Sorry- had some major personal stuff taking place and missed the noon switch.
Thanks for jumping in Cactus! - Yes, the switch is to "C".
That one eeked out a 0.85% gain lat month.
Good luck.
The C fund is killing me softly!

No problem, James. I understand the major personal stuff. It's my recurring family and work issues that made me reluctant to put the LMBF-1 on the AT. I can't guarantee that I will be here at the end of every month to enter the IFT.
Speaking of which, congratulations are in order for LMBF. Making it into the C Fund close to the start of this rally, and in a month with positive historical returns, it's set to fly past the entire LMBF-1 family as they are resting in the safety of the G Fund this month.
Allocations as of COB Dec 28 : 100% S. | Retirement Date:Dec 2025
Past Returns: 2020 31.85%,2019 27.97%,2018 -3.36%,2017 13.10%, 2016 -1.79%, 5Yr Avg 12.61%
Here we are- another month goes by, and we eek out a small gain.
"C" was ok- but this time it looks like the "I" fund was a bit better.

We'll be making the IFT into "I" before the noon deadline tomorrow.
Good luck.

Last month it looks like "C" fund did the best, although all the funds were in the green for the month.
We'll move to "C" today- executing the entry before noon- to be effective at the close of business today.

Good luck!
Well, "C" did ok, but "S" was the best fund in June.
We move to "S" tomorrow before noon.
Be careful!

Ouch!
Well, the "Last Month Best Fund" really tanked last month- and we end up with a shift to "G", as "G" was best in July.

That really blows- because it puts us at odds with several other very successful systems. I have been sticking with LMBF this year, and my gut, when I SHOULD have been watching something else .
Oh well. I'll just have to keep working a few years more, I guess.
Officially, the LMBF method moves to "G" before noon today- and will be effective at the close of trade.
Remember- your milage may vary, don't buy a pig in a poke, watch out for low bridges, and anything can happen here. Besides, I did NOT stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Good luck!
Has anyone done research on a Last Month's Worst Fund strategy? My thinking is, if for example in July the S fund dropped 4.38%, would it be wise to invest in the S fund thinking it would bounce?

Easy come, easy go.
Last month it was "S".
And so we move. Good luck.
