDaddy]

So it's not just me? :nuts:

I did notice the chart changing after hours but wasn't sure why????

This market scares the hell out of me :worried:
I've been camped in the "F" fund since the 3rd week of August and I'm getting tired of watching these gains come and go. Since everything is so unpredictable and volatile so I am reluctant to risk anything. Even if I did, timing these recent rallies seems to be more luck than anything else.

I'm buying aggressively worrying too that this market may slap me again - but the direction is forward. Fear is the greatest buy signal everseen in the stock markets. Many investors miss the fact opportunity missed can be just as harmful to achieving investment objectives in the long term as money lost. Ease your way in.

I gave you rep for this post but it was really for the video you posted in todays commentary.

Looks like it was me :embarrest:

Well above my target for the year so I figured it's about time to play it safe for a bit

Norman Fosback is expecting that stocks will gain about 22% in the next 12 months, and he thinks they'll average 11% annualized over the next five years.

Your move was impeccably timed! So when do you think you will re-enter?

 

[MacDaddy]

Thanks, but I'll consider it more lucky than anything else :nuts:

Not sure about a re-entry, I'm thinking a pullback is (somewhat) near so I'll likely sit out for a bit and see what develops. I'm not too eager to risk my early good fortune.
