    I wouldn't call S-fund the tech companies. There's a lot of small banks and oil refinery companies, etc., where the big tech companies are in the S&P 500 (C). And larger global companies are more likely to be impacted by overseas economies, imho.

    I could be wrong, but just adding to your outloud discussion.

    I think the (S) fund (tech) will be more exposed to COVID-19 than (C).

    If I IFT, 100 (C) might be the better choice.

    Outside of the TSP, I sold SH and FAZ and bought AAPL and NVDA.

    You are correct, Tom. I should not have given it a blanket "tech", especially since the DWCPF consists of only about 16% tech. Whereas the S&P 500 consists of about 24%. Thank you for that catch!

    This worked to my advantage from 2 Nov 2009 to 23 Dec 2019, averaging 28% annually. Therefore, effective COB:

    60 (C)

    40 (S)

    I am strapped in for the eventual wild ride! Will I become a buy-n-holder for another 10 years? Maybe!

    Off the highs of the day because of bond yields. Think we are going red. But, how will the day end?

    Darn right there were. I've been screaming it from rooftop since 23 Dec 2019.

    Question Re: Rod's Account Talk

    No matter how this day ends, I wonder if futures will turn a solid positive after President Trump's COVID-19 news conference tonight @ 1800 EST?

    Not a terrible day in light of the bond yields. As mentioned earlier, let's see how the futures and eventual opening bell reacts to President Trump's COVID-19 news conference.

    BTW, HUSH UP CNBC. Stocks did not "tumble" today!

    More downside is a certainty. But, a relief rally should be around the corner. With that said, I am quite satisfied with the prices at which I bought into (C) and (S).

    (C) is @ 5 Dec 2019 levels of 45.7107 (I sold @ 47.1444 on 23 Dec)

    (S) is @ 22 Nov 2019 levels of 54.1496 (I sold @ 56.3118 on 23 Dec)

    Of course, I will ride (C) and (S) down further if that relief rally doesn't come tomorrow. But, I am happy to lock in these prices. My plan all along after I IFT'd into (G) on 23 Dec 2019 was to buy in lower than what I sold. I exercised that plan, meeting my goal. I now need to contemplate how long I will remain in (C) and (S). Although I've joked about buy-n-holding for another 10 years like I did from 2 Nov 2019 to 23 Dec 2019, I have no plans to do that at this point. Therefore, I may not be disappearing from the forum after all.

    God Bless

    BTW, my IFT to (F) on 19 Feb (through today) garnered me a gain of 1%.
