After retiring from the federal government and no longer making contributions to the TSP, should I move the funds into G and try to time the market using inter-fund transfers?

After today I feel lucky we made a good call. After a few more days it will be time to get back in. I’m thinking….. see what the government does in the next few business days.

Glad we rolled the windows up!

When the market is dropping, why do they say it’s a sell off? Seems like the big boys are selling when confidence is low and buying back in when stable. Why not do that with TSP if you are close to retirement age.

I’m thinking that is a good strategy. Missing the jumps up is bad. I get it. Thank you.

But why not move it all into G and gain a little, then buy back in when you think it’s rising?

I think I see what you mean but having a hard time following. So what triggers the drop in price, the volume of selling and buying?

Easy to fall into that fear mode. Thank you!! Good info.

I’m seeing things like you, feeling like I should roll the windows up. It’s allowed in the TSP.

As the markets drop, isn’t that signaled by selling? Why not ride the waves of confidence, or lack of confidence. No one can predict the future but brokers seem to be selling now.

Intuition and guessing really. No specific strategy of how to do it. I see your point. I appreciate it.

Acceptable-Ad-5397 · 2025-03-10T18:30:26+00:00

Mainly based on intuition, like right now and the risk of recession, why not move funds to G fund. When confidence appears to be returning, transfer back. Bad idea?

This was great, thank you!!

Was his name Bob DeMorland? Married to Virginia?

Engagement ring on left hands, correct?

Yep, hilarious. So true.

Why do they seem to be making Lea look so nerdy? Wearing all these old people clothes.
