    Default beafet's Account Talk

    So, I have a PM in to Tom to start tracking me for 2010. My plan is to invest 100% into last month's second best fund at the beginning of each month. My theory is that this catches a trend on it's way up, as opposed to the Last Month's Best Fund Method, which I feel may catch a trend at it's peak.

    I will be starting out 2010 with 100% in the C fund.

    You started off Great !!!!


    I'm looking around for the newer members with just a few posts (or replies).

    Some of the best methods for sharpening your investments skills is by allowing others to randomly challenge you here and there.

    So if I noticed you 'on line' I might ask what was the name of the young adult boy and girl in The Beverly Hillbillies.

    We've found the better you get at these challenges the more your TSP investments soar.

    WELCOME ... and GL

    So today I felt a lot better about being in the C fund, as the S Fund took a much bigger dip than the C. All month the C has been trailing the S, and now I'm not sure what the numbers will be, but the C fund has probably closed a little of that gap.

    Well, this month it looks like the F fund took the prize, with second place going to the G fund.

    So, 100% into the G fund.

    Alright, in February, the number 2 fund was the C fund. So, 100% into the C Fund for March.
