[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bet they didn't get back in. I'm not sure they even sold. I think this is a great thread for people to read trying to time the market with your retirement account. It could go down 5% tomorrow or just continue to melt up. The point is you are not "smarter" than the market especially as something just on the side. [/quote]

Come to gloat have we? Op here and I’m back! My little market timing experiment did NOT play out how I wanted, but what are ya gonna do. I’m now 77% I and 23% C fund and not even sure that’s a great allocation, but I’ll let it rise for a month or two before another IFT. Also, in FSELX and VITAX in the tsp mfw. I’m gonna let those ride for years. I know semiconductors and tech are at all time high but I think it is the future so…whatever. I’ve got a bunch of FGPMX in there too. Thats a gold fund.

My prediction is that warsh is confirmed. And we somehow redefine inflation, but at the same time inflation is secretly actually quite high and rising. Anyway, I’m hoping gold goes back up and hits new highs and at the same time tech falls so I can trade the gold for a lot more FSELX and VITAX.

Either way, I doubt I will market time the core funds again. Moving to G when you try to predict that a market shock (like a tariffs or an oil crisis) or will tank the market, and therefore rushing to the safety of G is smart,  so you can later get back in to C or I, is a fools errand. It’s more accurate that you might not be able to double guess. You might get the exit right, but not the reentry.

I still think we are fked with tariffs, debt, employment and yada yada,  but we will see what happens. The market can remain irrational longer than…[/quote]

OP now bullish on tech and gold.  The near-term top is close. [/quote]
