| Timing the G Fund's Payoff |
 |
|
Hello All...
I have been following this site for a couple of weeks now. There seems to be a suggestion out there that the payout of the 1 cent rise in the G fund is predictable. Can someone enlighten me if this is true and what indicator do you watch to know when the G fund is going to tick up a point?
Thanks,
Bill

You also have to consider what profits you will forfeit by moving into G to do that.
Be careful...the goal is overall returns...too many people change the goal into 'how often I can time things right'**, often at the expense of profit.
**Yes, that sounds like gambling.

I agree that switching funds to collect the penny is probably not always smart. You risk losing gains in other funds on that day. I am merely curious to know if you can in fact know when the G fund will tick up.

Okay.. I took your advice. It seems that evry fifth day, the G fund ticks up a point. Who knew...Was right there for the observing all along.

Actually, I don't have a problem as I invest in anything but the G fund directly. I have some holdings thru the L4040 fund, but it is minimal as I have the pedal to metal. Can't see the point of moving back and forth as I know I am incapable of timing anything correctly. I do a periodic rebalancing, but that is it. I'm facinated that others move their money back and forth. There seems to be a good deal of folks who move to the G fund for safety when the tea leaves suggest it. I never rule anything out, but I don't see myself seeking the saftey of the G fund until I am retired. Nonetheless, its entertaining to read.
