With today's close, the (C) got its head above the water a tinybit, leaving the (S) still undertow. It may look like alotta GREEN, but it's nothing impressive.

Yeterday's losses:

C= 1.14%

S= 1.32%



Today's gains:

C= 1.19%

S= 0.66%



As you can see, that (S) is lagging as usual.

God Bless:^

I finally went from 100% G to 50% C, 50% S effective Monday. I've been pretty much in G since December. I'm expecting at least a technical rally, but don't get too comfy.

Wow... what will next week bring to the table?!?

Hopefully not more of the same.

Does everyone still intend on being in equities?

Or are you going to see how the week begins?

God Bless:^

You saved yourself A LOT of $$$ by remaining in (G)!

Hopefully your patience will pay off.

Spaf reply: This market is too unstable for me to go 100% equities. My max. is 50%, and I'll stay the course, provided, the Horsemen are kept at bay, especially oil. Recently the C-fund has the best response to stocks so I'll be 50G/50C. If they let energy (oil) make a jail break, all bets are off.

Off TSP check out performance (opinion) of utility sector [iShares IDU] also some bonds[iShares TLT]. If stocks go up iS [IVV] will correspond to C-fund. Caution, all equitues can be risky and need to be closely monitored. It's almost a day to day thing.

On this roller coaster, take along pleanty of air sick bags, and hold on to the railing. Remember the G-fund is a good safety harness if U are able to sell high and need a breather.

Rgds! Spaf

Oil fell below $50 per barrel due to the US economy's lethargic performance in the first quarter and rising inventories... if it stays below $50 (big IF), we could see a rally starting up.

Thanks for the complement, but I should say that I've only been with the Gov a year, so it's easy to be patient when a few percent doesn't really amount to much. Also, I have dipped a toe in (20% of already a tiny account) one time since the first of the year. Last year I did get in for the Nov-Dec rally, butgot outway too early.

What I'm really trying to do is learn to trade my account based on a longer time frame while the account is small. I'm not used to having to make a decision half way through a trading day. On those key reversal days, it makes it hard to really play a short term wiggle. In my non-retirement account I sometimes trade the QQQQ, SPY, or DIA. The TSP is certainly a different animal.

It's great to have this site up. Great Job!
