Then it's time for a rest while C & S catch up, right?
Actually my aversion to the I Fund is the same as for the F Fund. You can't tell by looking at the market what you are going to get at the end of the day. Add to that the fact that when I do enter those funds I usually end up regretting it and taking a ride down you can see why I prefer to toggle between S & G.

The big question, in the room, is when will the implosions, as a result of the QEs occur? This year or next?
Today is just another reason (of many...many reasons this past year) to NOT be afraid of the -I- Fund.

I look at the %month and %quarter. The I fund just does a better job lately. My previous S fund was basically stalled or waffling over the same time period. But don't get me wrong. If anything weird happens Witt markets in general I will be running for the G fund.

The Dollar Still Has Room to Fall
"After peaking at more than 100, the U.S. Dollar Index suffered a big pullback.
And with traders looking to sell the dollar into strength, I said we could see a
short-term decline down to around 94. If things got particularly nasty, I said
the dollar index could fall all the way to 88."
Last week, the dollar index reached our first downside target. And it's
likely that we'll see our second target soon...
Take a look at this updated chart of the dollar index plotted with its
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) momentum indicator and the Full
Stochastic Oscillator indicator – another measure of momentum...

Bottom line...don't fear the -I- fund.
Fear falling further behind its current level
Fear falling further down on the Tracker.

I also have some fear regarding the -I- fund.
At 34% invested, I fear I have TOO LITTLE exposure to the I fund.
I plan on reallocating to 50-75% I fund exposure by later this month, or early next month.
I don't fear not understanding some day-to-day I fund prices. With only 2 IFT's monthly we can't day-trade on TSP.
I do understand the monthly and YTD numbers. And those are the ONLY numbers that count.

Great points. I keep waiting for a dip to get into the I-fund but what if this is the '2009' of the I-fund? Hmm...decisions, decisions.
