I had been hanging out in C/S/I but when I read about the "swing trading," I figured I'd give a try. I had been hanging out in G after a good drop and rise, then moved to 100% C when it dropped after the Brexit. I made out pretty well on that. When the market quickly recovered, I went to 80% G and stuck 20% in the I Fund since I felt there were still gains to be had there. That has worked out well but C has been going up too! I've been missing out on some of that, but that's ok. It involves daily involvement; otherwise you could miss a good drop or rise in the market. If you don't get your IFT in by noon EST, you could really lose quite a bit (or not gain as much, however you want to look at it).
I wouldn't consider today's .5% drop a "dive". It'd have to drop much more than that for me to get back in to the C Fund. I usually pre-determine the S&P 500 levels for me to get in / get out by watching the ticket symbol $SPX. If it gets below 2050ish, I'll likely get back into the C Fund and unfortunately it might be a while until that happens. It also like to read the advice on the "Thrift Savings Plan" facebook page. Lots of great info on there, for swing traders and holders.

Does anyone here play the strategy to jump in every time the stock market takes a dive, and then get out when it goes back up? I know its risky but it seems to follow a pattern that i might be willing to try. It took a dive today, so i was thinking of jumping back in.
