burrocrat just (5/19) went to 100% G.
A "gain a little, or a lot, every month" enthusiast, he's tricksy this one.
Some notable top 50 from the AT:
SignStealer is 100% S fund, and kicking butt.
Birchtree's profile says he hasn't made an IFT since May 2011. That can't be right, can it?
wwwtractor remains 100% I fund (since February), this guy is hard to keep pace with, no?
Other notables:
Lucy with 55 IFTs already this year!
Klear with 40 IFTs!
Boghie is pretty evenly distributed with I fund his lowest holding at 10%, #500 on the AT. A thoughtful investor, I shoulda watched him sooner.

Anyhow, sitting at #550 on the AT, I'm moving a little around today.
April sucked, and May has been kinda volatile but so far profitable.

Today's IFT-
From: To:
G - 20% 10% (small safety net for now)
F - 10% 5% (I want out of F, but hate to sell low)
C - 35% 50% (This is where I think the value is right now, while the S&P500 is lagging a bit, these seem poised with stability)
S - 15% 25% (Maybe too late, and maybe buying high, but damn if I can resist this wave that's, hopefully still, brewing. Gambler's folly?)
I - 20% 10% (Europe gave this a boost this week, but Vlad the Masculine can wreak havoc with it by spinning a tank turret toward Ukraine it seems, then WhoTF k
knows about Asia)

Hmmm. Seems a ripe day to buy a little fear.
Today's IFT-
From: To:
G - 40% 22%
F - 0% 6%
C - 30% 37%
S - 20% 31%
I - 10% 4%
Hmmm. Has your timing ever been just a little off?
Mine has.
Dammit.
Apparently this means that so long as G increases, and the other funds only decrease, I can do some rebalancing.Dear Rogue, please correct the IFT since you have already used 2 this month and can ONLY move into G fund from the others.
But, for future reference, this is important to know.
Selling a bit of Greek optimism today.
Seems the Europeans are a bit happier.
I don't like this volatility that we've seen the past few weeks, when the mercury is >90 degrees. It makes humans act weird.
Today's IFT-
From: To:
G - 22% - 47% (nod to to the Mittster)
F - 6% - 5%
C - 37% - 22%
S - 31% - 23%
I - 4% - 3%
OK, that one was well-timed. Not to be too heavy-handed with my own back patting.
Listening to the radio early AM, Europe was rallying and all indications until 11:30 looked like we were set to gain a bit, so I moved to what is likely my summer holding.
Damn but today would be a good day to buy (move from G to C/S/I)!
Today's IFT-
From: To:
G - 47% - 30%
F - 5% - 5%
C - 22% - 30%
S - 23% - 30%
I - 3% - 5%
Buying what appears to be a 2-day dip in C,S, and I. Well, technically S improved 0.1% yesterday, but the others appear to be diving.
Contrarians, react!

Well, I went the right direction, at the right time, just not enough.
Should've gone 100% G last IFT.
And, now is NOT the time to sell any of these shares. Right?
It's been a bloodbath this week.
I've moved UP to #295 on the AT because I've ONLY lost 0.02% YTD. So far.
It may be time to buy fear in the coming days.
To paraphrase Goodman's character in Raising Arizona, I'm young, I've got my health, what do I want with all that money anyhow?
Seriously though, if a feller could time the "bottom" of this selloff, I be there's gold in them thar hills.
Takes guts though, time to do a gut check I s'pose.
