Soldat's Account Talk

First off, I am a N00B to TSP. Started 01Dec04 and as of this post I have only $5298 in TSP. Of this, I have invested $4980.

Stayed G fund until May, then more or less 40% S \40% I \20% C Until the S fund fell. Then, went over to 80% S and 20%C to squeeze every last nickel out of the I.

100% S on 27 Oct. Nov allocation adjusted account to 90% S \ 10% G. 88% S \ 12% F effective 03Nov05.

If the market is strong today, 03Nov, I sell and move to 100%F. I feel that the F bonds are due a .22 share increase before Dec 27. But also, I feel that the S will reach 16.12 - 16.22 before 26 Dec.

I think that the S will drop again, at least once, before holding through mid-december. I think my best move is to sell S within the next couple days, ride F up .15/share then buy in S again when it is low at the end of this month ~ 26Nov. Regardless of what happens, 100%G effective around 22-24Dec, I feel the drop coming early this year.

Let me know what you think.

Market looks strong, 100% F - I have a feeling and some good info that bonds are on the rebound. We will see. Looks like the market will hold fast today.

Let me know how you guys are holding up.

Market gave back a few points but still finished up. Looks like a good time to buy bonds too. Going to try to buy into either S or I, at 15.35 or 16.25 respectively. Hopefully the info I recieved on bonds is solid and I can ride them up at least .10/share while S and I level out.
100%F effective COB 03Nov

Wanted to buy in the I if it fell, but it doesnt look like it will finish down. Plus, bonds look bull today, still 100% F and rolling with it!

Looking for the market to be down on Wed so I can buy in. Bonds are rolling but that will end. Im thinking we will see overall 2-5% returns in months november and december. I am seriously contemplating buy and hold 50 50 S I until Dec 22.

Probably going 100% I effective COB today, twenty minutes and we will seee what happens. I think the euro is due a rally. Look at the charts.

I sure hope so. The Euro looks like it's bouncing on the bottom, but tomorrow is V-Day and I wonder how patriotic investers will be tomorrow. The one sad thing is, TSP is close tomorrow, so any change will be for friday and monday.
