Thread: Last Month's Best Fund Method Strategy

Deleted...John says it all!!

< In my best James voice... >

For those of you who follow the LMBF system, it's time to switch to the S Fund before the deadline tomorrow morning.

Below are the results for the month of January for each of the funds. The S Fund led the pack with a monthly gain of 6.96%.

Just think.... if we got 6.96% each and every month, we'd have a 83% return by the end of the year!! Wa-hooo!

Best of luck to everyone!

F for March?

From what I see it will be the C fund. Lets wait for the link.

Share prices are posted. Looks like we have a change. End of the month, and the Senate vote killed the market in the last half-hour, so we run into the sequester season by moving our assets to "C".

"Last-month-best-fund) Changes (IFTs) to "C" before noon tomorrow, effective COB tomorrow.

Good luck. I think we're going to need it moving forward!

What connection am I not making?
F went from 15.90 to 16.00, a 10 cent gain.

C went from 19.15 to 19.21, only a 6 cent gain.

The F gain a larger % because its a smaller # also.... am I an idiot?

nevermind I guess we're going from 31st to 28th even though we actually sold at the 1st share prices.

We are basing it on the greatest percentage return over the past month, not the greatest monetary gain on the last day. C Fund was 1.36% gain in February. F Fund was only .51% gain.

I've read through this thread a few times. And I can't seem to find the answer to this question... What do we do with our payroll deducted contributions? I just had it all going into G for the past year, should I be having it go to the fund for the month? Thanks!

You should have it go whereever YOU feel is best. We can't advise anyone where to put their money, because none of us are licensed financial planners or licensed financial advisors. What you do with your money is totally up to you.

(*I know that personally, I have MY money going into the same place where my balance sets- but hey, that's just me.)

Thanks for the update, James. Will definitely be interesting to see how March plays out.

For those of you who follow this system, keep the long term picture in mind. The long term track record of this system is much better than buy and hold, even if it has a down month. (Not saying it will have a down month).

Good luck!
