If I'm 100% I-Fund starting 2/1/08 and decide to move my money to safety, (lets say 100% G-Fund) does that count against my IFT limit?

As I understand it , that move will leave you with one more- then 1 last IFT would be allowed to the G fund only. Anyone else know?

Thanks South, I'll probably call the Thriftline and ask. However, they
probably won't know the answer either, " they know nothing ". (LoL)
Thanks Again For Your Quick Response

MSFT making a bid on YHOO. That may be devastating news for the shorts. If the jobs report is good today and combined with that news, we could be in for a pretty good rally today.

What to do??... Kudlow sez Goldilocks lives! Cramer is foaming at the mouth (as usual), and the market is in no-man's land. I'm Jonesing for some action. Can't do my daily IFT. SOoooo... I come home from work today ....shoot off a discretionary trade in the E-minis futures and proceeded to get my butt kicked in the wrong direction. (at least I kept it to 1 contract!)

Oh well, but I do feel better.. Thanks for listening. There's always tomorrow..

I've decided to ignore the stupid TSP board and will be IFT'ing as needed until the TSP police show up at my door. Nothing like a little civil disobedience to make me feel better..... and my friends at TSP TALK.

Still 50% G, 20% C, 15% S, 15% I. The I fund is looking good for tomorrow.

Sure wish I thought of this before noon today.

Those guys are way out of my league Birch. I never trade more than 2 futures contracts. Options have always been like black magic to me, maybe someday, (when I retire and have lots of time) I will be able to study and pursue the art of options trading..
