I just do the opposite of what tsptalk does. He says 100% G, I say30% C -40% S - 30% I. He says 100% C, I say 50% G -50% F. It works every time.

Bob,

What are you really saying then? Tom has spent a HUGE amount of his time on this site, getting all of us together so we could ALL benefit and understand things better, not to mention his gov't job he keeps up with plus his art studio.

If this is a preview of what you will be contributing, maybe you should NOT post and keep your little "opposite" strategy to yourself. Just remember, when you think you have it all figured out, THAT''S when the market will humble you. Let's keep things positive. Peace out.

I said what i meant. No foul intended. That's simply my strategy. If you don't like my strategy, you are entitled to criticize it. But to try to shut someone up because you don't agree with them? I don't think that is the best idea either. Just my 2 cents.

Bob,

Intentional or not, your post comes across as quite rude to Tom. Tom is a great mentor to many, including me, who otherwise would be completely ignorant about investing in their TSP accounts. Not that I follow him all the time, but I always respect his opinion and his thorough analysis in his daily Market Talk. Disrespecting Tom will not win you any friends around here.

Well said Neirbod, I don't necessarily always agree either, but he has taught me a lot as well and I appreciate what he has done and continues to do "on his own time".Tom especially deserves respect.

VirginiaBob,

Thanks for posting. We've always emphasized posting your strategy here so others may learn from them. We also encouraged people to post their moves so that we can verify the validity of their claims.. How about posting your moves before the deadline so that I can track it and be able to prove to others your theory.Fundsurfer usually uploads the monthly return of each posters so that we can see who is doing well, in hope that we can learn from their moves.

I really would like to see your return at the end of the year. I'm sure others feel the same way. :^

Nah, I'm just wondering where my own secret contrary indicator has gotten off to these days. VirginiaBob don't take offense from the recent scoldings, as a matter of fact Tom is probably delighted you are using him as a contrary indicator - at least you are using your brain and have a strategy. The market cycles take time to develope and over time Tom may end up correct in his own strategy. As an investor one has to blaze the trails alone - it's your money. Just remember there are no refunds when you feel the hammer - try and have fun. Take care,

Dennis

Yeah Right. Bet you blink and the traffic light changes from red to green every time.

I guess I deserve that. Sorry you missed the 5% I made in May and June. See? It can happen to any of us.

Sorry you feel that way. Tom has helped all of us sooo much. I personally believe that Tom in the long run he will beat the market and most of the members on this board. I have learned so much from him. I believe that most of the time Tom is correct with his allocation has should be listened to and followed. He follows a strict set of indicators that are usually around 90% correct. (but that doesn't mean they are not always correct.) Just like at a casino you may win in the short run but over time you will end up losing.
I follow Toms comments everyday, and really read into them. That is one of the main reasons why I am currently in the I fund. Because if you read in his comments he talked about the I fund and the probability that the fund will go up. So in the past three days I have gained over 1% from that move alone.

Finally you can make money going against Tom in the short run but I feel in the long run you will end up losing.

Good luck to all
