You guys better take a hard look at the I Fund charts. It's going down.

TSPCALC 26841 moved to the I Fund on 8 March and moves out on 26 March. I call this the new and improved 7980: Avg 36.02, SD 11.94; a lower SD then 7980.

I've got to agree with Cron... That I Fund chart is a mess....
I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole...

:shock: I'm still trying to wrap my head around this stuff. What am I supposed to look at to tell me I Fund is a bad idea?

I'm bullish on the I Fund for this year (at least through September). We'll see afterwards.

I ran this chart for you. If you look at the technicals on the weekly chart, the PPO and MACD are telling you not yet. The daily(not attached) looks much more favorable with both the PPO and MACD showing buy signals, but until the cross over occurs on the weekly I don't like jumping in. Hope that helps.

http://www.forecasts.org/what-causes/wh ... market.htm
is a somewhat interesting article. Looking at the other information on the site, to me it looks like everything is mostly headed down.

I am retired and so no longer contributing new money so I am just hanging on with my current long term configuration.

What did the Fantasy Game Player say when he lost Tractor?

"Where's my Tractor"?

Did you roll your entire TSP Account?

I am showing as number three by account balance in the TSP Fantasy list.

I rolled all out at 59.5 years. I left the accumulation in from after that. I will eventually roll the rest out to Fidelity for more flexibility.

This year I have been mining cryptocurrency with one X11 and one SHA254 machine. It looks like I can do about $300 gross a month renting my machines to Nicehash. I really like DA$H and put a little money in NEPTUNE DASH TECHNOLOGIES CORP (NPPTF). I probably should have found a cryptocurrency ETF instead but I have only seen a few so far.
