Thread: uscfanhawaii's account talk

Continuing to update on TSPWealth.com, I don't usually follow them specifically, but I like to keep track of where the different systems are pointing. TSPWealth.com just went 50S/50I from 100I, effective today.

trying something new this year....since last year did not go so well. I am emphasizing equities, and making moves mid month and end of month. I will be watching LMBF but tweaking it. We'll see how it goes (so far so good in 2013! ).

COB 15 Jan: 47C 37S 16I

Good luck out there!!

Sounds like a plan to me.

Not sure if this rally will continue, but back in Dec I did say that if/when the fiscal cliff was averted, I would look for a quick rise in the SPX to 1550. Now BT predicts 1500-1600 so we are on the same track! And my modified LMBF is doing just fine so far!!

I think I saw it posted on these boards before, but I really like this description of a Trillion Dollars. And of course our Deficit and Ceiling are many times that! This is remarkable!!

What does one TRILLION dollars look like?

Well, I gotta say, It sure feels better being at #145 on the AT instead of being on Ocean's Bottom 50, like I was most of last year!!

And regarding the question posed on several other threads, 'Are we at a top??'.......I have to follow Tom here. Until there is some kind of break (up or down) from the current narrow trading channel, you gotta believe that it will be continuing UP!

Only question then becomes, which fund will take you the highest. I will continue to use my 2x per month modified LMBF system, even tho the straight S-Funders seem to be beating the pants off all of us!

Good Luck out there!!!

For my 2nd (NOT my Third!) IFT for Jan, I am putting in my 2nd attempt at my 'modified twice a month LMBF' method. Going to 30C 35S 35I cob Jan 31, from my mid Jan 47C 37S 16I.

Still all in equities!!

You are one smart dude, uscfanhawaii!

Shucks.....Thanks!!

Also just put in my mid-Feb IFT for 35C/50S/15I, effectively moving from I to C and (mainly) S, COB Friday. Still trying to max my equities while everything continues in the upward trend. Also need to keep an eye out for a big correction. Falling out of the upward trendlines should be a good indicator.

By the way, I forgot to mention that early last week TSPwealth.com went from 50S/50I to 50C/50S. I guess I am also seeing the indicators moving away from I. (No offense, BT!!)

Good Luck out there!!

Well, I put in my mid Mar IFT a little early...moving some from I back to C and S. Now I am 39C 45S and 16I. I got real tired of having the I pull me down. But I may have been premature in that.....my little bit of I saved me on Friday.

And now I see that TSPWealth on Monday will go back to I, going to 33C 33S 34I, from current 50C 50S. Not that they are an expert, just another piece of info. But I do think 2013 is for equities.....just which ones to choose to maximize returns!

I never would have thought, however, that the buy and hold S funders would be ruling the day in 2013. I'm sure that there is more 'up the market's sleeve' for the rest of 2013!!

Oh...and I notice that kspecht85 is very similar to me, being at 36C 43S 18I.....and right with me on the AT!!
(and congrats to czapor for a good start to 2013!!)

For those of you out there who want to see how 3,4,or more IFTs are made in a month, you can look at Amoeba or ChessGuy's monthly IFTs.

OR, look at my own example in March, where I made 4 IFTs:

First 2 are allowed, as we all know.

Third was a <1% IFT (see sticky on the Account Talk main page) to increase S.

But the FORTH one! That's the one that is a good teaching example!!
For that one, I moved I to G, AND increased both my C and S with a <1% IFT.

BEFORE: G=0, C=38.9% S=46.2% I =14.9%

AFTER: G=14% C=39% S=47% I= 0

And it went thru without a hitch!

Somebody needs to congratulate you!
