Where is the LIA?
Little Ice Age (LIA), climate interval that occurred from the early 14th century through the mid-19th century, when mountain glaciers expanded at several locations, including the European Alps, New Zealand, Alaska, and the southern Andes, and mean annual temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere declined by 0.6 °C (1.1 °F) relative to the average temperature between 1000 and 2000 CE. The term Little Ice Age was introduced to the scientific literature by Dutch-born American geologist F.E. Matthes in 1939. Originally the phrase was used to refer to Earth’s most recent 4,000-year period of mountain-glacier expansion and retreat. Today some scientists use it to distinguish only the period 1500–1850, when mountain glaciers expanded to their greatest extent, but the phrase is more commonly applied to the broader period 1300–1850. The Little Ice Age followed the Medieval Warming Period (roughly 900–1300 CE) and preceded the present period of warming that began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[more]

Your question is unclear. But if you mean to ask, in effect, 'where is the Little Ice Age on the chart I posted,' then it would be a little to the left of zero. Simply take the dates you posted for the LIA and apply them to the chart I posted.

Additionally, the chart I posted, created by NASA, deals with CO2, not temperatures or glacier coverage.

I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make. Could you clearly state your assertion? For example, my original point was that CO2 levels are at extreme all time highs ... and those levels correlate with the advent of the third industrial revolution. Do you disagree with that fact? Do you have a rebuttal? I also noted that the world has seen record temperatures in June. Do you disagree with that fact? Rebuttal?

You seem to be addressing something I never discussed. That's cool, but maybe start a new thread? I (or others) may or may not have input to a topic other than what I posted about here (I don't respond to every single post on this site...only topics that interest me. I'm not really interested in the LIA, per se. But maybe I would be if you can somehow connect it up to what I did post about ... my quote you included in your LIA post).
 
I have attached the August information. My thinking right now is to stay in "C" and hold onto my 2 IFT's just incase I have to jump ship. Too many variables right now for my crazy 8 ball to give me an answer on what to do. The "C" fund has done a little better then the other funds but over all not a good month for stocks. Good luck everyone, we may need it.

Here is the September information. Not sure what I'm going to do. I might switch from "C" to "S". September isn't a great month but "S" is either really good or really bad. The "I" fund is a possibility but with Brexit and Hong Kong it's a crap shoot. Good luck everyone.

Gotta buy a new case of sticky pants. This month has depleted my reserves. :angryfire:

As of yesterdays close, the C Fund up 1.21% for the week, S Fund up 1% and the I Fund up 0.99%. That's not much of a safety margin. Is today the day we turn negative for the week? If so, that makes it 4 weeks in a row for the C and S fund and 7 weeks in a row for the I fund. To the good side though, we only need a gain of 0.33% in the F Fund to be positive. :nuts:

Looks like we are in for some more pain...:(
 
Not sure what to do for September. It's either really good or really bad. With all the geo-political and tariff bs just not sure what to do. I'm thinking "S" fund but a little birdy is chirping "G". I want to make a move Friday so I still have my 2 IFT's for the month.
 
I'm having a hard time making up my mind what to do. ChessGuy moved to "G" this morning and you can't look past a 30.59% YTD. 2 year and 10 year bonds have stabilized a little. I can't remember the last time I went into the "G" fund but I think that is what I'm going to do. Protect my 18.69% YTD. Good luck everyone.
 
Well this is the longest I have sat in the "G" fund in years. Getting antsy to get back into the market. Debating what to do for October. Like September it is usually a questionable month for stocks, but this month has proven different with all the national and international turmoil that was leading up to September. My luck is if I had stayed in stocks my value would have dropped 2%. :D I really can't complain too much. I'm almost at 19% YTD though my high point was just over 22% a few months back. Sure wish the top 10 in the AutoTracker would post more. Would be nice to know how they are staying close to that 30% profit line and what their thinking is. :hmmm:
 
Taking a chance and putting 50% into "S" fund. The other 50% is still in "G". Good luck everyone.

Good luck nasa. It was very tempting this morning and I was thinking of the same 50/50 split you are going with, but we still have the ISM Non-Manufacturing Index due out tomorrow at 10:00 am and on Friday the jobs report, due out at 8:30 am. With that said, I'm keeping my powder dry for now, but may enter after I see those reports...:D

Hoping the reports today and tomorrow are at least neutral to positive. I still have one IFT and sure don't want to use it going back to "G". Want to be 100% all in for November and December. We could all use a little luck.
 
I'm having a brain freeze. Does an IFT count for tomorrow at 4pm or today at 4pm? This holiday always throws me off.
 
Never mind I got my answer. Duh!! went to the source.

HOLIDAY CLOSING
Some financial markets will be closed on Monday, October 14 in observance of the Columbus Day holiday. The Thrift Savings Plan will also be closed. Transactions that would have been processed Monday night (October 14) will be processed Tuesday night (October 15), at Tuesday's closing share prices.
 
Currently sitting 50% G and 50% S. Hoping to get the other 50% in soon. November has been a pretty good month for the C & S funds not so good for the "I" fund over the past 7 years. I have attached the information for November. Good luck everyone.
