Funds going into the G Fund

It is quite obvious why large amounts of money are going into the "G"G Fund. Where else are you going to put it? The market turning around? Wishful thinking.
A slow progression back...

Might be wise for those heavily in the G fund at this time to think about heading slowly back into the stock funds.
I don't think it is smart to pick a bottom and launch your entire G fund into stocks. But a slow transfer once a week or even once a month could allow you to plan your transfers in accordance with the market trends.
Ultimately, I never put 1 cent into the G fund during this Bear market. Of course I am young:-)

Now is NOT the time for buying G fund shares. Its is time to buy C, S, and I. You can buy twice the shares per dollar right now.

The problem is, no one is telling gov't employees that you BUY LOW. Everyone is so focused on the $$ that they forget to look at the number of stocks they could be buying at bargain prices.
Too bad, really.

The best thing to happen to the TSP in recent years is the lifecycle (L) funds. Pump your money into these funds based on a estimated retirement date and hang on. By transffering money from stock funds into G funds now, you have effectively locked in your losses! As Bernie proved your gains and for that matter losses are just on paper.

All I know is I no longer look at what's left in my TSP account. I had close to $100,000.00 and I bet if I'm lucky I have $10.00 left. I think I'll give my $10.00 to AIG to help them out.
Bottom??

With all that's going on right now, can you really believe we're near the bottom? Really? I personally can't imagine folks feeling secure enough with all that's going on to push it up. Folks will continue to fear the uncertainty. As a result, they will not spend and jump into perceived safer environments. No spending, no jobs, no investing, no profits, etc, etc. I feel we'll see the DOW down under 5 before we begin to snap back. Oh, and I feel the bailouts will stretch it out longer than it should and the recovery will be longer than you can imagine, not a quick snap. That's all just my opinion of course. No one knows what will happen, no one.

I am afraid that if we put too much in the G fund, Congress will eye the money sitting there the way they did with Social Security and we will be on the losing end.
