To accomplish this, rebalance. Set your percentages and rebalance to them every pay period. (L-funds do this daily but that frequency is uneccessary.)
You will HARVEST any profits to be had by selling a few shares. If prices drop you will be buying more which leads to a faster climb when prices rise once again. You will make money faster than you lost it.
My strategy was to place all new contributions in the G-fund, then rebalance every two weeks on the Tuesday following the Monday payday, the day funds flow into the account.
The man is absolutely correct, never sell low, BUY low.
But in two weeks I'm leaving federal service and transferring 100% to my IRA with RBC Dain Rauscher, so I am now 100G.
