GDP revision came in pretty poor this morning. That may help keep Fed from raising rates. Labor report next Friday will also be important. I think some deal or extension will once again be worked out for Greece because every other option is much worse, and it will always be this way.
Even with the GDP revision the market is trying to get back to flat on the day. I thought about moving to the F/G funds before the deadline yesterday, but everything I looked at said any dips will be small for another 3-6 weeks so I might as well stay in the S.

I was thinking about doing the same thing by using the calculator in the "Utilities" menu found on the home page. You can put the opening price on day one as your starting point, add in your allocation and any changes as they occur and close it out on the last day of the month...Seems logical.:smile:
Your thoughts?
I will have to try that out this weekend. Hoping for a nice rebound for us all Monday. Looks like losses weren't to bad today as they could have been.

So I downloaded the TSPTalk Returns Calculator, saved it to my hard drive and renamed it Monthly Returns Calculator. Then in the box right below the "End Date" header, I changed that box to read Last month. I then entered the prices from the TSP website as of 30 Apr 2015. This was my starting prices.
From May 1st through May 22nd I was 100% S Fund, so I entered that information and the closing price from the TSP website as of COB May 22nd as my first transaction. This netted me a gain of+2.53%.
From May 26th through May 27th I submitted my first IFT for May transferring 100% to the G Fund, entered the information and netted a gain of 0.03% which raised my total gain for May to + 2.56%.
From May 28th to the end of the month, I submitted my second IFT for May transferring 50% to the S Fund and 50% to the I Fund. I then entered the information and netted a loss of -0.75%
So my total for the month of May was +1.80%. Not as good as if I would have left it in the G Fund, but not to shabby.
With that said, I begin June invested 50% in the S Fund and 50% in the I Fund and my starting prices will be what is posted at the TSP website on the last day of May.
Hopefully you find this info helpful and good luck with your trades.
Market looking okay today so far. I've read a few articles online today about market correction in the late summer/ early fall. Can some one give me some advice on what to look for so I can prepare before the correction? Or is it just really a surprise when it happens? Will we have like a big big drop day then another one?

I've read your post. Newton said 2060...lights out, not 2015.?

Also, someone recently posted about a June 3rd (today) top before the crash.

Go market go
So if we "sell high" then I guess I should run after today lol. However I think we could be in for another good day tomorrow if Greece news is good.
And don't forget, the jobs report comes out tomorrow as well.

Darn. Your right guess it could be a break even day then :/. I though the job report was leaning towards being good news?
Think I am just staying as is. 50-G, 20-S, 20-I with 10-C. The 11 o clock hr seems to show a bit of a pull back. So not gonna move all to G yet. Still hoping we end on a good note tomorrow or Friday. Be nice to have two good day's high. Figure the job report might cause the market to have a stagnant day and the Greece news should pick it back up. I hope lol
No IFT transfer today. Gonna stay as is even thought I lost gains yesterday. Hoping we go up tomorrow"buy low" right lol. Hoping we rebound and Greece news and job report surprise us all and we go up 200 points. Might IFT to G fund or at least 70-80 to G and ride out rest of June a bit more conservative. If I do an L fund soon I don't know if i could stomach the leaving alone strategy lol. Part of me says to wait until the rate increase or the bull market ends before I do.
