With the close of markets on Thursday, March 3rd, the F-Fund and the ETF AGG are both confirming a move to CASH. GGT already has had these sitting in CASH, but another model I use to independently arrive at the same conclusion strongly confirms that you should not be in this bond fund at the present time.
On a related note, GGT has the ETF SPY, which is the S&P500, as recommending CASH. The other model I use, which does not consider volume, has the C-Fund completely LONG. GGT has the SPY in CASH because of the lack of volume, compared to historical strength, and is suggesting that we hold no positions in the SPY.
Whether this is prudent advice or not will reveal itsself in the next couple of weeks.

Do you have your retirement in the Government's Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)? If so, here's a method to move your funds in and out, subject to the 2x per month criteria, so that you don't get slammed the next time the market decides to go south. I use a system that I've developed to time this system to prevent major drawdowns while having fairly good yearly returns. I manage my wife's TSP fund with this technique, so it's for real.

AGG / F-Fund has moved Long
If you are trading the AGG or F-Fund as part of the TSP strategy, this moved long with GGT as of 11/5/09.
There are two portfolios that are managed with the GGT/TSP methodology: one uses the AGG, the other one does not. See the previous blog to get an idea of the overall performance.
If you are trading the 3-ETF portfolio, do nothing. You should be 100% in cash.
If you are trading the 4-ETF portfolio, you have two choices to allocation:
a) 25% of your portfolio,with the balance in cash, or
b) based upon a weighted performance of the last month, 42% of your monies would be allocated in the F-Fund, with the balance in cash.
Happy trading!
