I'm new to this site although not new to investing. I have just started scratching the surface of these message boards and was wondering what you all, asTSPparticipants,find useful as technical indicators (moving averages, MACD, RSI, stochastics, etc.). For the most part I have read posts like, "100% I Fund" but no further explanation as to why this asset allocation is being applied. Are most of these posts from users deciding off the top of their heads, or are they following indicators, news/hype?
Currently, I'm following the hype more than indicators because of the January Effect --I'm favoring the s-fund. Also, Ifind myself still married to the I-fund after such a good year.I also see theS&P and Wilshire 4500withRSI indicating short-term overbought levels... 70+ for 9 day RSI.If it wasn't for the year end hype and the January Effect, I would be taking some of those profits off the table.Dependingon the technical indicators and moving averages,theC-fund may soundlike the place to be after the January Effect fizzles...all I hear in the news is "flight to quality." Agree,disagree, comments? LOVE THE IDEA of Tsp participants sharing ideas and strategies.
