Got a notification on my phone from the GasBuddy app I have that gas is going down even more after this Thanksgiving weekend.

Booyah!

Was looking at how Exxon stock was dropping recently lined up with the gas prices going down. Might be a good buy in a few weeks or later in the month when prices start going back up, stock should rise as well.

Getting itchy for some major down days to hit so I can buy back into the S, but I think this is where learning my patience will finally sink in. Hopefully it pays off.

Guess I can't argue with the G for now. Small gains are better than no gains.

Liked the big drop day the C & S funds had 2 days ago, and even though both were positive Thursday, they both ended the day on a down-slide. GOnna keep my eyes pealed 'til 11:45ish EST Friday and see how it's looking and maybe buy back into the stocks for the Santa Rally to hit mid-month. Feeling like once we hit Monday, the boom could start. Got both IFT's left for the month, so felling good about my timing.

Here's to hoping my patience pays off!

Have been 100% S Fund on here since the end of November, but in my real world TSP I just went 100% C-fund today after the huge drop so I will be all in Monday morning when the bell rings. Hopefully that's when the December sparks start flying and I can gain a few percentage points to end out the year a bit more positive than it has been for me.

I don't have the AutoTracker and my real world TSP lined up right now, but I probably will once the new year starts so I can mirror my earnings (and hopefully not losings...)

Was wishing I would have held out 2 more days to make that IFT to the C-Fund this past week. My first 2 days of trading took a .60-some and .80-some percent loss, but I recovered nicely with the two days of 2%+ end of day closes. I'd be sitting at 4.5% on that 2 day gain instead of just 3.2-ish%.

Happy with this weeks performance though. Gonna hopefully ride this out through the rest of the year and switch over to G or F early January.

Sounds like a good plan. Good luck and may Santa bring us and even merrier Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Holding onto the stocks for a few more days while it's high. Hoping it's a good push here to close out 2014, and start 2015. I'm not making a 100% promise, but I'm thinking of IFTing to the G or F on Friday January 2nd if this next week shows a lot of gains. Just in-time to "safe house" my money and let the stocks drop back a bit.

Merry belated Christmas to all, and may your New Years be blessed!

Going to test out a seasonal approach on this tracker. In my real life TSP, I'm still C-fund for another day or 2, but on here I am going F-fund for the month to cap off the Santa Rally and the usual slow start of the new year in stocks. Hoping for another positive year!

Real world - 100% C
TSPtalk - 100% F (COB January 1)

Moved F-fund on here, but went G-fund in my real TSP account.
