    Post Your "12-Month Personal Rate of Return"

    Wow, mine has dropped to 7.32%. My wife's which is just in the L2050 is 11.4%. I guess I'd be better off with mine there. :P (Actually, my lower performance is to be expected as I keep the conservative part of my portfolio in the G fund while the more aggressive is mostly in an IRA.)

    I love coins and might be interested. What is the process for ordering, paying, etc...?

    Post Your "12-Month Personal Rate of Return"

    It amazes me how fast it can change. "Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 09/30/2014 is 12.63%."

    Last Month's Best Fund Method Strategy

    You moved to I? Currently, it looks like the S fund is slightly in the lead.

    Alternate LMBF methods

    Thanks for the reminder! Being overseas and not getting Friday off I forgot that the market was closed.

    Alternate LMBF methods

    No, but I'm glad you asked as that got me looking closer into my history & I realized I didn't actually follow LMBF for all of 2012. I was a new hire in 2011 and started in Lifecycle fund through Q1 of 2012 which is when I found out about LMBF. Initially, I was trying a modified version of LMBF...

    Alternate LMBF methods

    I guess I've been doing somewhere between LBMF & LBMF-1. Being 12 or 13hrs ahead of the east coast it gets hard to do on the right day & I've been doing it a day early for awhile. It has worked out pretty good as I got a 20.75% return for 2012 so I think I'll just go ahead declare myself full on...

    Last Month's Best Fund Method Strategy

    Re: Last month's best fund method Doh! I was on vacation & forgot to check in to see which fund was the best & make my transfers. Now I'm unsure whether to do it late or just ride out S for another month. I think I'll just let it ride in S.

    TSP to ROTH TSP

    You don't do it through TSP.gov, but whatever payroll system your dept. uses. We use Employee Express so that is where I set my contribution amounts to each of the Roth & Traditional TSP. You only go to TSP.gov if you want to change what funds your contributions go to. It doesn't seem to be...

    seven's account talk

    I found the "Last Month's Best Fund" thread & kind of like that approach in that you don't really have to think about it, but the results seem to be pretty decent. Recently I've been concentrating more on whether to switch to Roth TSP or not. The option went live for us today and I'm still not...

    TSP to ROTH TSP

    Wow, I just scrolled down & re-read the chart & have no idea what was wrong with me on that day. LOL

    TSP Roth Option

    Yeah, it just went live on Employee Express for us so I made some changes. I'm still not 100% certain which (or if either) is completely better for me, so at the moment I'm splitting between Roth & Traditional.

    TSP to ROTH TSP

    Am I reading that chart right that says we I can only put in $5,000 to the Roth TSP? I thought it was going to be the same $17,000 contribution limit regardless of whether you used Roth or not.
