Don't listen to this guy. This is what the C-fund has done for the last 2 years.

Don't drink the cool aid.
Look at the discussions in the Short Term Fund Strategies and Longer Term Fund Strategies forums for recent discussions on bull vs Bear market strategy. I am a position investor who follows the business cycle to determine when and where to put my money. In a bear market I practice capital perservation where I move my money into G or F and have bi-weekly contributions going into stocks (small money). When the business cycle signals a bull market, I will invest aggressively in the stock market. There is a spreadsheet in my thread showing the backtest of this method to 1991 ( http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/showpost.php?p=171093&postcount=112 ). Whatever method you choose, Good Luck.

I'm 7.5 years out, and have been side tracked for quite a few years from watching my TSP (divorce, custody fight, marriage, custody fight, adopt baby, custody fight...), but am ready to start doing some research and try to follow the dang thing. I know the mantra "search first before asking the question", and have been doing that, but the problem is there is SO MUCH INFORMATION on this board, it gets a little overwhelming if you're coming from close to zero financial knowledge.
Can anyone just point me to a good thread or two explaining the basics of tracking, predicting, and moving (within the new guidelines) your money between the funds? I realize there's as many opinions as there are a--holes, I just want to spend a reasonable amount of time daily to nurse it in the right direction, not break any records. Most financial advisers I've dealt with aren't real interested in helping with your TSP, they want you to invest in their products.
Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance! I'll also keep reading!
