    Hmmm. Okay (?) IDK - though I see & hear credible reports that ships/ shipping from Asia at least is down very considerably already but US economy/ consumers haven't felt the effects of that yet, but that it is coming quite precipitously and will last at least for many months & have global...

    Hmm... I've not Xfer'd any of my TSP to my IRA in over a year so I don't recall for sure; though I thought you could do so Directly by going through the the setting up of Xfer-account so you'd bypass them sending your withdrawal to you (your bank acct.)(??)... if you cannot do it direct - for...

    The Tariff Talk

    Yup. That's likely in addition to likely big cut to US soybean exports to China per a couple of NPR reports (today & a few days ago); our farmers are on the brink of not able to stay above water, during dt's 1st term tariff stuff - we permanently lost large chunk of market share for that crop to...

    Epic's Account Talk

    Yah Mr. "weather"weenie... you might be retired already (?) but if not then your attitude & statements supported by history/facts could, in addition to being seen my some as wrong/ misguided/ fakey-news-lies, be seen as disloyal making big-Orange-guy angry and you could be fired along with so...

    Epic's Account Talk

    Uhmmm, okay then. Maybe you saw the "pause" coming yesterday & immediate skyrocket stock prices-- well enough ahead of our TSP cutoff, maybe even you pulled all your TSP to G & F at high-point(s) in C, S, I in recent couple of weeks & then did IFT to put it all back into C & S this Monday (?)...

    Whipsaw's Account Talk

    Hopefully you have outside brokerage-accounts/ investments besides TSP; and if you are old enough, can transfer a lot of your TSP funds to IRAs -- then you can manage/invest on your own timelines and in your own ways and means, not beholden to the horrible TSP IFT rules/ limits. ... if not...

    Did you mean you "bought your Shorts-short-positions to cover" on or just before last Saturday... or that you actually sold shorts just before the spring-summer hot season? If you covered some good short-positions, then congrats as you likely did pretty well... especially if you then spent the...

    The Tariff Talk

    Hmmm, is is not also possible that the $15 is actually less than, say 5%, of the 20% import-tariff & the retailer and/or the exporter/manufacturer took a 10%+ hit on the whole deal to keep & not shock the customers too much?

    Boghies Account Talk

    Thx for explaining. You've been a member of this site about a year longer than I have, though I didn't comment much if at all for years but I recall regularly reading ole-Burrocrat's comments (RIP) too... always did wonder about his "Ark". As ya might guess from my logo here, I'm a predator cat...

    Boghies Account Talk

    THX for posting-sharing, & forgive if mine a dumb-?. In your prior post today, did you mean you are investing (outside of TSP) in antelope (or maybe that whole sector of hoofed-herbavors?)... or (maybe and/or) is the above TSP allocation one you just IFT'd into today (& if so, was that the...

    Interesting, & thx for posting the link. I wasn't familiar w/that 1929-30 Tariffs Act & results. Yes - history shows that Act was "stupid"... wow. Well, my digressionary investments are somewhat 'TRIMMED' too and I've been in 100% G with my TSP for over a week now -- so yes 'whew'.

    Celebrity RIP Garden

    I appreciated his acting a lot... did not follow nor know anything about his person/ personal life. I had to "gulp" at the news as I realized here that we were close in age (as in "Sad, he died too young..."); I wonder what his Medicare decisions were upon his 65th b-day & did he have troubles...
