    Default Tempest's Account Talk

    Been in 100% G since 3/1/07. Watching how the market shakes out. 25% quick sorties down the road.
    No more 100% in other funds for the time being (except G). Spread the risk.
    Live in Hawaii so I have to make decision early morning and at work. I don't post from there.

    Good to see you posting your moves, Tempest. I hope this year ends on a positive note for you and all on this board!

    Thanks-now is as good a time as any. Really would like to show my moves before the bell - I'm in at 5AM. I can do it on Fridays at home since I work credit hours. But I don't post anything when I'm not on a computer I don't own.

    Read the rules found in sticky notes at the top of Members' Accounts forum. It's fine to post early in morning for that trade day. If you post to your account on Friday afternoon, your allocation change will post in the Weekly Tracker on the following trade day, usually Monday COB. You must post your fund allocation change by 12:00 pm EST to get fund prices for that trade day. Only post a change in your TSP allocation. We do not want to hear that you remain at present allocation unless its been almost three months without an entry. Then you must post an entry in your account that you remain at present fund allocation. Also, you add fund allocation changes to you account thread by clicking the "Post Reply" button in your account thread.

    It was just a nibble yesterday when I went in "I" for 20%. IFT'd back to "G" for 100%.
    See how it shakes out over the weekend.
    Capital preservation is my main goal in this volatile market. Like the man said.
    "Be right-sit tight".

    Did very, very good in the "I" today-and I have been very careful since my Feb 27th. losses- I am in striking distance of where I was Feb 27th. I was going into "S" tomorrow per Ebbtracker-but I will wait around in "G" to get my penny. Didn't know there was a holiday in Japan-don't know how that will help or hurt.

    Somebody give me a forecast for Friday-C, S and/or I.
    Your gut feeling.

    I am a relative newcomer to all of this, but my gut says we see somewhat of a selloff this Friday in the C and S.

    My gut will probably be wrong and the euphoric rally will strengthen (people rushing to catch the train they fear is leaving the station).
    Discretion is the better part of valor!

    Tempest,
    I think most of us on the board are going to be playing it safe until probably tuesday. I will probably be moving G and then F for monday.

    Those are my 2 pennies.

    "F" was a loser today.

    Screw the "F" fund.

    The smiley with the hammer is a Realtor-I'm on the receiving end.
