So i went 100% G today..did I use one IFT? or was that considered a free one?
kb9nvh,
The way it works is that you have 2 IFT's for the month. It doesn't matter which fund or how many shares you move between funds (1% or more) you only have 2. Example; the beginning of May I have 100% in the "S" fund and on 5/8/17 I make an IFT 75% "S" 25% "I" (that's one IFT). On 5/15/17 I make another IFT 50% "S" 50% "I" (that's my second IFT). For the rest of the month the only move I can make is to the "G" fund from the "S" and "I" funds if I want to. Another example; the beginning of May I have 100% in the "I" fund and on 5/5/17 I move 50% to the "G" fund and keep 50% in the "I" (that's one IFT). This leaves you one IFT for the rest of the month. Your 2 monthly IFT's count regardless which funds you move them to and from "GFCSI or L" After your 2 monthly IFT's you can only move to the "G" fund.
Hope this helps. Keep asking questions.
May the force be with us.
Thanks, I just didn't' know if moves to G counted as an IFT. I did know that you could move to G even after you used up two IFT's in a month. Its OK...I just need one more move when I see a good re-entry.
Hi, Well my exit may have been premature but I needed to pocket some gains from Thursday. I am doubtful tgat the politicians will get anything passed before October, so I feel like I'm waiting for the hammer to fall on my toes....just hoping to hit only one. So I might be overly cautious with only 20% left in equities. The charts look great... But then seem almost too great!
IF there is a slight pull back I may reenter. Just feel so limited with two only IFTs. One used and one left to fully deploy again. Typically, it seems that mid-June tends to have weakness, so I am wanting to wait for entry later this month and stay in until mid-July. Then wait for hammer again.
this year market just continues upward so maybe my take is wrong and too conservative. I did go against my strategy with the exit as the charts were still indicating I should stay in a little longer. What hhas surprised me is the I fund's continued skyrocketing. Weak dollar playing a role???
Well, I'm good for now. Hope you are all having a great weekend, and Best wishes on your Investments!!!!!!!

Well...guess no one got back in today....the biggest threat to my money has always been being out of the market

100% G fund COB 12/22/2023 Was 80%G 20%C
I'm fairly certain I will not re-enter until at least Thursday. I want to see how the British election and Comey testimony goes on Thursday. Also, listening for news on timeline and status of tax bill, healthcare and infrastructure legislation. The charts still look great for all funds and all embedded in oversold territory... just holding there. Looks like we are right at resistance for F and S funds, but I and C funds have broken through... yet it looks like this week, the market is pausing a bit. I too am waiting for direction. It could breakout and skyrocket for another leg or drop back down to prior support.
Definitely agree KB... its not good to be out of equities too long during bull market, which we are still in. Best wishes to you and everyone on your investments!!!!!

Yep. I know market is high, but everything still looks like its going up. I was already in 20% so Geronimo! I-fund dropped, but I have confidence it will continue up. Might get a little pull back short term but overall believe we will be taking another leg up. I guess we will see... Hoping Fed speak next week doesnt cause issues. Market seems resilient.
Best wishes to everyone on Your Investments and I hope you have a Great Weekend!!!!!!!

I'm still hoping for a June swoon and have my patience hat on. The QQQ looks like it will have an outside reversal today, however; the money may be flowing into the small caps. The I fund has performed well but it might be time to take some profits. Best of luck maybe you can ride it up for a few days.
