Do not be afraid of the roller coaster... enjoy the ride... everything is under control...
I like roller coasters just not in the stock market. For that kind of ride you need to have your sticky pants on.
May the force be with us.

Thanks for the IN/OUT dates, TSPIntel. As a point of clarification, are these before noon dates so you would be in/out of the S Fund on the following day?

Before 11:00 am Central Standard Time (CST) or before Noon Eastern Standard Time (EST) on those dates... remember to be cautious using those dates...
I am exiting the S-Fund on 7/31/2014 before 12:00 AM, EST or before 11:00AM, CST.
My Next Enter is on the S-Fund on 8/7/2014 before 12:00 AM, EST..........
Ok, a newbie here who "lives in a state of confusion" with the in and out activity before 12:00 EST. I understand TSP states;
"An interfund transfer requested before 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on a business day will generally be processed that night."
My question is: When does this transaction actually occur? Because in the past, I've had instances when initiated an IFT before 12:00 EST and not been beneficiary of a move. So I concluded the transaction occurred after the daily fund settlement. Please help me with my understanding. For what it's worth, I am currently 100% G Fund and personally think the market is over bought.
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!
What, the IFT didn't occur at all or it occurred a day later than expected? If you IFT before noon eastern time it should go into effect at the end of that day so you are in the new allocation at the start of the next business day. Yes, the transaction occurs after the daily fund settlement just like a mutual fund. That essentially is what our index funds are.
