Thread: F fund

  1. #1

    Default F fund

    The F fund is now very overbought. The RSI is over 70 which usually indicates a pull back but 80 almost always does.

    I may stay in till we go below 70 on the way down or top 80. I only have one more move for the month.

    10 year at 2% would be absolute low IMO

    Clester,

    I hear you. The 'F Fund' seems very bubbly. But, where else can one go.

    I just took a 5.5% dump.

    Backed off to a conservative holding for my situation. That includes a 26% 'F Fund' allocation. Ouch...
    Lookin' up at the 'G Fund'!!!

    When this is over F will go down and stocks will go up. So, I plan on rotating at that time. G fund is ok except returns are around 2.5% a year right now. At least it's safe.

    The AGG goes up yesterday and the F fund goes down.

    Why can't TSP just give us something to follow?

    You may want to try BND. It seems to be a bit more in tune with our F fund.

    It's called FV

    With the G fund returning 2.5 and inflation at only 3.5, then that's like 99% safe right?

    It's the 1% that'll get you.

    The g fund is supposed to give a return a little above inflation.

    Fund Objective

    The G Fund's investment objective is to produce a rate of return that is higher than inflation while avoiding exposure to credit (default) risk and market price fluctuations.

    I look at the average of 10 year and 30 yields to estimate and sometimes agg. It makes it a little hard for technical analysis but you can use agg to get the general idea.

    I believe we will be up about .8% today if things hold up. I get that from looking at 10 and 30 year yields. Let's see if that is a good estimate. $tnx is down .7 and $TYx is down .9

    Copied this from an earlier post.
    350Z's F fund calculator:

    TNX = 10 yr yield
    TYX = 30 yr yield

    Use the change in yields

    (TNX+TYX)*.25 = F fund change in %

    -(-.71+(-.98))*.25 = +.42%

    Agg shows .21%

    Guess that didn't work. Actual .27
    Bnd shows .30
