How often?

[bbzpowerstroke]

I am new to the TSP "shifting funds" routine. I have read the information you all provide, and also looked at the recent information on the TSP site itself. I see the information given for long term investors (that's me), and then notice a lot of you seem to make daily/weekly changes. My questionsare these, how often do you shift, do you shift existing and new funds, and has all this shifting around historically paid off for you?

Right now I'm 100% S as of last Friday. I looking to set-up a routine and likely fit into the moderate risk investor category.

Welcome bbz,

Take a look here ... http://www.tsptalk.com/longer_term.html (http://www.tsptalk.com/longer_term.html)

It hasn't been updated in a while but that's because it's a longer term approach and still holds true.

Thanks for joining us!

THis is an observation Im doing here "not bet on this"

I see that after interese rise rate
the market were down for3 or more days

In June 30 the market was down in rise rate and continue dawn after.

In August10 the marker down 3 days after rise rate

In Sep 21 4 days down after rise rate.

That dont means the market will be down but can give u a warning
that rise rate can affect the way up for 3 or 4 days.

That is an observation Im doing here "not bet on this"

thats all :D

Nice observation on the rate hikes. Did you notice any patterns on which funds(C, S or I) did better or worse during those 3 or 4 days?
