I am debating if I should jump from S to C. C is loosing less money than S and I could gain a few more shares. Just not sure if we start back into a good bull move which fund will gain more.

From my own perspective it isn’t a debate. The price performance deviation between to the two funds are insignificant to the point I don’t believe it warrants the use of an IFT. Hold tight you may need that IFT for a jump to bonds.

I still have my 2 IFT's for the month. The AutoTracker shows 1 used but that was a correction to reflect my real account because my monthly allocations have been going into the C fund and it finally reached 1%.

Awesome! Considering the 10-day cumulative %tile price performance, the C-Fund has lost 1.69% < S-Fund, but this performace gap will quickly get filled if we rally from here, then you've been left having already absorbed most of the pain, and unable to make up the difference. IMHO the large cap S&P 100 is going to lag on the way back up.

That's my dilemma. If we start another run I would expect the S fund to take a leap with the C fund later this year taking the lead. I was just thinking short term, like June. :D
 
You're in a better place than most, having started the month already invested. You have the option of jumping out, then jumping back in. :)

NASA, in reference to our conversation, there is (at this moment) a .60% difference on the S&P 100 and it's dragging down the S&P 500 as a result. Check out the tweezer bottom on the daily chart, if we finish this pattern on the 2-day chart I'll be even more impressed.

I know that the market has only been open an hour but it looks weird and scary. C and I funds down while the S fund up over 1%, but the W4500 is down 0.60% :confused:

Pentagon in search of 'secret' farmers for Afghanistan
By Max Fisher, The Atlantic June 15, 2011
[/h]"The Department of Defense is looking to hire agriculture specialists to send to Afghanistan. That's nothing especially new -- Afghanistan's economy is heavily agricultural, the health of the country's economy is directly tied to the mission of rolling back Taliban influence, and the U.S. has been sending farming consultants there for years. But writer (and former civilian contractor in Afghanistan) Joshua Foust noticed something unusual in reading the job listing, which had been posted to recruitmilitary.com by a defense contractor. The job requires "secret" security clearance..."

Interesting article based on what appears to be a conspiracy theory.
