    Looks like it could be the 27th or 28th for the next increase....

    Crystal ball................:^

    Actually I'm taking the rate of last month's 10yr bond and adding the difference between the 3yr and 5yr bond. I then divide by 365 to get the daily rate for the G fund. Once it goes up another penny, cha-ching.

    Not sure if it works correctly yet or not. Still a work in progress. But you asked for it.

    I mearly take the going rate of increasefrom the recent 50 days...its close but it still is hard to make certain which day they chose.....I also use a plot of ghe G fund increase to get a visual to speculate.

    I'm figuring the 8th for the next increase.....actually I've got data that predicts the 7th, but its on the weekend....

    Trend is the G-curve is finishing a hump and needs to come balance with the average....expecting to trend shorter and shorter days toget the next increase....so expect shorter days between increases over the next several months.........:^

    Has anyone done the research to see if getting the penny (even perfectly timed) would return greater gains than being in an even mix of C,S & I?

    Yeah, I just did that calculation....

    With the CSI evenly distributed 33.33% since March, it outperformed the G 5.57% to 4.28%....I don't have any data before that at the moment....

    Most of that gain came in the run up of C and S in July.....if it wasn't for that rise, where would we be.....
