    I started fed service in 1993, They hand me this paper anid I filled it out putting in 5% to be matched. Let it go it did Ok in straight C fund for while, then c started falling and bailed (after a year) in the safety of the G fund. Well, last year I saw the new funds and notice thier gains and played a little. Told my boss, He said(I'm staying in G because it is secure).. A few month's later ran on to this site while try to find Thrift savings. I now have about three men from reynolds that pays attention to what the markets do and what you people on this site say. This is a vey good site and with your information, I have thought things out and have substantial gains from a year ago. I am not a % guru. I take my swags at it by what I've learned in this forum and research. I will tell you that If you want money, The G fund doesn't make much, not enough for me. I havent put in any in the last year. just played and made more than I could ever afford to put in. Thanks for ya'lls thought, charts, time, and sharing your intelligence. I'm simple, slow and usually quiet, but I do enjoy this, because it has made me lots more money. might be able to ride my horse down to tombstone and play music

    I USE G FUND AS A CUSHION, A SAFETY NET , BUT IN A WAY i CAN PLAY THE MARKET FAIRLY HARD. WITH 25% IN G I CAN STILL MAKE A LITTLE MONEY MOST OF THE TIME EVEN IF THERE IS A SMALL PULLBACK, I BELIEVE THAT IF THE MARKET TURNS I CAN JUMP INTO MY SAFETY NET IN TIME TO SAVE MYSELF, BUT IF IT FLY'S I WILL STILL MAKE GOOD MONEY, PLAYING HARD.


    i GUESS YOU COULD CALL IT A STRATEGY

    sometimes there is an opportunity to step completely out of the realm of safety and go for the big one. I believe now is that time, always look, listen, and learn. you will be as safe as you can be.
