I'm reasonably deep into the I fund and have been there for awhile and don't relish having any company - try keeping the potential for outperformance a secret.
I cant upload my charts right now, but if you look at the weekly chart on the I fund, the current weekly candle has not only opened above its entire range from last week, it has also moved above its 5 EMA. I use this as a buy/sell indicator and looking at the charts, it seems fairly reliable. If this level holds or increases after wednesday, I would consider transferring into the I fund. If it runs, with positive global news, this could get a return close to 20%.
Post back any thoughts/likes/dislikes.

I just went 50% in for the first time this year
100% G Fund COB 13 March 2020
Man I'm sorry to hear that.
You know you like the bullish company Birch. I went full boat I fund yesterday mostly based on dollar predictions and the fact that the LMBM method has performed very well this year at 14.6%, and it will be in the I fund for December.
100 G COB 11/3/23
If I had missed the rally and was considering getting back into stocks COB Monday, I'd probably move to the I fund. The Tokyo Stock Exchange was last open on Thursday (Tokyo time), which was before our market opened (Thursday EDT). And it won't re-open until after our Market closes on Monday. So far, while Tokyo is sleeping, the S&P has gone up 2%. If it goes up again on Monday, you can bet the I fund will be in for some gains when the Nikkei rejoins it on Tuesday.
(All that being said, I'm already 100% S, and I never waste an IFT early in the month to go from one stock fund to another.)
The EAFE was up 0.72% on Friday and the I-fund was up 1.46%. Do you think the I-fund share price is already pricing in a possible copy-cat rally in Japan?

Maybe. I'm usually wrong in my speculation on the I fund. The FV thing throws me for a loop. But I keep trying anyway.
Nikkei closed +3.55%. Geez. Makes me think I should have followed my own advice. It wouldn't be a wasted IFT if it makes you money. But, we shall see. Who knows how that will actually play out in the TSP's I fund?
