Staying 100% I fund....
See the dollar moving up. Made a move back into the C with my
"I" money.
75% C and 25% S
Staying 100% I fund....
Still holding my 100% allocation in the I fund.
Starting to look like I made a bad move yesterday moving to the S fund. The I fund is up pretty big today. Have to admit the Thailand market spooked me out of the I fund. Oh well. Hopefully the S will have a small gain today to offset the I fund gain.
Now I'm glad I was in the S fund this week. Not sure where I'll be starting next week. Leaning towards the I fund.
CURRENT ALLOCATION = 100% G

hi Jeff,
Don't worry about Thailand...
Unless another Tsunami hits...then all market bets are off.
If you go to this link and click on "I-Fund"
http://www.tsp.gov/rates/fundsheets.html
You'll see that Singapore is the closest to the Thailand markets and the I fund only holds .08% of Singapore stocks in the portfolio. Japan has the largest percentage at 25%. If anything happens on the Nikkei then you might want to worry. When you click on the I-Fund on that page you will also see how the I-fund is vested in other countries. Europe is 66.5% and Australasia is at 33.5%.
Japan and the UK are our biggest holdings in the I-Fund. Both around 24-25% each.
Happy Holidays,
Remo

Still staying long.....40C, 40S, and 40I.
Posted over in Oil Stuff I think we could see oil below $50 real soon. C and S funds will get most of my attention unless the dollar hits 87. If that happens I'm back 100% I.

You'll have to open a margin account with an independent broker that will be willing to lend you money backed by the collateral of your funds.
Margin can be dangerous but also very beneficial when in a bull market and interest rates start heading down. All margin interest costs are tax deductable same as a home equity line of credit.
