    So LMBF says to not follow it in 2015?

    Yes, 2015 was a big let down. That is why I don't think anyone is still following it in 2016 even with its comeback.

    If anyone out there is still following this system please post a reply here to let us know.

    Wow, our methods are really on fire this year. They are close to all making up for last years big loss. Will this continue through the Summer months? We'll have to wait and see. As for now you can see that our methods are still in the top ten on the AutoTracker. Don't get too excited. There is only one direction to go from the top.

    Notice that we are finally getting some divergence as CI>S remained in the S Fund this month instead of following most of the heard into the I Fund and SIM will now be in the F Fund through October. We'll have to see which one made the better choice.

    Here is the monthly return as of 5/27/16:

    Date G FUND F FUND C FUND S FUND I FUND
    27-May-2016 0.13% (0.02%)

    The C Fund is the winner for May. That means the following IFTs take place before noon Tuesday, 31-May-16.

    • LMBF-1 C>S Changes from the I Fund to the S Fund
    • LMBF-1 CI>S Remains in the S Fund
    • LMBF-1 G>F Changes from the I Fund to the C Fund

    If you are going to make a change be aware that TSP is going to be down for maintenance from 1:00 A.M. Sat to 6:00 A.M. Tues. It's either hurry up or wait.

    Looks like our systems are still going strong. All of them are beating any of the individual funds. CI>S really made out this month by going with the S Fund which just happened to be the winner.

    Looks like SIM really made out in June. It is now in the lead. All our methods are doing well this year compared to the five TSP funds. Let's see if the second half of the year is as profitable as the first half was.
