Trick or Treat? It is definitely Trick. This month was scary. Not a single fund (save the G Fund) returned a positive return. For my long-term readers, I never invest in the G Fund because doing so is always negative due to inflation. To quote John Paul Jones, "He who will not risk cannot win." So, with that said-all the funds were negaitve this month. There was a small rally today in the S Fund, but it was not enough, leaving me with an almost 4% decline. I think I can safely say that we all can't wait for the elections to be over as the daily news cycle, almost hourly breaking news, and questionable polling data are leaving everyone wondering who will win on November 8th. I think the impact on the market cannot be overstated. My market indicators haven't been this bad since September 2008 through March of 2009. So even with the election coming to a head, we may not be out of the woods until the spring. However, during that period, I averaged a monthly return of 0.75%. I am once again shifting back to the C Fund at 100%, but don't be surprised if next month I'm back in the F Fund. Happy Investing!
