    Default BamaAF

    OK, been lurking a few days trying to pick up tips and "how to's". Been in TSP (Civil Service) for a little over 10 years -- putting max in. Have pretty much stayed all C until they brought in S and I and for last year or so have kept it 50% in S and 50% in I. Moved to 45% C and 55% I on 23 Jan right ahead of spike. Why, you ask? I have no clue, just did it, not sure it was the right thing or not. I have about 8 years to go until I plan on retiring (bought my military time), so need to grow this puppy as much as possible. Hopefully can watch what some of you seasoned pro's do and figure out what to look for and why.

    Do the opposite of what seems to be working best today and you may be on to something for tomorrow.

    Went 55% I, 25% C, and 20% S close of business last night -- going to let her ride -- hopefully not too far down before she comes up
