    The dollar has come down pretty far, pretty quick. I could be completely wrong but since the I fund didn't seem to get the gains it probably should have on Monday, I expect a nice day for the I fund today. Hopefully we get it but because the dollar is due to rebound some,I will move 100% into the S fund effective tomorrow, 10/20.

    As I mentioned in the email, it is a "wiggle" play. Not a necessary move by any means, just trying to avoid somepossible sluggishness we may see in the I fund if the dollar does rebound.

    Still 50% S, 50% I fund today, 10/19,
    100% S fund effective Wednesday 10/20

    Tom,

    I love your market comments... I think you are right on the money... They will not give Dollars for free on the streets of Paris or Munich... Dollar most rebounce up... getting out of the I Fund is good idea... 100 % on S is the place to be... the question is when to get out... the 28 th or the 29th... last time I did not get out the 6th of September...shame on me waiting till the 8th...

    Good Luck... Profit from your Patience...

    Leon

    I'm also going to move to all S fund. The weak dollar has really helped the I fund, but it does take huge swings sometimess. My guess is that the I will do good today. Euro stocks and japan way up this morning, so we may have some profit taking. The S fund stills needs to move up today. It needs to stay above the resistance level of about 12.83.
    100% S fund starting tomorow.
    As of cob May 22nd. 100% S fund.

    The F fund "funkey" has been bobbling since September. From the first of September; 09-01=10.30, 10-19=10.38. Low=10.23 on 09-03. High= yesterday and today. The F is in fixed income securities. suppose to me better than a money market fund, and it pictures the US bond market.

    I'm not right often enough to let this one go:

    Tuesday 10/19...
    C fund -.11, S fund -.09, I fund +.14

    I had a feeling yesterday's drop in the I fund was a bit too odd with the markets up like they were. Wednesday I will be 100% S.

    The S fund is really making me nervous. I'm 100% for tomorow, but I may go 100% I for Thursday. The I fund chart looks a lot better and above all moving averages. 12.83 is a resistance level for the S fund. We could break through that level tomorow.
    As of cob May 22nd. 100% S fund.

    Today has the look of not doing well. We could do a reversal, but we broke some key support levels. S&P below 1100, 10 T-Bond below 4% (Economic indicator), oil up, Spitzer effect.
    If we close down the S fund will break its support level of 12.83. How low will we go? Think I'll move to F fund. Looking strickly at the charts it is trending up and making new highs.

    TSP,

    The U.S. Dollar is getting crushed today. Does that matter to the I Fund?

    Did you verify that your change went through? I just called and my G fund transfer did not go through and they have no record of it ever happening. Check and make sure. I'm still in the S and didn't want to be.
