I disagree with that. I think it's the opposite. A falling dollar means a rise in Euro, Pound, Yen, etc...Much like a rise in the dollar subtracts from the gains in the I fund, for us.

Concur with 350z and Ebb... Falling dollar bad for C/S while Rising dollar bad for I fund.
I think that what we need to learn from this is that this administration has borrowed more money than all the previous administrations combined. In the past when our money was backed by commodities such as gold, they really go a long way. However, When Pres. Nixon decided to detach our currency from the backing of gold, $$ starts to lose its buying power. As a result, our money is now being backed by IOUs.
I am beginning to lose faith with our $$ which is why I am going to start focusing on hard commodities such as RE. Land and buildings (if maintained properly) never goes down in value over time. But if I am to put my money between C/S/I for a long term hold (like within the next year or so) I fund will definitely be on top of my list...

Hello Peeps! I'm back from my vacation. 06 has been a good year and I hope that 07 will be even better. Just a quick update, I decided to stop my ROTH IRA but continue to max my TSP. Why? At this point, I am more concern about my tax so putting money on TSP is a wiser choice for me for now. As for the ROTH, well, this retirement account is really just an icing and I don't plan on using them when i retire. I figure that even if my kids have to pay taxes on them, they will still be ahead than those regular kids out there who are not getting anything when their parents passes away. Also, the real estate portfolio I am putting together should take care of them for the rest of their lives.

I'm closing on two more properties for the month of January. I found another way to look for bargain properties and will discuss them in my RE thread.

I would like to thank you all for participating with this site. We've all had our ups and down, and even some disagreement (sometimes) but in the end, everyone seems to refocus their effort to help each other out. On behalf of all moderators and our gracious administrator, we hope that our 07 becomes even more profitable than our 06 returns. By sticking together, the travel to the top doesn't become lonely. Thank you..
Pyriel

PS... Now, I can start posting my moves again but it wouldn't be as much as before;-)

I'm envious with those who are in stocks but I know that February is one of those months that goes up and down it is not wise to jump in when its going up. We still have some trading days left for February so we'll see. I'm thinking of jumping in when it goes down. Question is when?

I agree.

Don't have anything to prove.

I dissapear for a couple of weeks and you guys tank the market. Now, I have no choice but to hang out in the I fund for awhile lol. Its a good thing that i just paid off the mony i borrowed from our TSP. The only consolation I have is that im buying low. I see alot of new players around and I have to admit that I am very impressed with their contributions. It seemed that the word is getting around and I just want to thank everyone for helping one another.

Please continue to help one another (especially me).

I heard that it started on your side of the street first.........:blink: :cheesy:

 

[pyriel]

Ok, I'm pretty much back to where I was at before the big drop. I will continue to hold until around sometime May timeframe where I will decide whether to hang out in G or go half/half in G/?...

I'm currently not following anyone right now or reading any kinds of market movers. I am testing the Nov-April vs. May-Oct trends. However, if I do see a considerable drop within May-Oct timeframe, I will not hesitate to jump in earlier...

Goodluck to all...

 

[pyriel]

This upswing is ridiculous and should be popping soon. Last year we didn't see that mini correction until 2nd week of May. We'll see what happens this year...
P

 

[pyriel]

I checked 2004-2006 current timeframe price for the I fund and it seemed that its been consistent with what is going on now. There is a drop within a day or two before reaching for a new high. Then it nose dive sometime around May timeframe.

I'll continue to hold with my 100i until first or maybe even second week of May but my fingers are on the trigger.

P

 

[pyriel]

Hmmmm... Stocks are up. Just like what happened the last 3 years around this timeframe.... We should have an up swing for a week or two. Hope this market doesn't deviate from the last three years;-)

P

 

[pyriel]

Wow, lots of people jumped out of stocks and went to safety. I'll probably regret this but I have to stick with my plan. So far the market is doing what its supposed to do on April which is to go higher until it hits May for that pullback. ;-)

Pi,

Since you are so kind with your words and look past the big nose (go back and look at the photo you have), I'm taking the grandchildren to the beach again this summer (that photo you have is at least 3 or 4 years old), and I am going to take you a new photo and send it to you! Be prepared for a little aging! I have switched to a one piece suit finally!

Your faithful friend
Miss GA
