Move TSP to G for a bit?

[Anonymous]

The truth is that every investor is human and therefore eventually makes a mistake when it comes to investing.Of course, most people won't admit this! The key is to not make big mistakes. Most investors go through a phase in which they attempt to beat the market in one way or another. If you can move on to a mindset that allows you to just accept whatever the market gives you, the likelyhood of making another big mistake will go way down.

If Iran doesn't surrender, they will destroy the refineries of Qatar. Trump has made it clear they won't get a second chance to strike back. 40% of the world's raw materials and energy, including fertilizer gone.

In such a situation sitting in anything but cash seems like idiocy.

Op here. Yep. Hence why I started this thread. I left equities a month ago knowing this was no ordinary time. I got out of I fund and into G fund. If I was wrong oh nooo I miss a month of stock gains and most likely jump back in to I fund. If I am right about worldwide oil issues and extended turmoil and scary sht then stocks will most likely tumble super hard and that’s what I was scared of. I guess we will see tomorrow what commander in chief chooses for the world.

Jumped to G fund today. Whatever happens happens. If I lose a little I still have plenty of time until retirement.

WOW! Your timing couldn’t have been worse…missing a +2.5% day will permanently stunt your portfolio. And now you have to sweat when to get back into equities.

And for the millionth time: pick an asset allocation that will let you sleep well at night, invest dutifully every paycheck, and don’t futz with it. This practically guarantees a 100% chance of success over 20+ years of consistent investing. Stand there, don’t do anything! This too shall pass.

Wild stuff. I wonder if they immediately got back in or are letting it ride? Get back in and you lock in an unnecessary 2.5% loss that amounts to something farily sizeable over the long haul. But if you don't, you risk the problem getting worse. Glad I never make rash financial decisions and ever have to worry about this stuff since I don't sell...

I’m actually glad I moved to G. That’s great the market moved up today. However, nothing is certain still. We are not out of the woods. I doubt this green will hold. I’m good and will jump back in when the time is right.

Op here. Why move it back the exact day after the most bullish news of the month? Couldn’t you tell the market would rally today? At least wait until tomorrow. Also, I am still not bullish on things. Anyone reading the latest news probably is not as well.

I’m not sure what you’re saying. I canceled the move to G fund last night when Trump backed down. So I was back in the L fund today for the rally. Where we go from here - who knows.

Op here. Yeah you better check you did that right. His truth announcement came after market hours after 4pm. Are you sure you cancelled in time? You can’t cancel an exchange after 4. Basically any exchange not down before 12am…is processed the next day. And you can cancel up to 4pm that day.

I just checked and I see the gains from today. Maybe I did the original request to G too late in the day yesterday and it wasn’t going to process for a day. I’m not sure.

Funny thing to say. Things are never CERTAIN when investing.

Oh look, the “cease fire” has already fallen apart, the strait is closer, bombs are still falling … I don’t think we’re out of the woods yet. Glad I’m chilling in G Fund for a bit.

I wish I’d gone to G when the war started. At this point I’m not sure it makes sense to jump.

Op here. Yeah I’m feeling fine about still being in G. Oh no I moved from I fund last month when values were super high and parked all that profit in G. And I missed one day of potential gains yesterday! Only for those gains to be erased again today! basically as I have been saying, and as shown by today’s jobless claims we are very shaky economically. We are going to have stagflation soon. This is why I am in G until stocks have fallen in value enough to jump back to I fund and buy them at a discount.

Keep justifying it. You make more and more sense every day. Gains were “erased today” - what are you even referring to?

Making massive moves to your retirement accounts based on 5% market swings is insanity and not a sustainable strategy.

He’s not making massive moves based on 5% swings … he’s making massive moves based on massive geopolitical train wrecks that are happening right before our eyes
