Not sure what the tax affect is. I will have to dig a little deeper.
Ok, not that it really matters but I did say 2 posts back I would explain. I will keep it real short. Got up Thursday morning and it was real windy, not 5 minutes later BAM all the lights go out. On our side street a big tree came down and took down the power lines, phone and cable as well. Power didn't come back on until Friday afternoon. In the mean time my roofer showed up Friday afternoon to start the installation of my skylights. It had finally stopped raining, at least for a little bit. Saturday continued with the skylight installation. I was doing all the electrical hook ups for the lights and some new outlets since the roof was open. That's it nice and short.

A little surprised at the market yesterday considering the news. Now today is down and not looking good. It appears that May 2011 has picked up where May 2010 left off. 
Finished April at 3.49%. But now I will be giving half of that back in just the first two days of May.

So are you holding out for a good exit point when you regain your losses from May or are you going to eat them and move to G today?
I have 2 IFT's for the month and it is too early to burn one yet. The first half of May is typically good but it can also be squirrelly. So to answer your question I am going to stick it out for now.

Yeah I most likely will as well, but I've been getting antsy as it gets closer to 1200.
Last week I moved to G-10 S-30 C-30 I-30, but I don't know that it did much since all funds are down except F it seems. Oh well it's just money I suppose and I'm only 25 so I have a while till I retire.

Agency leaders decry 'cheap shots' against feds
By Emily Long elong@govexec.com May 3, 2011
"Federal employees too often are the victims of negative public feedback and deserve additional support from their agencies, top government leaders said on Tuesday. At a Public Service Recognition Week town hall hosted by the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service, officials expressed frustration over the negative perception members of Congress and the public have toward federal employees. Managers must be held responsible for making the tough choices necessary to single out and reward high performers, they said, and agencies must encourage innovation, improve communication, and assist employees with career development..."

House GOP pondering strategic debt-ceiling vote without cuts
By Billy House National Journal May 3, 2011
"House Republican leaders say they may allow a floor vote to increase the nation's credit limit without any of the accompanying spending or deficit-reduction reforms they have been demanding all along. The idea is to allow the vote, which they expect to fail, as a way to demonstrate that the idea of a "clean vote," being championed by President Obama and other Democrats, has no chance of passage.
"Dead on arrival," is how House Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., described it on Tuesday..."

USPS distributes reduction-in-force notices
By Emily Long elong@govexe.com May 3, 2011
"The U.S. Postal Service has sent reduction-in-force notices to administrative employees to prepare them for future downsizing. The notices went out last week with little fanfare. Postal officials earlier this year outlined plans to restructure the postal workforce and cut 7,500 jobs, including 20 percent of the administrative workforce and 10 percent of the postmaster jobs. The agency on April 28 sent general notices to administrative employees at headquarters and at other facilities who could be affected by reduction-in-force procedures..."
