Hi SBG, You likely already know this but in case you don't, you can call TSP to make a change and you do not need a PIN number. Just call 1-TSP-YOU-FRST. (1-877-968-3778). Option 3.
Then talk to person, give them your 13 digit account number. They ask a few identifying questions and that is it! IFT presto!

I have TSP phone # set up as a Contact on my android and have my acct # noted so I can make a move even when I'm on the go.

Best Wishes to you and Everyone on Investments!!!!!!!! :smile:

Been in meetings all day for the last 2 days. Havent been close to a computer to eject. Go ahead and do it now or ride it for another day? I will be on the road all day tomorrow. Decisions, decisions, decisions.......

Well, I went with a gut feeling. IFT COB today 25C, 25S. We are bouncing around some resistance. There are a lot of people wanting to jump in. I went ahead and did it. I dont plan on staying in long, maybe to the end of the week. A 2.5% increase will put me dead even for the year. Hopefully today will break the resistance and we will go up tomorrow.
 
Well, we are bumping against more resistance. I will IFT out either today or tomorrow. There are some nice gaps opened up down. A lot of people are saying we will drop to the 1870 area before a climb again. My finger is on the eject button. I have already used my 2 IFTs this month, so the only thing I can do is go to G and sit until March. 1.3% increase average between S and C will put me even for the year. I failed to eject at the end of December and rode it down a good bit before I bailed. I gotta recover.
 
Finger on the trigger to bail. Some of yall (a lot smarter than me) keep saying the rally isnt done yet, just taking a breath. My gut says to cut bait and bail. If I bail, Im done for the month.

Should I stay, or should I go now.......

Just remember, no one can call the market moves every time, there are a lot of people on this site that are very good at identifying patterns and have a great understanding of fundamental market analysis (I'm not one of them), but the market has a mind of its own. Case in point, last Thursday I went in (albeit a small amount 40%) when almost everyone was saying that the market was going to drop big time over the holiday weekend, but I went in because I had a gut feeling and it worked out well. Anyway, my point is to read and learn what you can, but make your own decisions because it is your money. Also, don't forget it doesn't have to be all or nothing, you can limit risk exposure by going in partially, or getting out partially. It will limit your ability to make the big gains when the market jumps up, but it will also limit your losses if the market tanks, then if you feel it's the right time, you can put the rest in (at a lower cost) and dollar cost average.

I read almost everybody's posts and make my decisions based on 50% gut feeling, and 50% on what others tend to do. With this crazy volitility, I have only been going in 50%. Hopefully today finishes at least flat so I can keep what I made yesterday.
 
IFT COB today 40% S, 10% C. I would like to see today close kinda flat as the market takes a breath, then climb like I have missed. Should have never gotten out on the 18th. Hindsight is 20/20.
 
GO BABY GO! Can we get a close over 2021? Rally to the end!!!!!

Still in 40% S, 10% C. Probably will stay in until at least Tuesday. Finger will be on the eject button when the FED talks. Well see. Hopefully JTH is right and we can fill that gap at 2040. It will be up to the FED though.
 
Thats a very good allocation. I'll be ready to hit the eject as well.

Best wishes to you and everyone on.your investments !!!!!! :smile:
 
What was that sudden dive at the end of the day about? SPX, SPY, DWCPF, and Nasdaq all show it as well as a spike in the VIX at the same time. This scares me for the premarket and tomorrow's open. Finger on the eject button.

Good thing is tomorrow, about 5 guys I enlisted get back from deployment. I'm going to see them when they get off the bus.

I saw that as well, didn't see any corresponding events at the time. Futures are down, will see how the market reacts to the reports that hit today.
 
Why is it that every time there is a rumor of oil output cap, the markets get excited. This is like the 10th time this year and no results. It's time the market stops paying attention to the rumors.
 
SBG: My guess is that oil has become the new QE4 program and I don't expect it to stop until next fall at the earliest. Just a theory.

IFT to 25%S, 25%F, 50%G COB today. Wish I made the move 2 days ago. Hopefully S will close above the 200 and keep going for a few days.
 
Looks like everything is jumping off a cliff so far this morning. Still thinking about punching out of the S fund. Move to 75%G, 25%F. Not sure yet, this just may be some consolidation that we need to push a little higher. VIX is up, DWCPF is down .8%. Don't want to go out on a down day, but don't want to keep watching it fall either. Decisions, decisions, decisions......
