    Yeah, agreed...besides the equity funds sitting close to their lower Bollinger Bands and in a short-term oversold condition, I don't have a good sense of where the markets are going. Many moving pieces internationally that change direction quickly. Seems like a good spot for a hit and run on the I Fund, but I'm not committed to that yet...

    Like watching a turtle cross a busy road. Slow progress and prayers for a little courtesy.
    In Dog Beers I've only had two.

    I decided to pull the trigger on the I Fund today, due for a bounce at these levels....and I might not stay there for long, see what happens this week.

    I have an itchy trigger here also, but I'm thinking more like $59.50, or about -3% from where are today. That would take it down to some really solid support at the bottom of the rising trend channel from the March 2009 low, as well as closer to the one-year Fib' retrace. Scary graph when you look at a 6-year monthly wedge for the EFA. Should be okay inside of the wedge through 2016, but eventually it will get pretty narrow. Which side of the triangle do you think this will pop out on?

    No idea. Summer months are tough to play. Waiting on an additional 3% looks like the way to go. I'm thinking a small pop tomorrow. If so I'm out for July.

    Yeah, I think it's Blackrock buying in this afternoon because of all the TSP IFTs into the market this morning. You just can't get ahead of them.

    I'm sorry but this is complete manure.
    There is no reason, in 2015, that we should have to make a decision on an interfund transfer four hours before the close of the market.
    That's some great customer service right there. ;swear

    With roughly $5T in assets there is no question they have the monetary might to move the markets, however TSP money is not all they manage. They manage numerous institutional investments.

    Not saying I don't like a good conspiracy just highly unlikely. More likely (Jury's still out) I made a crappy move.

    As for the 4 hours before the close, no argument.

    On Vacation so not following too close the market but today was a trader's day.

    My personal charts had me in cash until next week and to ignore the noise. It's hard not to notice today. Payback tomorrow?
