Thread: Flalaw97's Account Talk

Hank you for posting this Flalaw! wow...very bullish sentiment.

If you believed that we were in a bear market and don't expect to be able to predict any ups in C, S or I what kind of sector mutual funds would you invest in during the down time? Gold? Energy? Real estate? Value stocks or "inflation protected" funds? Looking at portal options since I have no cash outside of TSP.

Not sure this will work but you can try this link to the thread that was started on the Mutual Funds list:
Thread: The TSP Mutual Fund Window - List of Funds


click on the spreadsheet link to open it and then create a filter on the headings
>sort on the Morningstar column
>Equity Energy would be the type for energy

You could do some research on any of those listed there to decide what might be best for you. Not advising anything here but just was trying to give you a way to find some of the energy mutual funds we have access to.

Not sure about gold or real estate but you could probably do some web searching on those types of MF's.

I am now convinced we are solidly in a Bear market and will remain there for foreseeable future (2023?). I have moved some $ into mutual fund window and dropped it in GSSFX betting against the S&P500. TSP funds are now in G, waiting for a significant upward turn to get back in. When only 16 out of the 916 in autotracker are able to do better than the G fund this year, it is time to sit on the sideline for a while. May miss some of the gains when it finally rebounds but these 2% and 3% drops in a day are gutwrenching.

Days like this make me wonder are we really still bear or did I miss the bottom?

Bottom may be in, also analysis saying we will be in a sideways channel for many months/years, so several visits to the bottom may be in play. Buy and sell appropriately.
