    The VIX

    Yep and the SPX got close to that gap left from last May. We touched the top of the May 3 2024 gap up on the daily but didn't close it. Needed to drop about 50 points. With this uncertainty who knows if that will happen or worse case there are some still open gaps further down from Nov 23 I...

    Buyouts to nearly all federal workers?

    For those who didn't get the email it's on OPM's website title "Fork" in the top tabs. There is also a Frequency Asked question (FAQ) section. As for me I still have a job to do for a bet longer to reach 20 years. So unless there was a VERA/VSIP offered by my agency I will still be here a bit...

    WorkFE's Account Talk

    I will assume the RUT is in or very near correction levels by now. I know our S fund has to be getting close and unfortunately, I bought near the top as my plan said to go in for the Santa (non) rally. Sit and wait game in play now.

    JTH's Account Talk

    Wish I had waited a couple of days to make my move, but it is what it is. Something told me to give is a couple more days and then move but my plan said to go so I'll ride this out and just not look at it until after Thanksgiving.

    DreamboatAnnie's Account Talk

    I think for me it's the idea of getting closer to retirement, so my risk avoidance is pretty high. I would love to see the 15-20% but I am pretty gun shy after witnessing what happened to some friends who were within a year or so of retirement back in 07-09 financial crisis who lost so much in...

    The new TSP website is an unmitigated disaster!

    Can someone please tell me where the option is on the site to request a TSP distribution or an annuity on the new site. I am still a couple years away but the old site would allow you to simulate. Maybe the new site doesn't give you this option until you are ready but I don't even have an option...
