Duty Calls and naps at this age are a must. Both the (C) and the (S) are
in positive territory at this moment and one can only hope this hold true
at 4pm. The (I) Funders might see better results then the EFA is showing
today. Remember, there was room to add to the debt. Good Luck
to all members and I'll be back to check the share prices and update the
infamous O/D Tracker.

Dollar is doing good but with Barclay's "mystery formula" there's no telling how the I Fund will fare - it all depends on their bottom line...not ours.

Taking some profits off the table might not be such a bad idea.

For those of you who've been following this thing, I'm starting to
lean towards believing that Barclays Overpayment Goal has been
adjusted to the "Black" medium area of the key. Thus the "wink"
face I've placed next to todays results. Since late June, I've made
a few adjustments to bring us back to reality. The "Green" area
was only hit once since the change to the Overpayment side. So
another adjustment (a final one) appears to be in the cards. If
this holds true, the "Black" will become the (Goal Met Area). The
(I) Fund paid off a small amount of debt today, which kept the
O/D Tracker in the Black area. If the above is accurate and we
see a up day in Europe, the dollar decline and the ECB pleases,
the (I) Fund can add to the debt area and outperform the EFA.
That could mean some $$$$cha-ching$$$$ for those in the (I).

No Baby Ruths in the Pool JTH, I made a last minute (gut reaction)
attempt at 11:59am to do a IFT back to the (G). Alas, I was too slow
and couldn't get it through. I'll take things one day at a time as we
crossed the 1290 area (intraday) and hope to see 1320. Maybe a small
portion will come off tomarrow, no matter what !

Duty Calls, I'll be back late tonight to catch up on some reading !

I believe the 2 IFT restrictions have endangered our ability to protect our assets. I too would take profits based on Technical Analysis (TA). Corepuncher has a middle of the road solution, that is, to take 30, 40 or 50 Percent to the G fund, keeping the other at risk, but invested in the stock funds with the possibility that TA is correct and that signals such as those of the P&F chart discussed by L2R and James might take us up somewhere near 1380 at some point. No guarantees, of course!

I saw that!

I heard 1380 from someone on TV...others say 1350. I've always had the target of 1320 and I think I'd be nearly all out by then.

The "ascending triangle" is most definately exciting. But I'm
paying a little more attention to the "caution" he added to
his marvelous Commentary. I'm starting to hestitate a bit.
Before, I would jump out at the first sign of trouble. As a
result, I missed a 5.54% gain. Now I hesitate jumping out.
I just hope I don't end up losing 5.54% in retrospect.

 

[Corepuncher]

I'll be happy if we don't drift down all day, but maybe just the first half , then stabilize. Today is gonna be a test BIGTIME. All the news is bad it seems. Lets see how bad the market wants this rally.

US Futures Take A Hit

European central banks hold rates (unchanged)

Claims for unemployment insurance at 6 year high

Layoff filings worse than expected.

The Bulls surprised us "big time" yesterday. But I'm expecting the Bull
to be at the beach, sipping on a Margarita until Monday. The next two
days will tell alot. I'm also watching the Volume of each day.

First Half Profit Loss of 34% (Guess Who)
BARCLAYS​

 

[Guest2]

Europe is still showing some green. Japan closes down.
The (I) Funders need some help right about now. I just
don't know if there's a strong enough catalyst to pull
the Fund out of negative territory. Of coarse, this is a
gut feeling prior to the opening and I hope I'm wrong.
It just feels like a down day and a payback of debt on
top of it. I wish I could find a reason to get excited for
the (I) Funders. Its been a long and dragged out battle.

 

[Gumby]

the (I) Funders. Its been a long and dragged out battle.

Yes, it has been a battle. I don't see this fund making a huge move upward with the strengthening dollar.

 

[Guest2]

Very strong deterant. The dollar is rebounding well so far.
European stocks are having to deal with US economic jet
lag too. The (I) Fund is is the highest risk fund we have.
Greater Losses YTD, Great Gains YTD. In a volital market
which exists, the (I) Fund is not the easiest to grasp onto.

First Half Profit Loss of 34% (Guess Who)


BARCLAYS​

Restrict IFT's = TSP loses money = Barclays loses money; our TSP billions are one of their major income-producers. IMO they get what they deserve - they shot themselves in the foot with the FRTIB "rescue." The bad thing is they're going to take more FV off the table...and we're seeing that already.
