Glad to see you started an account mlk_man. You may have done this in another forum but, care to give us a quick overview of your strategy here? It will help us follow your account.

Thanks!

Basically I'm sort of following the 3-moving averages that are explained on www.tspmoney.com. But instead of waiting till the fast moving moves below or above the slower moving trends, I have "set" cut-offs of .30 above and .20 below the 30-day average price of each share of whichever fund. I do "tinker" with it a bit and buy-sell according to comments I see or feelings I get. But for the most part, I follow my simple plan.

hehe, C is the only one with a green light. I don't feel so bad about my move to C yesterday now. (yes, purely a conscious-soother there)

I do not know anything about their system, I just took a quick look:

The last thing I probably need is another system to futher cloud, confuse, and confound my schizophrenic strategy(ies).

With my current system, I'm looking for a pull-back from the S fund to 12.6 per share and the I fund to 12.9 per share. When this happens, I'll get 100% invested in stocks again.

Forgot to mention,, your 3-day moving average is curving into your 15-day moving average. Another "sell" sign.

Since I'm very close to a "buy" signal in the C and S funds, I put in for a transfer to 50% C and 50% S to take affect tomorrow. If the markets go down a little today, I don't want to miss a chance for a re-bound after the earnings report from Intel comes out. Just a hunch. If the markets go down a little more, it won't kill me. They'll be back soon. :^

Currently 100% G, but will be50% C and 50% S tomorrow.

You were right about the I fund mlk. The dollar is rebounding today and the I fund is going totake a hit. :shock:

Do you have an exit strategy for I Fund, Tom? I was thinking of selling I when it hits 13.55 or so.

You may have to set up your own moving averages function because I don't think I pasted my function just the current values.

I'm watching those trendlines on the dollar.

So you are not following your "system" on these trades, right". Just wondering.

I'm confused. In your excel spreadsheet, you emphasize the 63 day moving average, with a sell point .30 above that, and the buy point .20 below the 63 day moving average. You went out of your way to figure that out for us as an example. Yet in your quote above, you say that you look at the 30 day avg. as your get in get out point. Which one is more important. Humbly,

Joel



P.S.- I have been pasting in the prices and came up with the 63 day avg's of the stock funds as follows:






[align=center]C[/align]

[align=center]S[/align]

[align=center]I[/align]


[align=center]11.80[/align]

[align=center]12.82[/align]

[align=center]13.20[/align]

And the current share prices at:






[align=center]11.69[/align]

[align=center]12.75[/align]

[align=center]13.28[/align]

Is this what you have? According to your system, we would not be in any of the funds, with the C fund .11 from a buy, the S fund .13 from a buy (both need to go lower by this much) and the I fund is way over the average. Am I on the right track with this? I'm still in the G fund 100%

Thanks for your help.
