    In anticipation that G will still pay its penny tomorrow, my interfund transfer today is 40% G and 60% I. Hoping that I will push me up a notch in pay dirt.

    It has been so very interesting learning from all the knowledge flowing here.

    In reply to 2 moryrs post on my thread, if I understand your question correctly, I use a number of monitoring techniques. I watch charts for the SP500, EFA and dow wilshire 4500 which correlate to the C, I and S. The I fund is hard because EFA isn't exactly the fund but it is very similar. I use Yahoo finance, symbols ^GSPC, EFA and ^DWCP. I keep an eye on their charts and also watch RSI (14). I try to anticipate pullbacks and runs when the RSI is high (pullbacks) or low (runs). This is not a perfect science. If it was, we would all be rich. Today, for example, I am moving out of stocks since we have had a number of up days in a row. I would expect some profit taking, maybe as soon as this afternoon. When I talked about 2% in the S fund, I was looking for the ^DWCP to go up about 2% after studying its chart and observing that it had pulled back about that much from its 52 week high. The EFA has been range bound the last few weeks so I expect it to break out but can't say if it will be up or down. My guess is up but that is all it is. The down side of my chart reading is I think it has made me more conservative in my investments and it has cost me some gains. Instead of sitting in the I fund, I anticipated an impending market drop which never happened and sat in the G. I missed out on quite a run. Those are my two cents. Hope this was helpful.

    Today I decided to follow the recommendation of TSPtalk. Usually I put my own little twist on it but I thought I would see what happens.

    Today (possibly too late to count) I entered an IFT to 30% G and 70% I.

    Has anyone experienced this:
    I purposefully entered an IFT to process for 9/27/07 late on 9/25/07. TSP ended up processing IFT for 9/26/07!

    Has anyone ever had success with TSP getting an IFT corrected?

    Thanks in advance for any insights!

    I can only read this as you made a fund transfer at TSP.gov late in day on 9/25 (Tuesday). It should have processed at Close of Market the following day, Wednesday, 9/26. You should be at the new fund allocation on Thursday, 9/27. It sounds like it processed correctly.

    Thanks EW, but I guess I did not process the IFT late enough because I have the confirmation from TSP that they processed for eff date of 9/26/07. The IFT processed close of market 9/25/07 and was eff 9/26/07. I will have to get the times from my emails at work.
