A little too much uncertainty with a Congress bent on shutting down the gov't, Putin being Putin, and the day-to-day volatility going on in the market(s).

Accd'g to another site, F fund is best when interest rates are low.
I need to ask one of the smart(er) folks on here if that's an overgeneralization or a pretty good rule of thumb.

Expecting a swell with good news from Fed, Santa bump, and good December.
Also, planning 2015 to be more buy & hold in L2040 & L2050.
Maaaaan, I shoulda pumped a chunk into the I fund earlier this week. Putin has been de-pantsed and it's going to run up.
Wellllll, maybe I need to reconsider my 2015 plan.
I was going to do a 50/50 split between L2050 and L2040 early in January and let it ride.
But so far this year I'm beating those funds by 2% each (accd'g to the autotracker).
So, maybe I'll reconsider that strategy and stick with what I'm doing.
I'm at 8.72% ytd while L2050 is at 6.77% and L2040 is at 6.56%.
Cfund is at 14.37% ytd.
Only 20 on the non-premium AT are beating that, and less than 10 are beating it by >2%.
The top 3 premiums, at last update on 11/28/14, were within 5% of the Cfund (@14.06%), but the best (PlusSS) was only at 10.77%.
Another option is ponying up the cash to follow the Sentiment Survey System.
Near the top of the AT consistently seem to be Skypilot, Fedgolfer, and Felixthecat.
All 3 have fewer IFTs than Rogue this year, so could be followed.
Plan in progress...
Well, Felixthecat is 100% F fund...and negative on the year so far.
Skypilot is 50/50 C/S and Fedgolfer is 65/35 C/S I think.
So Ima move from this: To This:
2050: 20 0
2040: 15 0
G: 20 25
F: 5 10
C: 25 40
S: 15 20
I: 0 5
I'm not sure about buying I Fund right now, but it could be juicy in the Far East. Europe is still a crap shoot.
Felixthecat is all G.
Skypilot is 50/50 C/S and Fedgolfer is 69/31 G/S.
Frixxx is hidden, or in the premium tracker, or has gone underground or some damn thing.
So Ima move from this: // To This:
G: 25 // 65
F: 10 // 5
C: 40 // 20
S: 20 // 5
I: 5 // 5

Somehow, I didn't put my last IFT, noted above, into the AT.
#560, @ 3.31% YTD.
Felixthecat is still 100% G, Skypilot is 50/50 C/S, and Fedgolfer is 65/35 C/S.
So, Ima move some this afternoon, effective 4/15.
G: 40
F: 10
C: 20
S: 15
I: 15
Now, to update the AT.
It's always tough to make these calls. I went mostly G last Thursday but left 5% in I, 5% in S and 5% in F. This is supposed to be the time when we're all fully vested and the market is cranking but with the 2015 winter, the Transportation sector lagging, and the jobs numbers being light...I thought I'd take a step back for a bit. I've gotten more risk averse since I retired. Too bad. I really wanted to hang in there but can't afford a major hit. The RSI and MACD for the S&P aren't really giving me a clear signal that things are bullish right now. Best of luck. FS.

Today's move:
From: To:
G: 40 20
F: 10 10
C: 20 35
S: 15 15
I: 15 20
Buy the dip, don't be the dip.
I'm trying to contrarian the "go away in May" mentality for at least a few days.
Maybe get a few bargain buys.
