I am retired and 100% in the G Fund. I will be reallocating some of my TSP money back into the TSP stock funds soon. I got out of the stock funds before the market tanked. Many fund managers are advising the latest stock market advances are speculative and they are urging caution because market fuundamentals are still very poor.

The article is very good. It subscribes to the theory that even the experts do not know where it is going.
I do not like the headline as it suggests an u market. Hopefully it will happen, but the article suggests caution and uncertainty.
Historical Revisionism

I don't think there should be historical revisionism allowed at this website. You are fostering misinformation about the past.
1) The depression stimulus money worked, it stopped working when the president bowed to political pressure and cut spending later.
2) World War II was government spending, duh.....

Perhaps "historical revisionism" is a good thing as our history books tell us that Roosevelt ended the depression. Perhaps he did, but only after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and Hitler took over most of Europe--hardly part of the new deal.
Unfortunately, in today's society, simply stating two different points of view may qualify as "historical revisionism" if the person taking offense does not see full adoption or cheerleading for his particular point of view.
good article; I was not aware of our current stock market's similarity to the 1930's and that the new deal did not seem to have any impact until two years into the war--if it had any positive impact at all. It should give all of us concern for our current direction in spending and investing

but to those who keep knocking the new President's current plan, I say, if you have something better to add or make the market and economy better then by all means share!!! If not, then wait and see, its easy to be a heckler, it takes intelligence and courage to come up with a solution....

No. Unemployment is still on rise. Foreclosures are still on rise. This is a fool's market. Less equities (stocks); more balance and cash is king.
historical charts are neat to look at, but...

Sell high...buy low.
Don't buy into rallies...sell into rallies...
Charts cannot help you with above common sense approaches.
And, forget what the talking financial talking heads are saying on a daily basis...next week they will be saying something different. Nobody knows the future.
Those that believe follow chartists - just missed out on an unbelievable rally and are, probably, foolishly buying now...
Last...never forget the old stock market adage: Walk away in May...come in SEP/OCT. This summer we all will have another great buying opportunity. Be patient.
Good luck.

What happens when the Chinese cash in their T-Bills? Given the concerns in China concerning our spending and economic conditions, the possibility certainly exist and I'm not sure if the present administration is prepared to address the issue.

I'm wondering if the "market timers" bought back into the c, s, and i funds yet...or did they miss large, short term gains, as it the danger?
