I made the move yesterday to the C fund, like everyone else it seems. Cringed when I hit submit because for the first time this year I feel like I’m chasing the market, and yea we’re going to have a pullback sometime this month. I wish I was already all in to start the month. Now I’m down to one IFT left and can def see myself sitting on the sidelines in the G mid July. And with today’s market, and the Fed decision, that might be a bad place to be if things bounce back towards the end of the month.

There is going to be a rate cut this month. I did F 50%, S 25%, and C 25% as I like to Ham and Egg it. I am not an all in sort of person. I think the time to go G fund will be soon, I want to see what the Fed will do.

No change for me. I generally wait for the 10-day SMA to not bounce at the 50 SMA to move to the G or another rising star. Thanks for the URL!

I’m right behind you. (70% C, 30% I). I ran to G in the last trading day of June (after some good earnings) and now I’ll be out of IFT’s already. Hopefully I can ride out a couple of weeks and make some gains.

i don’t think it’s smart to buy the market at all time highs when the small caps are lagging behind

Hey guys, general question here. If I’m 100% in C with my interfund transfer, but 100% S with my contribution allocations, how does that work??? Where does that money go once I buy the S?

When you made the interfund transfer of your then balance into C Fund, that only affected what you had in the TSP at that time. It remains there until you say otherwise.

Your contribution allocations (along with any automatic and matching funds) will go into the S Fund, until you say otherwise.

So as of now you have part of your holdings in C and part in S.

Makes sense, thanks!!!
