    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...

    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 (?)...

    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...

    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...

    JTH's Account Talk

    OUCH, that 2003-04 comparison with now looks ominous & a bit scary... yet I'd take it -- with the proviso that 2025 doesn't turn out greatly worse than that, which is a fear that I fear is a significant possibility, and if not so this year - then look out for such really tough times in '26-27.

    Exnavyew's Account Talk

    Good article - cogent & prescient - though it is happening as we speak, and a lot (of bad, long term, impactive) things and events have already happened - like watching a live huge wreck (train, freeway cars and trucks, container ship, airliner... take your pick) happening live with now way for...

    tsptalk's Market Talk

    Hmmm, nearing the close today, the 'next' day, & the market results look a bit undecided.... like our tank is in 'neutral-steer', spinning in circles a bit. I put off decision to submit an IFT to wade in off the lily-pad until tomorrow morning, as did my wife who held off on her IFT to pull her...

    Whipsaw's Account Talk

    Nope... I didn't do it - stayed 100% G. Not only did I wake up too late to study this site & the markets for the morning (I'm on the West Coast & retired, so 0900 comes up fast), but a subscription service I use some is too uncertain on if we are at or near lows - or if it'll drop more; too much...
