Made a IFT today went 80-G, kept 10-S and 10-I figure market due for some correction and I want to keep some of these gains this month after how weird it's been. Afraid correction will occur next week and probably get some gains back late in the week or middle therefore I now can say I made a bit this month lol. Will stick with this distribution until next month that way if the market pops I will get something from being in those funds I hope and I won't lose as much.

whoo hoo I'm learning how this works lol. Cookie break time!!!! Lol
 
Happy Apr 1:

so so new month and new inter fund transfers lol. Right now thinking I will stay like I am 80-G and 10-S and 10-I. Thinking of investing more the next time the market looks like it goes and dips. Then I might move use the 2nd IFT and do 50-G, and Devide the rest up during the month. How does April usually go for the markets? Read online that once tax day passes on the 15th the markets should have a nice rebound.
 
Question


Okay so the job report is due Friday so I am thinking the market probably will flop like it is today a bit and tomorrow maybe be stagnant. However Friday I am thinking it will go up to end the week. Anyone thinking this too? And with the markets closing some markets for Good Friday does this mean gains will not post till next Monday?
 
Okay

So with futures looking bad today, does this mean that this is the classic by low strategy and tomorrow we could see an good return?

I went back into the market by COB Thursday anyway so that IS what I am counting on. I expect losses today, possibly as bad as 1.5% in S Fund (sigh, again) and truly hope for a turn around after that. So yes, I would suspect that a smart person (not me), if they were to buy in, it would be after today's blood letting.

It's the Market. If you figure it out, let the rest of us in on it! :smile:

lol.

yep I don't know what this market is doing now today it is up lol. It's like bad news is good and good news is bad? Lol will hold off on IFT till the next down day.
 
Happy Friday everyone. So stocks are low this morning and I still have two IFT for the month. Is this the classic case of buy low and should we expect a big rebound on Monday? Thinking of going 50% in S, anyone think this is the start of something like the correction the media talks about?
 
The market is simply resetting the charts for the next move through SPX 2119. The key remains interest rates.
 
Well

think I will stay as is and reevaluate Monday. Lots of media sites say Monday could be interesting. If Monday is bad might go in on Tuesday.

Then if it goes up hopefully I will get back today's losses and still have the two IFT to play with in the month.


everyone enjoy the weekend
 
I'm hoping and hearing that last week was just a mild downer week and things will pick up to finish off April with decent gains.
 
Morning everyone

Looks like everything is down again. Have one IFT I'm thinking of using tomorrow. Maybe going 25 in c and 25 in i. Might add 25 to S, but s fund is going down the last two days so I am worried about that. Then plan on Thursday to move all into maybe G or do a small bit in each of the c,s, I since people seem to worry about may.
 
Good Morning

Stocks set for rebound hopefully today. Thinking of doing an IFT transfer tomorrow. Saw on some news sites that some new jobs were added and hope to catch that rebound Friday. Let's end the week bullish :)
 
Here is hoping we rebound today. However futures show lower . Thinking of doing that IFT today since we have had 3 days in the neg, have to think we end tomorrow on a good note.
 
Well I didn't Act yesterday when I knew I should have so being afraid caused me to stick with 10-G, S-10 and 10-C. I wish I did. Now trying to decide to pull out before noon and go 100 in G fund and save my last IFT transfer for when the market goes down again.

If I am reading this correctly you are going to use your 2nd IFT to go into the G-fund and then jump back in with your 3rd? If that is the case you won't be able to do that. Your last (3rd) IFT can only be used to jump into the G-Fund.

No no. I still have two available. I would save the 2nd one till the market goes down. I'm scared May could be a weird month and would hate to lose the gains today even if I don't make much. Figured I do another IFT maybe Week of 18th of May.


figure June will be a good month I hope.
 
Did an IFT, went 100% G fund. Sell high right? Worried stocks might give back the gains made Monday and don't want that after what I little gains I make today.


Gonna hold the final IFT for month till the market goes down again then might go 25-C, 20-I, and 20-S, or might try 100% in the L2040 since it makes more than I do per my 12-mth percentage.Or might go back to 10-c, 10-s and 10-i.


My question is on is all you who do say 100-S or 100-C how do you stomach it when the market goes down and you lose say 5K or more at once. I'd be scared I would check out of market then miss the rebound but then worried that I might lose more if I don't jump out. Maybe the L2040 is a better bet for me now at least it makes 4% so far this year.


Also are there any graphs or sites I can look at to see how best to predicted what tomorrow brings? Might have asked this already so forgive me.


Have a great weekend.
