Pending Moves to F

Post by honeybee »

Very new here and trying to understand the seasonal strategies. Just noticed a lot of people with pending moves to F fund. Is that a seasonal mix that I missed? :?

Unlikely anything to do with seasonal. I don't think any of the daily mixes at http://tspcalc.com use F in July and the other seasonal mixes don't typically change mid-month (those with stop loss mechanism wouldn't apply). Many people that try and time the market often seek safety (G or F Funds) when the market is reaching all time highs.

I was going to state the same thing. Many seasonals point to being in C or I starting next week(I fund certainly had a nice run today though). With the Dow and S&P reaching historical highs, many are trying to predict a hard crash soon which would cause some significant losses to those playing the market. However, recent strategists are stating that we are looking to continue this bull run in the market until 2018 so at least you have a small vote of confidence that things are still going up for now. Personally, every time I went F fund, I found myself sadly disappointed :)
