[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should not be trading in your actual retirement account if you want to maximize returns. Even if you get this specific moment right, you'll totally f' it up the next time or the next time. You do not have more insight than the market, but I guess you'll have to learn the lesson the hard way. Knowing when to "jump back in" is just as hard as knowing when to "step out".

Have a plan and stick to it, but you can ignore very obvious tested advice at your own peril.  [/quote]

No regrets here. In fact, I actually bought VGELX and VENAX recently in the TSP MFW.

You seem to think we will bounce back quickly. I couldn’t agree less. If you read the news you’d understand. The market hasn’t fully priced in the ramifications of all this oil uncertainty.

TLDR; I made the right move three weeks ago moving out of 100% I fund into G. In doing that I have preserved all the gains I made in I fund over the year. Once I feel like there is any ray of light I will move back to C or I or some split thereof.

Either way, I timed this correctly. I’m sure “you can’t time the market” is mostly 95% correct, but in this case I have timed the market correctly. [/quote]

Yeah you did well. You don't need to time it perfectly -- you might decide to get back into stocks before the absolute bottom -- but you'll better off for making this move when you did, most likely. [/quote]

Thanks. The more I read I cannot lose the fear that right now, this moment in time, is fking insane. It is. This is one of the biggest fking blunders in the history of our country. I am staying the fk in G for a long time. This is depression era mistake time. I feel bad for the whole world how fked up things are. Anyone with a brain can see it.[/quote]

You have so much to learn - if it was that easy we'd all be rich. Just wait and see (and yes I hate our current state of affairs, but have learned from .com/housing bubble/credit crisis that these are impossible to time correctly). Hope you have figured out the secret, but just giving you a giant warning sign that you haven't. [/quote]

We are headed for either a massive recession or a Great Depression. You just don’t see it yet. I am so fking glad I screwed around and times this movement when I did. You think the market is flying up in the next few weeks? Do you even read about CPI, Inflation, revised down numbers? It’s you who has a lot to learn.

Normally, in the good old days, I was set it and forget it C fund. Not right now! You have no fking clue how fked things are do you? Fox fan?[/quote]

Your toast, homie. Emotional investors never win over the long term. [/quote]

That’s sage advice, but my move to G several weeks ago definitely worked. It wasn’t rocket science. Now I can jump back in C or I whenever. It’s not like the market will stop sliding downward soon. It’s called Buy Low, Sell High. And right now I am hundreds of thousands higher than I would have been.[/quote]

Amazing,  dude is outperforming hedge funds.[/quote]If that was meant as sarcasm, lol to assuming hedge funds beat the market.[/quote]
