[quote=Anonymous]We currently have 100% in C funds. We decided to this after doing a little research and finding an investment strategy that went something like this (my husband knows it better and watches the markets better than me so I'll do my best) Invest 100% in C Funds, if the market going down, hold tight unless it gets below the 20 month moving average (some people use a 200 day, you can vary this), then move 100% of your money to G funds, but keep buying C. Allocate your assets back to C when the market returns to the 20 month moving average or when the price to earning ratio is below 15. We looked at graphs that demonstrated how this strategy would have worked over the last 50 years, and it's not perfect, you would lose some money when market started to plummet and miss some of the peaks and valleys, but overall you would do better than just buying and holding and it is a very simple strategy. I can't find the website we originally used, but here is a similar strategy: http://dontfearthebear.com/tsp/
