    Thanks! If my suspicions are correct and the dollar continues to strengthen and the I fund does otherwise, I may go with a 50/50 split C and S... we shall see...

    I'm keeping my 18% in the I Fund as I think with EU QE there is more upside still. It seems like the dollar trend is pretty much sideways (2015 to present) vs basket of different currencies per https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DTWEXM

    Found this in a Bing search summary for "russell 2000 down" can't find a related article:

    The Russell 2000 fell sharply on Monday following a report that the House of Representatives was considering phasing in a cut to corporate taxes, rather than enacting them immediately. The index of small-capitalization companies was down 1.3%, on track for its biggest one-day drop since August.

    Lower highs with what look like bottoming tails, in the S-fund anyway, still smarting from Tuesday's smack down. Hate to think the tax reform effort could fail, or at least take on a crummy construct, which would drive things lower. Hmmmmm......

    That about sums it up RF! Don't like being caught up in the weakness, seems Ripper was on target when his TSP model moved to G a week or so ago. Going to stand pat for now.

    I agree with Valkyrie, time to move out of the I fund, not today though. Bottoming tails all over the place, it seems. All teetering on the tax reform bill methinks. It looks as though they are getting closer and that the House bill may pass. If so, expecting subsequent strength... we shall see.

    I'll take a small rally. November has been kicking my but down the street even with my sticky pants on this ride is getting a bit nauseating.
    May the force be with us.
