    I am going to readjust that 75% I fund "mistake" I made Friday. It seems to be paying off so far this morning however.

    I will initiate an interfund transfer this morning before the deadline going 25% G, 25% C, 25% S and 25% I fund. It will take effect Tuesday.

    Wow Tom, that's an interesting move.

    Are the indicators really that unclear???

    Tom,

    I normally agree with your logic and transfers. This time I am puzzled. Am I missing something? Why the back off now?

    Back off from what? I'm still 25% G fund which is the plan. If we get a pullback I don't know which fund will be effected most so I'm diversifying a little.

    In today's comments I say, " I am pretty cloudy on the short term."

    Sorry to confuse you.

    He screwed up on his last move (in spite of the fact he's benefitting from it) and he's attempting to reduce his exposure to the I fund, I think.

    Rod, will you still stick with your 100S plan for Tuesday?

    My two cents. I have posted in the I Fund. I personally believe I fund is the best and one does not need to split. When you split, you take a % gain and one will never realize a full gain. Same can be said for losses but that's why you do research. Stocks are going up. S&P fair value for 31 Dec is at 1225 which means a 3 to 4 % gain from current levels. There will be a short term consolidation as I predict around the 14 Dec FOMC meeting that will impact C and S, then a rebound. That's what I see. There is nobody to thank or blame for success of failure then oneself as we make independent decisions. I think Tom is publishing excellent research for one to study, then make independent decisions. I wish he had done this 5 years ago.



    good luck!

    Hi Tom,
    How do you mean mistake? I followed you into 25G / 75I. We're doing OK - no? :shock:
