Looks like CI>S has done the best (about the same as the C Fund) while C>S has done the worst and gone negative. What a difference staying out of the I Fund h as made. The other 3 systems have done about the same at a little better than thje G Fund.

The S Fund is the winner for Aug so the following IFTs take place before noon tomorrow, 31-Aug-18:

• LMBF-1 Changes from the C Fund to the S Fund
• LMBF-1 SIM Remains in the F Fund through October
• LMBF-1 C>S Remains in the S Fund
• LMBF-1 CI>S Remains in the S Fund
• LMBF-1 G>F Changes from the C Fund to the S Fund

The I Fund is the winner for Sep so the following IFTs take place before noon tomorrow, 28-Sep-18:

• LMBF-1 Changes from the S Fund to the I Fund
• LMBF-1 SIM Remains in the F Fund through October
• LMBF-1 C>S Changes from the S Fund to the I Fund
• LMBF-1 CI>S Remains in the S Fund
• LMBF-1 G>F Changes from the S Fund to the I Fund

Back from a cruise and a few days behind... I Fund it is! 10 days in Alaska... retirement is good!

The G Fund is the winner for October, 2018, so the following IFT's take place before noon (ET) tomorrow, 31-OCT-18:

• LMBF-1 Changes from the I Fund to the G Fund
• LMBF-1 SIM Changes from the F Fund to the G Fund
• LMBF-1 C>S Changes from the I Fund to the G Fund
• LMBF-1 CI>S Changes from the S Fund to the G Fund
• LMBF-1 G>F Changes from the I Fund to the G Fund

This is a long thread and I may have misinterpreted a previous post, but shouldn't the LMBF-1 G>F invest in the F fund whenever G performs best the previous month?

Also, has anyone looked at a SIM strategy that just invests in C during Nov -> April, and either G or F the rest of the year depending on expected interest rate hikes or drops by the Fed?

I'm not sure. You may be correct.

I don't really follow this system/thread. The normal poster wasn't able to post and asked for assistance posting. I followed their instructions below. Someone more knowledgeable than me about this will have to expound:

Testing to see if I can post yet.

Well, that looks promising. Much thanks go out to Userque for posting these results when I was unable to! There should be another posting tonight for December. Anybody please feel free to post the results if I'm having problems again. It's strange that I was able to login and make changes to AutoTracker, like posts, but not make posts myself.


You are correct, NatInPW, that LMBF-1 G>F should have gone with the F fund. I realized that at the time, but was unable to communicate the correction since that one is not on the AT. I'm just glad that Userque was able to understand my AT comments and post what he did or we would of had nothing here. Once again, anyone feel free to post the results. I will try to post December's IFT's tonight, but if I run into problems feel free to jump right in there. I don't know how many others are actually following this thread anymore.

The S Fund just eeked out a lead over the C Fund to become the winner for Nov.

Date	G FUND	F FUND	C FUND	S FUND	I FUND

Instead of 'starting over,' when you get the 502 error ... try just hitting your browser's refresh button. I've been doing this since the problem first appeared.
