so ... here i go again lol

in this market, i am wondering which fund is a better one to buy and hold, the C or the S (Ive been 50/50 for a while). I know everyone has different opinions, but i like to hear them.

lately the S fund % are a little better but it seems to me the C is more of a solid investment.

also on yahoo finance why can we only go back 5 days on the charts for the S fund (^DWCPF)?

Poolman went 50 S yesterday. That's a pretty good tell for me.

question....

other than the tsp accounts, how could one buy shares of our C Fund privately?

A quick follow up from yesterday.


I switched my 2nd largest investment today - thanks in large part to your question - so THANK YOU !!!

Had it 100% in Fixed Income for 1 1/2 to 2 years with 3% GAIN

Today - 40% Balanced - Morningstar - 4 stars
............30% Mid Cap -- Morningstar - 5 stars
............30% Small Cap -Morningstar - 5 stars

S&P 500 Index is Large Cap and only 3 stars and over the next 10 years I'll use the C Fund in TSP enough to balance everything out.

just got off the phone with vanguard, very informative, packet is enroute

thanks to you both, great help!

You'll find Vanguard is excellent in many ways.

Plan for the Long Run and you'll do great.

Steady,

well if my question helped you out then you are most certainly welcome!

Looks like we had a perty good day today, recouped half of yesterdays losses, and even had more shares today back up to +6.61% i think!

I'm at work today (24 hour shifts, 9a-9a), hopefully have more time to catch up on the board later tonight.

be safe!

You do know that clester stepped aside leaving the road ahead clear for high speed travel. Optionman will probably never cluck but you can drive around him.

 

[Birchtree]

I also noticed that Intrepid Investor has also stepped aside - leaving you with hardly any competition besides WorkFE.

 

[WorkFE]

Thats only because I'm wearing my rose colored glasses the rest of the month.

 

[Medic72]

i see ya work! looks like its me and you buddy.... if it keeps rolling maybe we can break the top 5 at least. not sure if we can catch clester or scribbler, unless of course we have some very very good days!

shoulda pushed me back up to 10 or 11 today i think.

 

[Medic72]

wow.. i finally talked my ems partner of 3 years into getting out of the G fund, or at least taking an interest in his retirement.

hopefully he signs up here to get "edumicated" haha

I'd say your partner is very fortunate to have a friend like you.

[Medic72]

hold on baby hold on!

Has anyone read the "credit slow down of 1992"? (some sort of paper or research seminar or something)

ive seen a few economic guests (sorry i never caught the names) on the market channels say that it is worth reading to see where we are today.

I have been hearing that we were gonna get to 1000 s+p but now no one thinks we will get that high but will go down one more time below 667, then it's all up from there.

Of course my Redneck non-market educated opinion is that we have already reached the low and its all up from here. (with a few little corrections on the way up of course)

 

[Medic72]

only lost .48% total today, not bad at all!

positive positive positive thinking!

 

[Birchtree]

The advance/decline line was positive today so the internals were relatively strong. This last hour drop could all be ETF related and not mean anything. Apple should provide some power for tomorrow. Six more trading days for the month. Be right and sit tight.

Listen to Birch, it still has legs !

 

[Birchtree]

And tomorrow could easily be another melt up day just to keep the bears on their paws. And I mean a really large melt up day - to the tune of better than 300 points. I say this because no one is expecting that type of move to surprise. The Transports may have broken their double resistance lines today to the up side.

 

[turbo23dog]

Damm Birchtree, I sure hope you're wrong about the market moving up tomorrow. Still waiting on an entry point and looking to be long...

 

[Medic72]

Birch you are the biggest motivator for a bullish person i think there could ever be lol, keep it coming, i love it! (keeps my thread hot and positive!)

oh 10-15 on the tracker are all within .60% of each other, good competition!

 

[Medic72]

ok over on chemmies thread, he says he uses VXF to track S. ive always used dwcpf, which is more accurate or better to watch for percentages up or down?
