Learning.......I will be staying with the stocks until the Bull movement ends, when ever that may be. Currently my allocations are 50/50 C & S.

In the mean time, I'm monitoring the funds to ensure that I have the best performers. And if possible diversify between the two best.

It was going so strong , could of been a speed bump! I know, an Oklahoma pot hole!Yah thats what it was! It hit a pot hole!

Things were positive in the market talk, then I started hearing this grumbling about oil? Oh no, not again! The market is undervalued. The oil was just suppose to be a spike because of speculative buying.

Tom figured that the market (S&P) had a 13% rise in the last 4 months.

Ending today for the month the TSP funds have posted gains/losses as follows:
G= +.02 F= +.13 C= +.16 S= +.21 I= +.05

Vacation is close at hand, and I will probably need to park my funds is a more conservative allocation while I'm here and there. I agree with Tom that during this bull market I want to be in stocks, at least 50%. So, for my vacation traveling where there is no puter to change allocations, I'll probably go 20-20-20-30-10 in the next few days. Capital preservation so to speak!

Mmmmm! Now that I'm a 100% G: I'm wondering when to jump back into this thing. How strong of a correction will we have here. What do you think guys. Either this market is going down all in one day or maybe two I guess only time will tell. I am past the dead line to get in today but like the chances on tomorrow. I'm thinking the C fund has some catching up to do but may just spread out in C,S,I. I'm kind of like Tom I am trying to reserve funds but also increase my % on my investment for the year.

Corrections or any firming up, whatever, have not indicated any patterns that I could see on the charts. The last correction was considered to be 15-20 points (S&P) but actually made 13 points. In the latter leg any correction or firming up has been within the week.

Tom sorry to hear that you were hit at work for this sight.:X I have used this sight to get to their sight. If they want us they find a way. :x

On another note. We have had the pull back that you wanted. LOL This time I shall try not to run away, run away and pay the price. I'm worried, thats good right:? The I fund should have done good today. Dollar down. No insult to those of you in the I fund, I just wanted it to stay up a little longer. Happy for you!And that is the truth!:u . When I leave the C and S fund some time next year, I hope to go to the I fund.

Take care all.

When both S and I took the hit yesterday, I got a bit worried. So, I bailed to G today figuring the pullback was starting. Sure enough, all the foreign markets took a dive except for Japan and Australia it seems. Then ours followed suit (thankfully, the S went up slightly after dropping $0.10 yesterday).

I still managed to profit on my moves at least... did well on I, so-so on S, but was pretty much flat on C (3/4 gained $.05, 1/4 lost $0.13).

So did I, but I'll let the daily fluctuations pass by for the primary movement of the market.

Didn't our mothers say "a watched pot nevers boils". Mike... maybe we need to take care of Christmas, and Santa will take care of the market ?

I'm being very proactive right now... if Monday is a sea of red, I'll probably use it as a buying opportunity. Knowing what I now know about the I fund though, I doubt I'll dabble much in there until it corrects (back to the $14.60 range).

I do not always have the ability to get on a computer. Then when I do it can be real late. So that is where I have been. So, some of my trades are late. This can hurt. I had some of the good days. I have faith though for next week. If I do not get on again 'till Christmas, Merry Christmas. To those serving in hostile countries, you are in a lot of peoples prayers. Thanks
