    As promised, I am going to move to a 100% stock fund allocation today which will be effective Friday. My new allocation will be 50% S, 50% I fund.

    I apologize if I haven't replied to messages the last day or two. I just haven't had time to read the board. HopefullyI will get a chance to catch up soon.

    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hey Tom!

    YTD the S & I funds are close. However MTD, WTD the S is out performing the I fund. Why go 50-50?

    You might read Tom's Market Comments on 9/29/04. He mentions the G-7 meeting and how the I fund could be effected.

    Yeh C

    My response was a question of why 50/50 when the indicators favored the S fund? No big disagreement! Ain't got a crystal ball, ??? Just askin!

    Strickly G7 and being aggressive. I don't look at what funds have done better but rather which I think will do better. I guess I need a better way to do that, or a better way to explain that.

    Good luck!

    Tom. Spaf, Cowboy, other TSPTalk comunity members...

    I also moved into the stock today... My choice was...100% C Fund...

    because the 25 years compressed one year chart indique me that the

    C Fund perfoms better than the S Fund on the month of October...

    I think the market has hit its highs already for the day. I'm not that excited about this yet. I was hoping for a bounce off the sell off of the F fund yesterday and I thought it went down further than they posted it at. I'm going to stay F and maybe go back to G tomorrow. Good luck to everyone! Monday was a play day and now market may sell off.

    I really liked Thursday's action (what a shocker). We stayed above Wednesday's lows and made a higher high, closing in the middle. Merck killed the Dow otherwise the market did well as a whole considering. I still see the coil getting ready to spring up.

    Tom

    I love coils! E-mail me any you have left over!

    Merck might have pulled down the DJIA. But supprisingly my (other) mutual funds reported a gain. I didn't have any Merck stock! I guess diversification worked!

    I hope you have your "Seasonality Chart" tucked under your pillow tonight!

    I love these up days... so much for the last two days of september being weak trading days.

    (Based on how July and September turned out, I think I'll start ignoring the historical data on monthly trading). :P
