Pretty quite in hear today. Just like the market, lol. Hey, looks like we're gonna have another "up" day in the S fund though. :^Just a littleeeeeeeee bit more and I may pull back for awhile. Maybe not..............:u

It's because most folksare not agressively invested.:P

Not much tobrag about when you're not fully invested ona greenday.

I been 85% vested in 20% C, 40% S, 20%I mostly in S fund and 15 % in F fund since 13 Aug gains have been great!

been trying a new system out since Aug 1st I try to explain and you guys can shoot it full of holes

rule 1: Based on the highs for the last 12 mo

highs in F,C,S, I are 10.30, 12.15, 13.51, and 13.70

today's close total off highs down .49, 3.46, 7.18, and 4.16 =15.29 total

.49/ .1529=3.20%, in Fund, 3.46/.1529=22.63% in C fund and so on-----rounding of to closest whole %

rule 2: total close fall between 15.00 to 20.00 vest 100%, 10.00 to 15.00 vest 75% and vest 25% less for every 5.00 drop visversa

rule 3: adjust each fund when difference is off by 5.00 or more adjust half the total

if Monday is a green day I will be moving below 15% total and hide 25% in G Fund

GTO

I had a 65 GTO, 4-speed 3-2s, it was a dang good little car. I miss those cars.

I kind of understand your math. I am in the G fund if the 15 day moving avg (MA) crosses through deteriorating prices. Conversely, I go C-S-I when prices increase and the MA curves back up. I portion the funds in relation to the 10-15 days returns reported by TSPMoney, which now figures 35-45-20. For the big picture I monitor the $SPX at stockcharts.com. And, listen to the conversations on this site.

In 2003 and early 04 I looked at the market weekly. Now I have to look atit almost daily. Tom (tsptalk) had a chart that showed the market going up the 3-4Q during presidential elect years (archieve comments 08-18-04). And, if a lid can be kept on the oilsituation, hopefully this can be a good year.

Have a good day GTO!
