Went 100s before 1200 est Friday...
I changed my mind after reading what Ebb and Tom had to say. 350 also made an impact on my decision as well as the seasonality.

Just so you know, I haven't talk about Monday yet. Tomorrow morning, if we do get a bounce, I will try to figure out if it's a dead cat. If I smell anything bad, I will bail to G or F.
Good luck.

Hi guys,
Been gone awhile. End of the fiscal year close out is finally over but our training continue for deployment continues. They had a change in policy for the length of deployment and it is now 400 days instead of the unbearable 18 months. The difference in time is that they pushed many of the training requirement to the home station. This means that we now have to be trained and qualified with many Warrior's tasks prior to going to the mob station. Been traveling back and forth to get these training and I have one travel for training left (next week) then the final month training here in home station prior to movement to mob station.
As far as TSP is concern, it seems that the downside had hit us again during the summer months. This is pretty much the trend and for those long term holder, the premise of holding the funds in stock during the Nov-May timeframe and then putting them to relative safety in the g and f fund till around Jul-Aug timeframe seems to be a wise choice.
Ebb's system seems to work great. Ive always been impressed with his system and it seems a wise choice for those who would like some help in managing their TSP funds.
I'll be holding on to the I fund till next year. I hope to make a couple of changes but it will not be until June timeframe. Good luck all and i'm really glad that this site is prospering. Thanks to the dedicated members (old timers and newcomers), I hope to see us to be 5000 strong by the time my deployment is over;-)

Take your time Pyriel and increase your TSP contribution while in the land of no tax zone. All the newbies are flocking to the Ebbchart thinking they've found the easy way to riches. Silly bunch if you ask me. Who's collecting all the rent payments while you are away? GL.

Hi all! Nice to hear from those old timers. Thanks for all your support.
Just woke up (4:30 am) and getting ready to do some combative training. I was suprised to see that the leaders within the leaders' tally has changed. I've never beaten the i fund so i'm staying put since a gain from the i fund is a gain in my return as well.
It seems like this buy and hold scenario is working out for me while switching to the g fund on particular months. Been looking back on the funds return and it seems that every year, the same pattern is emerging. Nov-May are good months, and Jun-Oct are the months we need to watch out for. The latter is also where you can make your money by hiding in G and waiting for the opportunity to buy low and then wait for it to go up.
Just my .02. Good luck to all and pls don't follow me, I really don't know what i'm doing.

Hi guys... If you look at the TSP website's fund prices, you'll see that those months were consistent in getting positive returns. I also remember Pointman jumpin in last year around June/July timeframe during the downslide and pretty much caught up with all board leaders by staying in the S fund until around Nov/Dec timeframe.
As far as the saying "Get out in May and stay away" I think it should say "Get out in May and jump back in around Jul/Aug timeframe" ;-)
Pls be careful out there...
