TSP Talk AutoTracker Member MacDaddy holds a 14.71% return for November with one week of trading remaining. The 11.13% gain in the S-fund this month has fueled MacDaddy's fresh capital, and a brief yet timely move to cash (G-fund) distinguished them from the TSP funds and the other TSP Talk AutoTracker investors.
MacDaddy started the month in S-fund, jumping in on the last day of October. The S-fund price quickly jumped higher in early November, enriching all of its investors. MacDaddy traded their S-fund shares for G-fund shares on the first down day of the month. Those losses accumulated over the next three days when MacDaddy rebought the S-fund shares at a 2.59% lower price than they sold them a few days prior. MacDaddy has remained fully invested in the S-fund since.
MacDaddy is not alone in outmaneuvering the S-fund this month. Seven other TSP Talk AutoTracker members also hold better returns than the S-fund with a week remaining this month. Four are fully invested in stock funds (mostly the S-fund). Three hold 100% G-fund (cash) with no IFTs until December.
I encourage you to start your own TSP Talk AutoTracker account. It is free and quick to sign up. Start an account this week and set their current TSP allocation to be eligible for the Amazon gift card prizes in the December Monthly Return Contest and the 2025 Return Contest.
The week ahead holds the Thanksgiving holiday. This week tends to be controlled by the bulls, who've had control for most of the month. However investors may be cautious after some pressure was put on the stock prices of Alphabet and Nvidia last week. These two giants are significant slices of the C-fund and are capable of steering market trends. Alphabet is being pressured to sell its Chrome browser and search engine data by the Justice Department. Nvidia's stock price may be venturing too far from reality after their latest earnings report wasn't grandiose enough for some last week.
Most of the top 300 members in the 2024 TSP Talk AutoTracker standings are holding stock funds right now. Only seven of those top 300 hold only the G-fund or F-fund without any stock funds (C, S, and I). Being bullish has rewarded these members so far this year. Will that continue into the last month of the year?
Thank you for reading and I hope the market is on your side this week.
