    The reason for the change is in today's market comments. I had suggested earlier today that I may not make a move because of the market being down "more than modestly". We are seeing a bit of a rebound so I decided to go ahead and make the transfer.

    Me too.Italk about iteveryday in the market comments.

    Are four days in the same funds getting you ansy? Actually, I'm considering moving more in S fund (from C). It's been acting stronger lately. I'll let you know if I do something. That may just come with next week's change.

    I have allocated 20% to G and 80% to I- over a month and have earned more than 2.1%:^

    Hope it continues. What do you think? If the I fund goes down I will transfer my G funds to I.

    If gas prices :sdrop significanty (20%) I will consider moving heavily into the C and S funds.

    I like the S and C fund over the I fund currently, just based on what the U.S. dollar is doing. That could change next week but for now I'm before getting into theI fund.

    Let me clarify my above posts a bit and say that I am not suggesting the I fund will go down or even that it will underperform the C and S funds. I am saying that the EAFE index, the index which the I fund tracks, is not the only factor when playing the I fund. If the EAFE is up but the U.S. dollar is also up, the I fund does not go up as much as ther EAFE index. When the dollar is down, the I fund should do better than whatever the EAFE index does. Right now the dollar is in a position (to me) of being ready to go up rather than down.

    Again that does not mean the EAFE index will go down. If the EAFE index has a big day or week and goes up 3% butthe dollar is also up, the I fund may only be up 2.5%. So the I fund can still do well. I would just rather be in there when the wind is at my back and the dollar is looking to go down.
