Compared to last week, the CSI Funds are starting to go green on the 5-day timeframe while the F-Fund has turned red. An interesting tidbit, over the course of the past 30 days (perhaps longer) the F-Fund has had a fairly consistent inverse relationship to the CSI Funds. Meaning F-Fund up = CSI Funds down This is not always the case but for moment it appears to be, we should take it as a clue as to the prevailing direction of the price action. Also, we should notice the I-Fund has been holding up well, is this the year of the I-Fund? I haven't a clue, that I-Fund is an animal all to its own...

We can see the recent pullback affecting the price performance of the funds. I must say (hint hint) the F-Fund has done a great job this year in performing inverse to the S&P 500.

Over the past 20 days the S-Fund is down -4.73%

JTH, does the chart mean a strong possibility of you using 2nd IFT for next week ?? And maybe the I-Fund...

Honestly, I don't trade based on the TSP Funds price performance, I tend to just stick with the G&S funds regardless of how the other funds are performing. Occasionally I'll use the F-Fund if feels right, as for the I-Fund, I detest it. There's just too many factors in the I-Fund to make it a predictable fund for me to trade. For my next IFT, I'll start forming a plan tonight, once the beer kicks in...

Seasonality suggests tomorrow (Monday) could be a good opportunity to buy in and hold for about 2 weeks.

Going into the week of 7-11 April, the I-Fund wins in the short-term with a 5-day gain of .88% and a 10-day gain of 3.06%

Navigate like you're playing Battleship, in this example the S-Fund lost -2.48% over the past 5 days.

Nice! Thanks for clearing that up.

JTH,

Don't mean to sound like a dummy, but could you explain how to read this chart? I'm confused.

I'm dedicating these stats to their own thread so we can see the differences side by side, from week to week.

I didn't notice it until now but we can see the I-Fund is leading the pack in the short-term and the S-Fund took the brunt of the recent pullback.
