    Just wanted to say thank you for keeping up with this system.

    I think it was McDuck who first was tracking the “last month best fund”, and I was doing it due a while too, but travel forced me to miss the calls too often to keep up, and I dropped the ball on trying to keep posting it.

    I can tell you that after watching this for more than a decade, I’m convinced it really is among the top “systems” ever posted here on TSPTALK. While it doesn’t hit it right on 100% of the time, it HAS done wonders to bail out at key important Times, and to get back in when other ideas haven’t been anywhere near as good.

    This system now is one of my heaviest weighted considerations as I move from active employee , into the realm of retiree. I am so glad that I’ve discovered the LMBF’s trustworthiness to me personally.

    Thanks for keeping it up to date!

    This thread proves to me that there is such thing as momentum in markets. I do not believe markets behave in a "random walk".

    Here is the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over 3, 5 and 10 years.

    Annualized Return G F C S I LMBF-1 C>S CI>S SIM G>F

    All our methods did real well this year. If you average that over years though, buy and holding the C and/or S Funds produced better returns over time.
