I did the math. I "sold" the S&P 500 at the close on Friday. I "bought" the S&P 500 at the close on Tuesday.

If you request a transfer to C/S on Sunday, you will buy into the funds at the Monday closing price, right? How does staying out of C/S 12 days each year figure into your calculations?

You can't compare one day, that's anecdotal. We would need a statistical comparison. I was referring to three-day weekends in particular, not a one day holiday in the middle of that week. That situation would not make sense. And, yes, if the timing was consistent, I may think about moving to the G fund on a Friday at the end of the day and moving back into the S/C funds on Sunday to be back on Monday by noon.
