Thread: What or where does the "G" money go?

cowboy wrote:

Currently I am setting in the G fund but tomorrow or the next day I may be in a different fund. Conserving capital mostly this year so far. May get in on the dip today some, depending on what I feel is happening. If I do get in i'll probably play it short though. Good luck to you! One thing about the market, one day you feel like your the smartest person in the world the next day you may lose all of your braincells. I Fund may go up today, C&S down may be a good time to get in. If all three go down then I may watch another day. Every day is an opportunity. Take care.

Hello all:

I'm new to this as of 10 minutes ago. A government employee that is concerned about the future. Since last December, allocated 20% in each fund. Gained and loss here and there. (In need of a positive plan of action)Everything is now sitting in the G fund until further notice. Any positive /logical thoughts-Asante11

Asantel 1,

Read some of my posts for the simple solution. Then work your way backwards for more complicated views on trading . Good luck. Dennis

I would welcome you to this forum, but I amthe second most hated person here. So I leave that I someone inbetter standing.

I'm in the same boat as you. I believe there times to be in the market and there are times to be out. Hind-sight being 20-20, it would appear to be a no-brainier as to when to be in/out. But a stock/fund is worth exactly what it is selling at the time, with risks and potential benefits already built-in.

The last 2 months has had wild-swings even within each day's trading. Tsp_go appears to have a good 10/5/5 system that would have you in the market when it is steadily&moderately going up and out when it is steadily going down. Lately, the market's has not had consistent trend and the wild swings have triggered wild buy/sells.

I was 100% in stocks in last fall's rally and still in at New Years and lost 3.5% on Jan 3/4 but stayed in until mid-March at it's peak. ThenMT's rants seemed to ring true to me and went 100%G and avoided the recent drop.

Last week could have been the beginning of a new rally and we missed out on getting back in on April 20th when the S&P was at 1137. I personally don't think that the S&P500 will go above 1190 until October. So I'm planning to staying in G-fund; sometimes playing 10 or 20% on the swings.

The Simple solution.....

I conducted a search but it took me to your response to me.

A novice at this point but soon to be an expert.

Is there a fatser way to obtain such information- Asante11

What you can do is watch what everyone else does with the various market conditions. See what funds they are in and why. Almost everyone here likes to share information. Then you can start manipulating your portfolio. As stated before, it would be good to backtrack other members intrafund transfers and see what market conditions warranted their transfers.

Bottom line is that there is no easy way to do this that I'm aware of.
