. It looks bad but for October, the I fund is up 14 cents, while the C and S are up 8 and 6 cents respectively.




Where did you get these figures? On Oct 1st C fund-$12.00------Oct 12 close was $11.90 UP? .08 cents Please explain

Oct 1st S fund $13.18------ Oct 12 close $13.04

Oct 1st I fund $13.62--------Oct 12 close $13.58

If you think you are making money with these numbers and you really are then you need to be a financial planner. Your stream of business would be non-stop.

Anyway what gives with the comments.

And ignoring the F fund at this time I think is foolish.

I'm gonna give it one more day to correct. If after opening tomorrow, the market continues a decline, I will retreat to the G fund.

I got yer back. Look at September 30th closing prices. Last I looked, October 1st was still part of October. o

Way to go, Tom.

(Ironically, the prices at the close of the 13th are close to where they were on the 30th for S and C )

It looks to me like in most years there is a big down day or two in the first part of October then an uptrend to the end of the year. If it's true this year we should start up any day. Got my fingers crossed. 50% S 50% I.

I guess I'll leave it as is......too much loss now. Keeping fingers crossed.

No, changed mind.....taking M's advise and moving all to F. Stocks dropping into toilet. 2 month low. Sinking ships....rats running :shock:

Certaintainly a little demoralizing for us invested. Congrats to those who stepped aside. Looks like the S&P wants to test the 200-day EMA again near 1100. Not quiteat 2 month low on S&P yet. We are approaching the late September low quickly however.

New sentiment numbers - 48% bulls, 28% bears. Better than last week but still may be not good enough for a turnaround. Another day or two like today should do it. We are getting oversold again in the short term.

This is what chaps my rear... I'm out the entire month of Sep. Then when I saw the market rallying a week or so ago, I decided to jump in so I wouldn't miss any gains.

But at the same time, I'm thinking, "You watch, once you get in things will go down hill!"

Sure enough!!!

I hate "Murphy's Law"!!!:s

Shouldda stayed G, or I should have at least waited until a couple red days in a row to buy low.

I don't care WHAT historical charts say from now on because lately they have been proven wrong time and time again. I'm going morewith my GUT from here on.

Yes, Dakota, that is correct. The various funds of TSP are explained on the home page of tsptalk under "The Funds".

Ouch :shock:. I agree that historical data is flakey at best, but to be successful you have to ignore your gutand trust yourinstrument panel, as they say. I use psychology, valuation and monetary conditions. Nothing is going to call every short term more. But you have to have an idea of where the next major move is going and have a bias toward that until your indicators tell you otherwise.

Sentiment is a strong contrarian indicator because of those irrational "gut" feelings.

I agree. I've found that I should usually do the opposite of what my gut says. Probably because everyone else is thinking the same way.

Gut feelings is played out using emotion playing the stock market. This is not a good thing.for example, "falling in love with a stock, falling in hate with a stock". Technicals and good old fashion DD work best for me. For TSP related info, technicals and this forum seem to be the best IMO.
