WorkFE's Account Talk

I went 100% G Fund today, hope it stays steady at least, $1.56 on the upside if it holds. Sitting at +3.09% on the year, got no complaints.

In roughly 1 month, that 10% I Fund move went up $1.69 for a net gain of $2,889. Back in the G Fund now, we will see if the May rate changes enough for me to make another move.

Early, but maybe I dodged a bullet.
I'll settle in and take a break from the Markets. Its Derby week here in the Bluegrass State, time to get ready for the fastest 2 minutes in sports.

Looks like the G Fund will stay at 4.250% for the month of May.

Little bits of encouraging news moves markets. While I much rather days like today than the alternative I remind myself that the big three are still 4-5 % off the Dec-Feb highes.

Ouch, what did I miss. Target reported weak sales.

I saw a report that said that said fewer people were shopping at Target this last quarter because of their response to DEI. Of course you can't believe everything on the internet. But that's what I read.

20 year bond auction didn't go well. But pre-holiday excuse to pullback after the rally -- scheduled.

Market seems a bit warm. While I'm not making a mint, I'm fine with current returns. Maybe a June pull back will provide me another entry or the G Fund will force my hand.

Nothing on the June G Fund Rate yet, with futures down at the moment I sure would like to know before the noon cut off.

Treasuries only nudged a hair higher as of this morning from the close on Friday. https://www.cnbc.com/bonds/
With the 2, 3, and 5 year still in the 3% range, I wouldn't believe we're gonna get any significant rise to the upside.
At best, maybe it stays the same as the past 3 months. It's better than going down I guess. Fingers crossed.

 

[WorkFE]

I'm fine with the current rate, not terrible. It is my forced risk appetite barometer.

This is from tsp.gov: Aren't they usually equal?

Current TSP loan interest rate 4.250%

That is correct, I just haven't seen the June Rate published. The beginning of the Month fell on a weekend, probably won't get an update until this afternoon. I may have to follow James lead today.
