401K/TSP Timing Signals
(Updated 12/1/15) 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 along with Breadth Thrusts 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.
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.
