    Default Transaction question?

    I was in 100% (C) Jan. 21 I stayed in until Feb. 6. I then moved to 65% (C) 35%G. For my first trade. Then went to 30% c and 70% G. Isthismy 2nd trade or is it a continuation of my first trade getting out. I then went to 100%G. Do I still have a trade to get back in for the month of FEB. Or am I done. I know you can increment out to the G fund after the 2nd trade. But each increment after the first trade, Is it the same?

    Thanks Crasher

    You are done for February. Every time you do an IFT it is a trade. 2 per month. The only exception is after 2 in any month, you can incremently or all at once go to G many to one times.

    Hey crasher, it looks like you used your 2nd trade for Feb when you went 30% "C" 70% "G", the move to 100% "G" was your unlimited moves to the "G". You're stuck until the 1st of March.
    Best of luck

    As I understand it, your 1st IFT in February was on 2/06, and then you did a 2nd IFT to reduce share holdings in C and add more shares to G. After that 2nd move, you are restricted to only move your money to the G Fund for the remainder of February. You cannot increase the percentages of your balance in any other fund but the G fund. You cannot go back to F, C, S or I until March.

    The rule sucks, but your present position is not that bad with only 9 more trading days left in February. (Unless you feel that the stocks are about to shoot up because of Obama's ridiculous stimulus hocus-pocus.

    (JMHRNO) (just my humble red-necked opinion)

    I just noticed that your question has already been answered by others who are quicker on the trigger. What can I say? I'm getting old.
