    Fund, I was going 100g yesterday to get that penny from g (today) but decided to go 50c50s because I am hoping that c/s will tank today(which would be a good day to buy). We'll see what happens. It seems like the market is starting in the negative.

    Moving to 75% G & 25% I. Seems many others have moved in that direction as well. I had some in F but that fund is headed in the wrong direction so I'm moving my F to G and moving my C to I. It is hard to argue against the I-fund right now. It might have a short drop but I had a friend who got recommended to get into foriegn market mutual fund as part of an IRA investment. My guess is that the foriegn market funds did well last year and when people look at last years performance to decide where to put IRA contributions, many more than usual will jump into the foriegn markets. Maybe this will explain the trend a little. Anyway, I'm not going to argue with a wave, just try and catch part of it.

    Hiya FundSurfer, welcome back to the world of "being tracked". Good luck with that new "system".

    Why is this thread so wide?

    Have no idea on the width. I didn't notice anything different.

    Kind of hard to get used to posting in two places. Life used to be simpler.

    Onward and upward!

    Default What goes up....

    .... must come down....

    Had some nice gains since 12/30, time to retreat to safety.

    If you look at days of the week, Mondays are the weakest. I think investors digest what happened last week and take some profits on Monday.

    100% G as of COB 1/6

    I think this trend will continue and will not likely be on sidelines long.

    Default Move to G

    I-fund closed 1/26 at 18.45 and I expect it to close over 18.5 for today. The I-fund has a slight positive bias from yesterday late plus a positive for today. That should surpass my target of 18.5. I-fund could keep going but I'm following my system - what goes up will come down. A target to get back in would be for the fund to fall below 18.3 and then show a positive day. Dollar has been on the rise last couple days in anticipation of fed move probably. I'll wait.

    S-fund closed at 17.18. My target was 17.4. I've revised that target to 17.3. Based on 11:00 estimate, if we closed right now we would be at 17.27. Very close to my estimate. Add to that the Monday negative bias and the fact the G-fund should pay Monday or Tuesday and that spells sell. I will wait for the fund to drop back to 17 before getting back in after positive day following a drop.

    100% G as of COB 1/27.

    Milkman - I was in heap big hurry, had to go. You got cohonnes going into S-fund on up Friday. I thought that was against your system?

    Default Not quite yet time to get in for me.

    I said target of 18.3 for I and 17 for S. I didn't say a target for C but my target for C has been reached. However, I'm not jumping under a falling knife trying to guess a bottom. Got too many burn marks that have taught me a lesson for that. I'll move into C-fund if it begins moving up. A bunch of analysis are touting Large Caps as the place to be because they have all gotten better P/E ratios than they have had for a long time and have scaled back their debt from the low interest rates the past few years. C-fund is lagging and well over due. I think I-fund is also a good place to be after a little more pullback. Might get back into all three funds next week if we see an end to the drop.

    For now I'm sticking to 100% G.
