If I understand the question, you would just make transfers on two consecutive days.

This guy has an interesting theory -- if I caught the jist of it. Today (Thursday) should have been a low point and then it should be upward for four to five days. Then a big drop (the time to buy) and then upward...

Do I have it right Mr. Bucks?
well that is one theory anyway.....who knows 4 sure.

it is possible that the bottom is in, oil will go back to the 45-50 buck range ( glut at hand), dollar willstay somewhat stronger and the big caps will plod upwards. really think we will see a rotation from small/ mid caps to the big caps this year. would like to buy back into I fundand add more to the C in the ST.

like to read all the crazy notions out there since most very seldom ever occur...:dude:

not in one trade...requires two seperate orders on two consecutive days.

or you could place an AM order and then another after the 11am central cut off.

*of course the phone transfer is another option if computer is not avail.

Ans: Make a interfund transfer before 12:00 ET, and another after 12:00 ET. However, this is a next day deal.

Consider 2 other options. 1. initiate a transfer after closing and ck the market in AM. If things look good let it ride, if sour make a cancell before 12:00 ET. 2.Wait for a confirmed trend to take hold: a bullish MACD, increasing money flow in the CMF, and a positive RSI not overbought/sold. And a confirmation of the P-SAR (Ideally for 3 days).

Right now we are in bearish territory with 3 big market uncertainties; energy, rates, and inflation. TSP has a 1-2 day transfer delay, it was not designed the same as online discount brokers systems. Plus bottom fishing is very risky at best.

The employment report was a dud. 110k jobs added in March, and February numbers were revised downward as well. The unemployment rate fell to 5.2%, though.

Not surprisingly, the markets jumped at the news, because for the time being at least, they appear to be more concerned with inflation and bigger rate hikes than unemployment data.

OK I understand that less people on the payroll the more money companies make. But, doesn't this mean the economy sucks? I mean missed the job report by half? People need jobs to fuel the "consumer driven economy". Come on! Someone give it to me in mostly one syllable words.

It means the Fed might be able to ease upon raising interestrates. :) That's why the market likes it early on today.

The market likes slow economic growth. 1/2 point interest rate hikes are worse (from the perspective of investors) than job reports that come in 100k below expectations. The economy is still creating jobs - just not at atorrid pace.

After the rapid movement up, the market is retreating now. I still think we'll head up today, but it'll be interesting to see what happens with oil. We could see a push to $60 within the next week. :shock:

U.S. construction spending totalled $1.047 trillion in February, a new record high and up .4% on the month.

The University of Michigan's consumer confidence index fell from 94.1 to 92.6 in March.

There appears to be no stopping crude oil prices, especially after yesterday's prediction of $100+ per barrel by the Goldman Sachs Group. June crude oil jumped up $1.87 to close at $58.29.

June unleaded gasoline closed up 7.10 cents at a new contract high of $1.7461 after news of a refinery problem in Venezuela.

Dry conditions have stressed soybean yields in southern Brazil there and now there is concern that too much rain farther north, in Mato Grosso, is said to be hurting the crop quality there.

July wheat was down 8 cents at $3.33 with no fresh export news to support prices.

Dow Jones Newswires said that crop forecasters in the Ivory Coast are expecting the cocoa mid-crop to total 250,000 tons, down from roughly 300,000 tons last year. July cocoa started the day higher, but closed down $42 at $1,591, said to be pressured by today's stronger U.S. dollar.

The Florida Citrus Processors said that there were 139.2 million gallons of frozen concentrated orange juice in inventory as of March 26th, down 11% from a year ago. July orange juice was up .45 at 101.25.

The Kingdom of TSP

Market weather and Tarot Cards April 1 Closing

Weather: Indexes dipped, slipped and tripped. Horsemen (rates, inflation and energy) burned more market fields, sending townfolks running. A bucket of lube at the market went for $57.25, up :} $1.87.

Cards (charts): S&P closed at 1172.92, down :{-7.67 or (-0.65%). The CMF money flow indicator decreased to -0.239. RSI relative strength decreased to 40.5. The MACD moving averages were bearish at -7.37.

Remarks: G-Fund remains safe. Support at 1163 is now a WAG. Caution - bottom fishing is risky, red bars at bottom.

Rgds, and be careful! :? Spaf

Short term looks bad, but long term looks good if Tom's data holds up (negative surprises = big gains over the next 90 days).
