The market

[prudence]

Hi everyone, I know it is probably late in the game to ask this question. I have my tsp funds divided up in the L fund C fund and S fund and I fund. Does it make sense to move some of my money into the G fund F fund because of the craziness of the stock market. Or should I ride it out in the event it straights out. I have been hearing different advices to not sell because I would lose more buying back at a higher price.

Thanks

stay in CSI. if you dont sell, you dont lose.

I use the "If it bothers me and I worry about it" method to determine how I allocate my funds. If the worry index goes up too high, I move into the G fund and occasionally use the F fund. Of course I have been mostly out of the market since Feb so as some would say I have missed alot of opportunities to make some money. But that can go both ways.

Keep your money fully invested and remember that the Markets have tumbled and gone through strains many times in the past.

We were long overdue for a MAJOR CORRECTION and in that sense what we're going through is exactly what we need to push forward to new and even more wonderful heights.

So shake your fears and concerns my friend and BELIEVE in the strength and endurance of the GLOBAL ECONOMY - for which the USA is heavily involved - and you will do well.

Profitability resides in the ride ahead - and if you are not in you won't win.

Not to beat a dead horse. but stay where you are at....We shall see some bounces over the next few weeks, but since you rode it down, just ride it back up!

Yes, it makes sense to be in G. It has made sense for months now. I am surprised people are only thinking about this now. For many months now, stock returns have been negative. Stocks now are lower than 10 years ago. Negative returns on a fund means you don't want to be in that fund.
