401K/TSP Timing Signals
(Updated 1/2/11)

This page gives all of the Buy and Sell Signals using our Market Timing System which focuses on the S&P 500.  We use our Mutual Fund Panic Index to time Buy Signals and then use a combination of Hussman and Hindenburg Omen  Signals to time Sell Signals.  For those that are government employees and use the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) these signals pertain to the C Fund.   We advise that when there isn't a Buy Signal to have your money in the G Fund for people who are using the TSP.

Monthly Analysis

We got a Long term Sell Signal in December of 2010 so positions were exited at the end of the month for a gain of 58% from the Long Term Buy Signal that was triggered in March of 2009.

The Long Term Primary Buy and Sell Signals are based on being fully invested in a Fund that tracks the S&P 500.  For Government Employees the C Fund tracks the S&P 500.
