Effective with the close of markets on 9/11/13, my TSP timing system has confirmed a move long. I have entered the order with www.tsp.gov to move from 100% G-Fund (cash) to the following aggressive allocations:
Aggressive:
C-Fund: 18%
I-Fund: 49%
S-Fund: 33%
For those of you who would like to be less aggressive, a more conservative allocation is as follows:
Conservative:
C-Fund: 23%
F-Fund: 8%
I-Fund: 38%
S-Fund: 31%
Because my order is entered before noon ET, it will take place with the closing prices of 9/12/13.
To date the system has returned the following:
Key here is that the system gets you out of a trade relatively quickly, limiting the downside. I took a few months off this past year so my actual blended performance is lower:
Note that this was with virtually no drawdown.
September is classically a terrible month so we'll see if this signal holds.
Regards,
Paul
