    This looks like one of those setups that can actually fuel a rally. If prices simply hold steady, those heavily leveraged shorts may start feeling the heat and would need to buy to cover, potentially driving the market even higher.

    Up 30% and We're Only in July

    I need to take a second to highlight the top members of the TSP Talk AutoTracker. The current leader MRJ has reached a 30.0% return in 2025.. we're only four trading days into July! How cool is that? We have four other members with 2025 returns over 20%. Outside of 2020, we've had a couple...

    Retirement Withdrawal Options... Guidance Please

    Here is a fresh article from the Wall Street Journal on the best approaches to required minimum distributions (RMDs). The Best Way to Take RMDs From Your Retirement Accounts New research suggests an equal-installment strategy is best. Although a lump-sum approach works at times, it’s risky.

    S Fund

    While the S&P 500 (C-fund) is still fighting to trade near even for the day, the small cap index DWPCF (S-fund) has rolled into a potentially decent gain to start the new month. It is still early in the day, but this especially grabbed my attention because of the high demand for the C-fund...

    tsptalk's Market Talk

    I'm with you that the swapping of the L-funds can be done with the main five funds. But I can also imagine a TSP investor who holds a certain percentage in one of the Lfunds while using the remainder of their allocation to maneuver the markets in the main five. Sort of like how some investors...

    June 2025 AutoTracker Winners!

    Great job and fun to watch! There are some honorable mentions as well. These top five were among only 8 members to finish June with a better than the S-fund's 5.4% return. The three members who missed the prize pool cut-off are xsoljuhxpnoi929 (5.43%), Tailgate (5.41%), and ward5820 (5.41%)...

    June Contest In Progress

    Today is the final day of June and we have a close one in June AutoTracker Contest. Nordic has held the best return for the month since we started this thread in the middle of the month, but Pickles took over the number one position after Friday's market action. Pickles holds the number one...

    Share prices are late?

    I wonder if this is related to their unscheduled system maintenance. Y2K type stuff.

    June Contest In Progress

    The S-fund came charging back with yesterday’s rally and is now ahead of most in our June standings—only seven members still have better returns, and we’ve got just two trading days to go. Nordic is still hanging on to the top spot with a steady 50/50 split between the G and S-funds. But...

    Market News

    As U.S. companies rushed to import foreign goods ahead of potential tariffs, demand for foreign currency spiked — flooding global markets with dollars. This increase in supply put downward pressure on the dollar’s value. Both the dollar and the S&P 500 (C-fund) declined sharply in the first...

    June Contest In Progress

    Losses in the S-fund yesterday opened the door for some G-fund holders to climb the June standings. As of this morning, 13 members are now outperforming the S-fund for the month. One of those is Rangeman36, whose 100% G-fund allocation has temporarily pushed them into the top 5. But with the...

    June Contest In Progress

    The number of AutoTracker members outperforming the S-fund in June dropped from 10 to 6 yesterday, as a 1.5% rally in both the C and S-funds pushed more conservative allocations down the leaderboard. Nordic remains in the top spot, though their lead has narrowed. Notably, they are now the...
