The best part about G is that it doesn’t lose money. Ever. And once the market continues to slide, I will slide my azz right back to I and have maaaany maaaany more shares than I did when I left. You CAN time things if you read a broad section of news and can reason.

It looks to me like the taco trade has started already. So idk, but I'm back in.

And how’s that going?

Scary. We're in a detente ex US situation. It's a powder keg that could blow up, but until then I should do well. If it does blow, I don’t think G will help me anyways

Not real sure what we can do. I am seeing stagflation. We get a couple of teaser Green days here and there lately but overall trend is down. Easier to sit in G for another month maybe two and see if it slides further. If not, back in to I! My strategy has already saved me a ton of capital. Might not work for others, but it has for me. I mean at this specific point in time.

I had a friend who was very proud of his strategy and his moving in and out of funds. He liked to share his returns. It did sound great. Until I went to check my returns and mine always beat his year on year by doing nothing. But he enjoyed it so I suppose it’s worth it.

Okay, that’s cool. Still happy I’m in G right now. Who knows. Maybe I’ll regret the move. I am normally a 100% or 100% I (in last year) fund, full on equities person. I also hold FSELX, FPADX and other funds in the mutual fund window. But these last few weeks…yeah dude. I’ll sit this one out.

I meant 100% C was my move for the last many years. Then 100% I. Now G. I am generously concerned about continued market drops. I will buy back 100% C or I later.

Market will tank if Dems retake Congress in November. They will add a plethora of new taxes, increase existing taxes, cater to their CCP masters, stymie free enterprise, and impart their socialist agenda on the American people. Adjust your investments accordingly.

Wow. That’s…an opinion. And how are we doing at this specific moment in time? How do you think the Fed meeting will go today and why will it go the way it does? How is the market right now? How is oil? Any thoughts? How are we viewed internationally? Please do expound.

No - it won’t. The market will continue to rise over the long term and is generally agnostic to politics. If for some reason you have any cash on the sidelines, now would be a great time to start buying S&P index funds given that we are slightly down to a stupid war.

Nah, zero job creation according to Powell. Inflation. Energy shocks. Think I’m gonna stay in G for a while then throw it in I fund later. You can go ahead and buy NBIS or whatever it is you think is a good bet right now. I still see macro issues going better.

*need to see macro issues improve before throwing back in C fund or I fund.

Moving to to 100% G is stupid if retirement is more than a decade out. Most professionals will tell you that. Everyone who moved to G during the market uncertainty in the dot com, Great Recession, the pandemic is doing worse than people who remained invested. It’s almost impossible to be right twice every time there’s a major event.

It’s been working for me. I’ve preserved 100% of my capital in G since I moved it like 9 days ago or whatever. Enjoy your stock drops. Been some big ones the last week. Might dip my toe back in next week or next month. But I still have the feeling we have yet to see the bottom..
