I didn't read all the post but the correct answer is... NO ONE knows. We are all guessing.

But seasonally the "F" is suppose to be the best fund for June. But that is no guarantee that S/C/I will do bad or worse than "F"
I am just an average Joe. I have no clue to what the market will do.

I'm concerned about going I for the near future. This is due to the Italian elections that will be coming soon again. As of now the date isn't clear, but more than likely 5 Stelle and Liga Nord will win even more support. If that happens, then they could try to leave the Euro area and maybe even the EU. That would be a huge punch in the gut for the I Fund.

Long story short, beware of this potential.

In the short-term, the Dollar is gaining strength. I suspect we'll see some more gains through June. I expect July and August to see a surge in the Euro so being in I might be good for a short-term adventure.

At the end of the day, who knows?

Best,

Too late now. I’m already caught up in it after today’s loss. Might as well ride out another 10% loss this year.

I'm thinking about switching to -I- tomorrow or Thursday. I have one more regular interfund transfer left for this month, and I generally prefer not to enter a new month in the -G- fund. Any thoughts?

I'm going part G, C and S with a tiny sprinkle in I. I think June is going to bring on a few more hiccups, but given that the tax cuts are finally trickling down into dividends, I expect the next quarters to be gainers for C and S (remember that S is a combination of mid and small caps, not only small caps).

Enjoy!
