Hmm. Here's a link to today's Financial Times article suggesting Bank of England likely to lower rates in Feb. or March. If this starts looking more probable, dollar will stay stronger vs. pound, and some of the currency adjustments in the I fund might not turn out so favorable.... It's never simple is it....

I accomplished my goal here. Bought in the I at 16.52 on Nov11. Selling today, should be around 17.75-17.80 if the dollar doesnt gain/lose too much. I don't WANT to get out of the I fund because I feel that the dollar is unstable and on a downward trend. But, I KNOW that there will be a selloff. I will look for a point of entry after the I fund loses around 2-2.5%. I have a knack for spotting the bottoms. Anyhow, good luck to all and I look forward to trading with you in 2006.

Well, no selloff. I will be moving to a different strategy between the I, G, and F funds. I will plan on selling off little bits on up days and reinvesting on downdays. Playing the middle game, I plan on holding around 40-50% I and juggling the rest. Basically, limiting my exposure near the tops and increasing my exposure near the bottom. I believe that by actively "playing" the oscillations of the market, not only do I have considerable less risk but, I may be able to grind out a few extra % by EOY. Will be following this strategy for a ffew months at least and then comparing to the buy/hold for I fund. Also, its actually fun to juggle the funds.

Re: Soldat Account Talk
Trashed my prior plan in Feb and have been holding 100% I for quite a while. Looking for twenty dollar shares this month.
Well, I elected to change my monthly contribution to F fund seeing as though it was around 10.61 low istead of buying the I at an alltime high...
So my contribution forced me into 4.5% F and 95.5% I
I'll be dropping the F into I on the first hint of international weakness. Not looking for a pullback, just a shallow respiration.

Re: Soldat Account Talk
Using the figures from TSP participant statement, and figuring into account my 2006 contributions and the share price as of Apr 21, my YTD return is 13.478%
Holding 100% I fund.
I hit the 20 dollar shares this month, as forecast. I will be canceling my contributions as of EOM because I will be deploying. I will use the tax free money to buy some ETFs such as EWC, EWZ, and a few others. I will then resume contributions of 50% pay when I return in order to defer that money. I see monday as another up-day for the I fund. The dollar is drying up.

Re: Soldat Account Talk
YTD returns
I fund +13.93%
S fund +10.76%
C fund +5.61%
F fund -0.85%
G fund +1.43%
F Fund will rebound in the next week or two off of CPI report showing inflation in March. I believe that $10.57 is the low, and that F fund will see 11 more cents in the next 2 weeks, regardless of the Fed's rate hike (which is more or less priced in). Next month's CPI will also show rising inflation due to oils. F fund will continue to gain, recovering from it's current deficit and gaining up to +2%.
The dollar is falling.
Trade safely.

Re: Soldat Account Talk
Hi Soldat,
Do you know why your figures have you at 13+% YTD, while Rokids schedule has you at 5.91%?
Is there a flaw in the tracking schedules they are using that we need to know about?
By the way, when I look at my participant's statements, I feel really good too! My earnings have been great. And that is what counts. What the statement says.
Thanks
Peaches
