Is today a buying opportunity, start of a leg down or a head fake?
Love me some Mondays.

 

[WorkFE]

Bleeding slowed down into the close.

 

[WorkFE]

Keep waiting for the news release to hammer us.
If my WMT and KR keep up this pace all year I may have to rethink my retirement plans.

Nothing official on the G Fund rate yet but the expectation is that the February 2025 rate will remain unchanged at 4.625%.

I clawed back most of my I Fund losses from Monday, still a bit short. Still nothing official on the February G Fund rate.
Pretty full calendar of speaking engagements, some pre-noon and some in the evening. They have a habit of goosing or spooking the markets.
Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin- TV appearance at 07:30 and a speaking engagement at 0900.
Chicago Fed President Goolsbee speaks at 1300
Fed Governor Michelle Bowman speaks at 1500
Fed Vice Chairman Philip Jefferson speaks at 1930. Should be past his bedtime.

I made up some ground with the I Fund yesterday, closing in on my 44.00 target.

As Epic pointed out, the G Fund will stay at 4.625% for February. Definitely makes decision making easier.
Hoping the I Fund pushes up at COB, would like to retreat to the G for Superbowl Weekend.

OUCH

Oh so close to my target. Go Eagles

 

[WorkFE]

I fund finished up today, getting smacked around in after hours though.

 

[WorkFE]

And at 0900, Futures crater

 

[WorkFE]

I Fund might hit my target today. Contemplated retreating to100% G Fund today but got sidetracked. Hate when that happens.
So, we let it ride.

 

[WorkFE]

I fund on fire the first 6 weeks of the year.

 

[WorkFE]

Blew past my $44.00 target for the I Fund. Should I stay or should I go.
Been good to me so far, already met my quarterly target and premarket looks like a possible friendly exit.

Hopefully I don't start a stampede.
With markets closed on Monday and having met my self-imposed I Fund Sell mark; I am going 100% G at COB today.

Years ago I took extreme risk in hopes of nice rewards which could be an income driver in my older years. Everybodies strategies are different depending on their current and future financial workings. I won't bore you with my particulars but suffice it to say there was good reason for my risk taking. I still take small swings now and then but I'm not a risk taker anymore. I have a simple philosophy; beat CD's, savings, G Fund etc. 7% is my goal and I've consistently hit my mark the last 6 years. Do I miss the big return hunt? Yes. But not the anxiety. Good luck all.

I have been the same as you since I’ve retired and roughly have the same goals, but I regret being that way the first year I retired, which was 2021. Though I was happy with my returns that year, it seemed like everyone around me was hitting the lottery.

FOMO doesn’t go away when you’re a retiree. It is hard to resist.

I may have jumped off the I Fund train a bit early.

Hanging tough, might have missed out on a decent gain if it holds.

By withdrawing my small I Fund Position and going 100% G Fund, I left a little meat on the bone yesterday. Still feel good about my move for now. I am cautiously bullish on the I Fund this year and at least for the foreseeable future it will be my fund of choice unless we get a meaningful pullback.
