Thanks, but if the latest move to S "was predicated on the expected 'Santa Claus Rally'," that's a short term move/expectation that misfired (as you said).  It would be very useful to know if Sarah and others who made that move are staying "parked" in S for the longer-term in hopes that it will crawl out of that hole, or did she/anyone switch to another fund since Nov?  Thanks again.

To be clear.  TSP Strategy is not a short term trading group.  Not a swing trading or intermediate trading group.  The horizon is much further and can properly be classified as a long term trading group.  Sarah attempts to time the market once or twice a year.  The move to the S fund a few months ago was predicated on the expected 'Santa Claus Rally."    In most years that works, it didn't in 2021.   To avoid trading park your money in one of the funds and keep it there.
