    Still kicking Still kicking, removal of fluid around right lung turned into a panic attack so they did not get as much as they could have, still got 400ml. It did provide relief.

    Federal pension systems’ unfunded liabilities skyrocket

    FERS has already been changed last year. New hires and employee's under so many years service pay more and get less. We current old guys have been grandfathered in just like the CSRS guys were or else you would have had a massive revolt. State workers in Illinois knew this was coming and it is...

    You said it!!! I feel exactly the same, which is why I bailed completely out of the I fund, but salted a small portion in the C fund thinking any movement will be more buffered there and I will still have some exposure to the market for the end/beginning of the month rally.

    Re: Oscar not affraid.................. As I look at all the charts tonight, things look a little top heavy and I pulled the trigger to exit the I fund. I left 25% in the C fund for any end of the month/beginning of the month window dressing and to lessen my risk a bit. Hope it works out.
