You are right. The I fund should do poorly especially since most European markets are hitting five year highs and the Nikkie is up so far this year. Please post your changes to your allocations...you have vast investing knowledge!!!!

Ross,

If you are in the stock funds...do not bail yet.

If the job report comes in good (it should they have the target down to 150K)...think about moving some of your S to I. If the job report comes in bad put your head between your legs and throw up...because we will may be down 10% in the C and 20% in the S fund. If the job report comes in bad then you want to move your I to the G fund because on Monday the I fund will get hammered.

The market should do well when the Pres is sworn in. I plan on selling into that and be in the G fund around 30 Jan (Iraq election) and then will go from there.

But do your own research and track what people are saying on this board. Find the people THAT MAKE YOU money and use their thought process to make investment decisions for yourself. Be careful of the people that are the naysayers and the one liner crowd...they basically are miserable people that will retire broke :^.

Hold and hope will not work this year.

He didn't say the I fund will do bad, he said a rising dollar is bad for the I fund - True.

Since I can't send email alerts during work hours, I make my transfer either the night before the deadline, or before 10:00 AM ET (8:00 AM my time).

If the 50 dma breaks then the next resistance point will be the 200dma...if that is broken then my target of 9900-10000 will come to past.

Hopefully me talking about it will cause the market to turn. Early to middle December the market was overlooking bad economic reports - that is very toppy very soon afterwards. But there has been a lot of damage and that will need time to fix before we see any gains. Once again the rotation is out of the small caps...so you may want to lighten up on the S fund on your next change.

'perma-bear syndrome"....buying stox and watching them make you money will cure this

did some shortingover the last few years...what a wonderful way to lose a lot of $$$$$$$$$ FAST.
