Thread: Bulls and Bears

I'm 20S, 20C and 60G today. The gains were good over the weekend, but today I'm a deer in the headlights as I see the numbers declining. I missed the deadlline yesterday to hide back in the G fund. Do any of you more experienced (and braver) investors have advice. Do I stay where I am, possibly take a loss on my shares and go to G for tomorrow a.m. or actually increase my stocks in wild speculation???

Thanks Tom, I should have copied all your strategies and waited in the G fund too.

Anything new before the cut off? Other opinions?

Nothing new for me today.

highplains -
With 60% in G, you are in good position especially if you've gotten some of those gains over the past week or so. We are due for a pullback butyou are better offerring on the side of being too bullish rather than too bearish for the next several months.

I posted this elsewhere yesterday - take a look at the increasing Euro (vs the dollar) and the I fund return(efa).
You can see, like in May 02- Mar 03, the I fund can drop even while the dollar drops. The strength of the dollar is not the main determinant of EAFE, although it is a factor.

If it's not a significant factor (the value of the dollar) the TSP has some explaining to do because last week a lot of us lost money in the I fund when it appeared to end the day on a positive note !

I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you saying the I fund went up and you somehow still lost money? ( Don't see how that's possible). Or that the dollar dropped against some currency and I fund went down (it happens all the time)..
