Bonds slightly weaker

Happy Groundhog Day!
We’ve been sticking with the G Fund (“Money Market”) and the F Fund (“Total Bond”) for months, and they are still the only TSP funds worth considering. Stock funds continue to lose money at an incredible rate, so we are staying clear of them. For example, the I Fund (“Europe Pacific”) has dropped almost 12% in the past month alone.
We pick the mix of funds that maximizes the expected returns while not exceeding a fixed maximum risk. Bonds still look good, though they have weakened a little since mid-January. We are thus moving some money out of them and putting it in the money market.
