I'm kicking myself right now. I should have been on the F Fund for today, but forgot to switch from the I Fund last Friday. I had been using the I Fund's volatile nature to my advantage, and doing good so far. April was great for the I Fund (+4.83%), I gained +4.93%, so no great difference there. But, the reverse was true for May (-3.87%). By swithcing between the I Fund and the F Fund, I managed to get a +2.39% return.

I got to stay more focused. This is my plan for the rest of the week:

Tomorrow - 100% I Fund
Wednesday - 100% F Fund (ITF before noon Tuesday from I Fund)
Thursday - 100% F Fund
Friday - 100% I Fund (ITF before noon Thursday from F Fund)

Since the beginning of the year, I'm ahead +15.51%. If not for my forgetfulness, I would have been on the F Fund today and still be ahead 17.49% for the year. Oh well, it's still a long year. Good luck everyone.

Welcome!

For tracking purposes and TSP.Talk you will not be at 15.51% for the year. The trackers will start you off fresh in (I).

Please post your moves here:

Ensure you post them prior to noon EST to be counted for tracking purposes.

Thanks for the tip, Rod.

Friday should be a buying frenzy for the I Fund. Still on the F Fund, but I'm on the I Fund for tomorrow and lucky we'll have a big rebound tomorrow.

Staying put with the I Fund 100% for Monday as the Big Bounce continues...

**ebbnflow** · 06-09-2006, 11:56 PM

The week in review:

Monday and Tuesday - did not post IFT for tracking (wash)
Wednesday - F Fund - lost -.01 cents
Thursday - F Fund - won .02 cents
Friday - I Fund - won .12 cents

Good gain for the week!

My tracking system is giving me the green light for the I Fund for the whole week next week. The Big Bounce should be in for the I Fund.

Only playing between the F and the I Fund. That's all ya need.

Funny thing about my new tracking system, it has subtle innuendos that needs to be read just right -- it's a work in progress. I read Monday and Tuesday as having minor bumps, but it turned out to be a CORRECTION. OUUCCCHHHH! I'm still bullish on the I Fund though.

FWIW, good luck in calibrating your system. At least you have one.
