Well unless someone else knows something I don't know...It probably has to do with the seasonality of the markets, in particular the I fund has it's best performance in April (on average) on many of the tracked seasonal mixes that Aitrus tracks. That would be my guess...
Cheers!

Current Strat: Loosely following 152300 and 85660 more the former rather than the later
Current PIP: 24.04

As others have already noted, many are following one of the seasonal strategies from the Seasonal Musings 2017 thread.

Keep climbing S I need 1% today to break even for the month. I almost held off moving to I fund for a few more days, but sticking to the seasonal and hoping for the best.

Agreed, though I only need another .2% from the current DWCPF gain to hit my break even point.

Just went through the Seasonal Musing 2017 thread. I agree, this and Timbo's move to I caused the big move.

I moved due to the seasonal. Looks like a lot of others did the same.
