    I’m probably too conservative right now. Just don’t trust this runaway train.

    Futures are UP! Might be time to re-balance out of the I fund... a strengthening US dollar will take the wind out of its sales, as it did yesterday pulling me down -.- My glorious iota of a lead on RF was just as short lived, relish the good times my friends!

    Hum...that Ifund percentage is what keeps pulling my head above water every time the c fund sinks. Not so much yesterday but being across the funds really helps keep it real when the US market drops. Humm?

    Should the dollar strengthen going forward, that will impact the I fund, it may not have as much growth. You're right though, of late, being spread across the funds has worked fairly well. Seasonality has the S-fund performing best, but it has not been.

    Cheer up Whipsaw. You gained 0.81% today and are up 4.16% for the month. I would take those numbers any day of the week. The important thing is that we are all "Winning" as the President would say and building a nice little retirement nest egg. And after all, isn't that what it's all about?

    Tell me about it. The S Fund has been lagging for a looooooong time now. I've been waiting too long for it to catch up. I'm ready to bail to C before the end of the month. That means S will take off in February.

    Cactus, you're on to it like me... here's an article regarding the S-Fund lagging, watch out though, I stepped aside a week or so ago and missed a healthy pop. Tom said it looks like another bull flag forming for the S. The article mentions strength following a lagging situation as the fund is cheaper bringing in buyers. Go figure!

    Too late for me. I bailed yesterday. It should take off now for those still in S.
