I respect all the opinions here and I still have 2 IFT's. If the market spike tomorrow I will wait to see what happens Tuesday.
I know we are limited here between the C Fund and the S Fund.
The F Fund is done for a long long time and it's already up to 3.93% as I post. I fell terrible for those in the F Fund as I myself thought Freddie and Fannie would be at least a month away.
Well I see the futures are up across the board I don't know how long that will hold tomorrow just trying to figure where to go in the TSP.
All the L Funds are officially done and how the TSP tries to rebalance them will be a joke.
The I Fund is such a tough call and it cost me so much that I just can't put anything there.
So we are left with either the C Fund or the S Fund in my opinion and then chasing a penny over 5 days in the G Fund.
I have never claimed to be even close to an expert here but going long 100% which Fund will perform better in this "New Era" the small caps S Fund or the C Fund. I would love to hear any thoughts on this.
Since this wasn't a complete takeover and Fannie & Freddie will be open tomorrow how does this change where we invest. This is a new game it was tough enough trying to figure the old game but I look at folks in the F Fund that didn't see this coming except the big boys that got word on Friday around 11:00 AM EST. In my opinion that was inside trading !!!
I was also looking to see if they would lower interest rates but they didn't completely take them over as was reported.

Well, I'm no expert but I do try to stay in the bubble that I think I know. I do NOT know the F fund and have been punished trying to time it. I don't even look at it anymore.
I Fund is very shaky right now. Dollar getting stronger and slowing economies overseas. Double whammy! That's why it is down so bad this year.
S Fund is broad U.S. market minus the largest 500 companies or the S&P 500. It can lead or lag the C Fund. I don't play it now, but might in the future.
C Fund is all I play in the TSP dungeon, with only two IFT's a month. Look for a promising chart set up and then I go for it. It sucks with only two IFT's but it can be done.
My trading style, I bunny hop from C to G and that is it. Right now I am sitting in a very comfortable entry point and I have no idea how it will play out. From a chartist view point Fridays candlestick was a beautiful bottoming tail, but we need conformation to close the deal. Upside target is IMO could be 1300 and as high as 1325. 1300 could come hard and fast.
This is what I do for myself and my not fit you style of investing/trading.
My best advice for a novice TSP investor is to DCA into this bottoming market while keeping a reserve in the G fund. Use the contributions to do the DCA and keep the bulk in G fund until this all shakes out.
Good luck!

I think as long as the financials are rallying, the C fund will be where it's at. Also, look how the S fund has gone down much more than the C fund over the last few days when we had bad economic data. I assume that kind of data will continue for sometime, therefore I vote for "C".

Some of the commentary that I am reading/hearing from people much smarter than me is that the dollar should get weaker with all of the bailing out of FRE and FNM. Will hold my SLV for now.
C fund will have a tremendous upside move but can it hold it. The 200 dma would be the upper end of this gov. bailout run up, IMO. That is 1350. Do I have the balls to hold that long?
I let you know before the deadline.:nuts:

1350 would also be my target. I don't think I can hold that long either. I just don't trust this market and one day does not make a trend. Right now I'm thinking of leaving 25% in the C/S. Four hours to decide.

THX for the information I could be too late if we hit 1300 today imagine if I was short and was in the C Fund I would take the gains and move 25% back to G. But that is me and what do I know I am sitting in the G and will jump in the problem is the buy low sell high. I will be buying high hoping to go higher in the C Fund

Thanks CP I will be going with the C. Wow it looks like the I Fund is going to have a good/huge day. Good for the folks that stayed in the I but where does it go tomorrow ?
I still think this could drop in a second now Oil is going up it is the big black hole of hell.

Show-Me,
With SKF trading below 100 this morning, I picked some up at $97.25. Just sold it at 108 - a nice 11% pop. Wish I had put in more and I was thinking of holding on to it longer, but I remember your advice about pigs getting slaughtered....

Thanks, Show-Me. you showed me the way with this fund, I'll continue to keep my eye on it. I've yet to figure what makes this fund tick, but it seemed clear it was trading low. Gotta keep remembering - little bites, little bites...WOW, Well done!!!
