Move TSP to G for a bit?

I’m staying put. Happy to buy at lower prices and not into selling my C fund at the moment.

It’s not “selling”. You can literally just exchange funds to G for however long you want and stay put without the risk of losing principle like with C. G doesn’t go down. Then shift it back to C later a you’ll get more shares cheaper.

Even though I fund is actually where gains will be made for a while. C was on a downward trend anyway.

My move will be to wait for more downward pressure and move from G to 80%I, 10% S and C 10%. It’s already working and you cucks saying it’s crazy are annoyingly wrong and short sighted.

You have to sell the C to buy the G. This is how an exchange works. You should not be contemplating any “moves” without understanding this.

I’m pretty sure that “exchange” is you selling C at a low and buying G.

Just keep making short-view moves, you kind soul. Let's check-in after 10 years, and then 20, which is my retirement horizon. We don't really have to, because I know where you'll be. You aren't the first, you won't be the last.

Nope. Drops are fine. I’m buying more for less.

I went to 100% G fund in 2008 and thought I was a genius- and then was a little late getting back in 2010, and wound up missing a big chunk of the recovery. Very hard to time the market.

No one can time the market. You might get lucky once or twice and good for you if you do.

Holding steady consistently outperforms attempts at timing.

Panic selling is a common mistake. Way to lock in your losses.

Op here. Read that article on “superforecasters”. I’m not that good, but it didn’t take a genius to see market drops this week. I may move back to 90% I and 10% C soon. Who knows. I’m thinking we have a lot more market slide ahead of us but that’s me. I will always want to have my tsp on equities if I can help it, but not this week and mostly likely month or longer. When oil is prob going to $150 soon you tell me what the right move is. Yeah yeah I get it I could just leave it in I fund, but if you can see where the market has a long way to slide you can take proactive moves like I did.

Hey dork, I sold before the massive drop in the past. I’m now in G and up. You are prob down.

Some people can only think in 5-minute increments.

Selling at these levels is hardly panic selling. It's very obvious things are not looking good. The much harder part is discerning the true bottom versus a dead cat bounce when debating when to get back in.

Whatever you say. I’m feeling good about staying out of the fray in the G fund for a weeks or longer. You can keep your money tied up in quantum or whatever stocks you’re in while oil is $200 a barrel.
