Good discussion points on S versus C. Keep in mind the S&P500 is heavily weighted in favor of a handful of stocks. Even if the entire market is green and just a handful of S&P500 stocks are red...

Did anyone notice that our payment into TSP didn't happen until Tuesday 6/3? It has always occurred on the Saturday before payday or in this case 5/31. Does anyone know why this happened? Is this...

It will be very difficult to develop any system that can't allow multiple moves in a month. Most systems I can think of would get you out of the market after it has already started back down and...

COB 11/9/07 100% S-Fund

I have been sitting back watching the action lately. I remain 60 S 40C. Will probably move to 100S COB Friday. I think next week might be a good one.

Nice close. Looks like the S is up 0.25 or 0.26 for the day. Not sure how they treat rounding.

10/25/07 IFT COB to 60% S, 40% C

After yesterdays market action, I was thinking we might have found a solid bottom and was preparing to move "All In" COB today. However, now the market is dropping. The S fund was down another 0.5%...

The same holds true for the DW4500. We are still about 8 points above Monday's low so I think the SP500 will be the real test. If it breaks down, then DW4500 will follow. Tough call on whether to...

Current estimate on S fund is down 35 cents (-1.71%).

Ugly day for the S fund. I hate the spot we are in right now. We have to make a decision by noon if we are in or out of the market and yet, the market has to decide this afternoon whether it will...

Today's rebound and positive close look good. The next few days should tell where we stand. We may see a pullback and retest of todays low which would be another opportunity to jump in provided the...

I am going to sit in G until I see a bottom. RSI has been as low as 40 today. At this point, I believe it is more likely to continue to drop to the 30 level than to go back up. Maybe by the end of...

10/19/07 IFT COB to 100% G Fund

I am kicking myself here this morning for jumping back into the S the other day. The charts were not clear. By this I mean, it could have gone either way (continue down or rebound) and I moved back...

I even have my toes crossed.

The S Fund just went green after being red all morning. Current estimate is up $0.03. Hope it holds. I am staying in the S fund for Friday.

I think tomorrow could be a good one. Keep your eye on the Nikei tonight. That will be the catalyst. Today actually came out ok with a small gain of around 1/4%.

10/16/07 COB IFT to 100% S

I have just been doing some chart analysis and found some interesting numbers. The DW4500 has currently retraced 45% of its September 25 low, 75.7% of its October 4 low and its RSI has dropped down...

Sorry I missed some of the blog late last week. I was on my RDO and was busy on a garage sale deal over Friday and Saturday mornings. I am staying put in the G fund most likely for the rest of this...

RSI on the DW4500 has hit the 70 mark. I am weary of a pullback down to the 50 level on the RSI. The index has been almost straight up for the past 2 months or so. Could be due for a sizeable...

S fund is down about a half a percent today. Glad I moved to the sideline. I plan to stay in G for the next few days.

S fund is currently up 0.24. I'll take it! A review of the chart is telling me that the S fund will probably be up on Tuesday as well but I have decided to play it safe with the Holiday weekend and...

One of my co-workers has not recieved his. He is in CSRS and is making his own contributions to TSP. Are either of you who haven't recieved an account number in CSRS? I am in FERS and recieved my...
