Taking a chance on a piece of that "I" pie!
Was: 100-S
New allocation: 70-S and 30-I
Good luck everyone - particullarly those who are "in" and gambling!
I was feeling on Wednesday of moving 100F into I. I had a feeling it would rally, but it would've been my 2nd IFT and i figured itd be a 1 day rally and resume bouncing, and id then have to move it 100G on Thursday. It didnt do that because i was betting on F to have a few more days of gains. Looks like we're about to lose yesterdays F gains... damn. I expect early next week to continue bouncing bc of holiday, which then leaves the following week for F gains. Probably will move into I if i feel a rebound day so i dont waste an IFT move for Feb. Hoping to get 1% gain for Jan.
I am waiting until after holiday to possibly move into I. Having to make moves before 12, and them not being entered until close makes it a gamble if i do it now....
Not been in the game much this year do to this and that, this and that. Time to get things going, hopefully - Little risky today but heck I'm a gambling man! 100% S.
I can vouch for that remark !!! That you are a gambling man, that is. 38% or whatever in 2013. Geez !!!
We moved to Phoenix about a year ago so it's been difficult to get my IFT's in before 11am EST. I'm just trying to find the coffee pot about that time. Hence....my investment strategy has changed dramatically...if the coffee is brewed too strong, it's a bulls day....too weak it's a bears day. I'm wondering what happens when it gets brewed just right

Welcome to the valley FogSailing. Getting in much boat time since the move?
I know what you mean about that 9AM deadline. I am either busy at work or looking for the coffee pot on AWS Fridays. (practicing for retirement on those days)
Apologies for the short hijack Remark.
PO
Within the last several days (week) the herd has galloped from the pasture to the corral - G and F funds. IFT's for today out of the stock funds, alone were quite incredible. Staying in the pasture to hopefully get another day or two of green morsels. Can't help myself to keep the reins loose!!!
Wow - long time no post. Heard rumor at work about VERA/VSIP will be offered by DOD during 2017 with off the roll date being 30 Sept. 2018 and will also include the new amount of 40K. Memo supposedly was signed on 3 Feb. and in the process of filtering down through individual components. I nor co-workers can verify this.
Has anyone heard about this and if so could you please provide link/publication, etc. authenticating?
Thanks, Kevin
http://www.fedsmith.com/2016/12/27/n...encies-follow/ The authority for increase to VERA/VSIP is only good through the end of Sept 30 2017, the offers would only be authorized for organizations downsizing or major reorganization, IAW VERA/VSIP guidelines but I imagine that they would require folks to be off the rolls either by the end of FY 2017 or early in FY 2018. I took the $25K last year, we were required to be off the rolls by 1 Mar 2016. Other times I've seen it offered it has often been by 31 Dec.
Appreciate the info Ms. Anne but I am referencing a supposedly DOD directive; memo signed on 3 Feb 2017, since the President issued the Fed. hiring freeze after taking office. Perhaps this is simply rumor but it sure has raised a lot of interest in my work place particularly if the 40K would be offered for early out.
