My charts are giving me a buy signal for the S fund today. But ... I dunno, I don't think we're done with the Greek thing yet. And today looks a little lackluster, so ... I'm gonna continue to sit in G today.

My chart had a SELL signal yesterday. Made some money and got out before noon yesterday. S Fund is back above the 50 and 20 day EMA.
There may be some gains the remainder of this week, but I doubt any positive 200 pt days from dow in near future. I think the Bears and Bulls are in reset mode trying to figure out what exactly happened in the last 2 weeks. Volume should be light unless some major news from Yellen, Mid East, Asia markets, Greeks, Germans
As of 08-28-2015 ....... 100% G Fund
On Friday, Ric Edelman reported on his radio program that the TSP had voted to make another fund available for investors. I believe he called it the "SIP" fund. Apparently it allows TSP investors to invest in various green programs. He also advised against doing so. Just passing along what I heard ...

Well, am getting conflicting signals on the S fund ... one of my charts says to buy, another says to wait and see. So I don't know. Ah, the joys of playing around with a system.
Anyway, that's the latest ...

My God ... the freefall continues. Best place to be is probably the F fund but G ain't bad either. Wow.

Several years ago, I got into an interesting discussion with another "TSP Talkster" ... I believe his name was Father Felse. He was from someplace in South Carolina down around Clemson.
Anyway, he had an interesting approach to tracking and fitting numbers to the TSP fund data. Rather than using each trading day as a point, he was using calendar days. Let me see if I
can explain. Earlier this week, we had a TSP holiday: Martin Luther King day. So his price chart ( for the S fund ) looked like this:

Whereas if you used a data point for each TRADING day, the chart looks like this:

Concentrate on the lower right of the charts. You'll see that using calendar days for your data points adds a calming influence on the charts - big swings taking place over the weekends or holidays are leveled out somewhat.
Which idea is correct? I dunno ... I think an argument can be made for both methods. But here's the salient point of this discussion ...
If you use the Calendar Days method, the S fund is signaling a BUY status, meaning it might be time to get back in. If you use the Trading Days method, the S-fund is signaling an ALERT ... meaning a change is possible.
