    Request For Comments

    imported post Asian, At some point I'd like to get into S and I, however, I wanted to get the most sharesthat I possibly could in equities and to build those shares up. If the market loses some steam Aug/Sep I'll get even more shares and that should make Oct-Dec that much sweeter. :D

    Request For Comments

    imported post I'm following BT's lead. I went 100%C 13 July and I've committed to stay at least until Jan 06. Now that I'm paying attention to the market I will have a harder time staying in the saddle.Before becoming a member here, I closed my eyes for 16 years being inTSP. I don't see why I...

    GGal's Account Talk

    imported post Yes, you are correct in your concern. First of all, as all members would agree is that none of us are professionals, so in the end our comments are only opinions and that we each need to make an educated guess on what we decide to do. I rely heavily on Tom's (tspgo) opinions, he...

    imported post Oh! one more thing. I would have liked to have gotten into S andI funds with about 20% each, but I took BT's recommendation on that too and bought more sharesby going allC. :^

    GGal's Account Talk

    imported post GAWGA, I'm not new to TSP, but I'm certainly wet behind the ears when it comes to watching my account. I've made at least 14 IFTs since April 18, before taking BT's advice and went 100%C at 13.19 a share. I thought I was buying in too high then. I'm glad I did it. Now, I need...

    C-fund

    imported post Dave, I just realized I hadsent a response to your loan question. No big deal. I just feel awkard since I've never participated in any kind of a chat room before, which I think that is what this is. It's been a great source of information from all of the members and even some of...

    C-fund

    imported post stebbins777, I hope you don't mind my tagging on to your thread. But I wanted to ask BT a couple of other (probably dumb) questions about being 100% into the C-fund. BT, The 4-parts that you posted above seem pretty much straight forward, but I have a few questions running around...

    loans

    imported post I agree with Mike wholeheartedly. 2000-2002 would have been a good time to borrow, but I borrowed 13k in 2003, just when equities were making a comeback. I borrowed so that I could put 20% down on my home and knock a couple of points off of my mortgage. I’m still not certain how...

    Push your Senators to S1313

    imported post Grandma, I whole heartedly agree that this is a flagrant misinterpretation of the original intent of the 5th amendment. It was never intended for private use, regardless if the transfer would benefit the community through increased economic development. I can barely imagine the...

    Short versus Long

    imported post BT, Yes, I believe I'll hang in the C to buy shares. I'm trying to decide if I should combine my 15% S & 15% I to one or the other for a 30% total in one fund. I looked for your account talk on 7/4/05, but I guess I didn't know where to look. I assume the date is 7 Apr 05. Where...
