TEEFEL HUNDEN's Account Talk

[TEUFEL HUNDEN]

I have been 100% I for the last 4 weeks however the I looks as if it will stay below the 10DMA so I made an IFT at 1150 est time to 100% G. we will see what happens.

[TEUFEL HUNDEN]

C and S look good so I went 50 50 C, S at 1100 est time today.

[TEUFEL HUNDEN]

Great, maybe the drop on C&S is an awesome buying op.

Still watching that I Fund though. I may jump back in at a good op kind of hard to tell when it will stop falling.

[TEUFEL HUNDEN]

Or not.:@

I'll wait where I am at and hope for a gain.

[TEUFEL HUNDEN]

Ok that helped a little, hope it is not just a bounce back. Still holding 50 50 C S

[TEUFEL HUNDEN]

Man I thought I figured out a trend that has been going on for the last 6 trading days. Up one day, down the next, up the next, down, up, down, but NO! not the day I try this measly little plan. It was fun trying.

[TEUFEL HUNDEN]

OOPS, I thought I made an IFT but instead I made a contribution allocation, so I was still 50 G and 50 C yesterday. I took a small hit on that. Operator error.:?

IFT (yes IFT this time) to 100 G EFF COB



Figures, the only fund to take a loss yesterday. Had I been in the I it would have been nice.

[TEUFEL HUNDEN]

Darn, I lost $ 2 days in a row due to my O.E.

[tennisguy]

So your thinking that the I fund will do good for a while. I am trying to decide if I should stay with the 20% I have in it or leave it alone. Any insides?

Well so far this month: G=+.01, F=+.03, C=+.11, S=+.22, I=+.24, just gotta remember that the I fund has a double edged sord! Is it worth the risk?

[TEUFEL HUNDEN]

IFT EFF COB 100 G

Tennisguy, I saw a huge drop in the I so I am looking for a bounce back today. Personally I think the I fund is very risky, as Spaf has stated, it is a double edge sword. It can be more like BLADES sword where the razors in the handle open up in your hand if don't like you. The US $ seems to be gaining ground and has been for about a month. Just be careful. Look at the historical rates of return on the TSP web site and you can see the damage the I fund can deliver.

[coolhand]

I guess we're gonna ignore those "paltry" gains the "I" fund delivered the last 2 years? :(

[TEUFEL HUNDEN]

Yes coolhand you are correct it can be very profitable however, I think it is just a little to choppy to tell right now. Do you have any idea as to why it dropped 66% yesterday, but no drop in share price?

You could be looking at EFA. Several ETFs went for a two for one split!

[TEUFEL HUNDEN]

That is the only thing I could think of was a split. I did not hear anything about it and that was confusing me. EFV and EFA both split.
