12%ayear's Account Talk

[12%ayear]

I will look into HSUS because we do have not only our own money but we have raised quite a bit in donations so I will look into this. I've talked to Beth Ostrosky - I don't know if you are familiar with her but she has put alot of money and time into the North Shore Animal League America and it is the world's largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption center. Because of the money my family has spent we connected thru people who do this professionally all the time.

We have talked from time to time as to the most efficient way we can best utilize the resources we have so believe me this is not on the back burner for any of us.



My goal for 2008 was the aston martin dbs (I know a little selfish on my part but I'm addicted to cars and racing - my only vice )and to raise as much money as I can personally and thru donations for these poor animals and I don't mean just dogs but all abuse animals. Everytime I go by the animal channel and see the unlimited cruelty of people it just breaks my heart and brings tears to my eyes but makes me more detemined to make as much of an impression on this problem as I can.



Hey people - there are alot of folks here and even if this isn't your thing anything you can do will give you a gold star from the big man watching us all.

no call for today 12%?

My gut is telling me we sell off triple digits... which makes be think we'll go up triple digits... but its raining outside so we'll sell off triple digits... which means its sunny somewhere else so we go up triple digits.

Hopefully the weather is a contrarian indicator in my neck of the woods today. Otherwise, I'll just have to sit here and wait for an anvil to fall on my head.

all the threads are quiet this morning! What's up?:blink:

Maybe Tracey Ray is limiting thread posts to 3 a month too? I'm already in violation of that and will have to reply to threads via snail mail.

Yes,what's going on? 12% are you on vacation? have not heard from you.
what is your move for next week? 3 IFTs a month ,what will you do? Thx:blink:

 

[Removed1]

My letter said if I went over 3 a month they would make me do the mail in route..

Anidoc, that was in my letter,if you do over 3 ifts/month,they will make you IFT by snail mail(they don't act on online IFT) then you will find out the hard way.we better have plan,anybody has any suggestion?
Actually it starts today 2/1/08,I think it also counts any times you in or out of G is 1 IFT.If you are sure it is just warning and it is not legal to limit us to manage our own money.plz check and let tsp members know for sure.Thanks.

It's good to know what the penalty is - how long would someone be relagated to the mail service. Six months, a year, or forever. Know the price you have to pay and then decide which penalty is appropriate to the sacrifice. Perhaps they have a sliding scale geared to the level of IFTs outside the guidelines.

 

[Removed1]

THERE ARE NO LIMITS. IT REQUIRES A REGULATORY CHANGE THROUGH RULEMAKING PROCEDURES WHICH HAS NOT BEEN DONE YET. All they can do is make us do it by snail mail. How they will do that is their problem, not ours. They can't simply ignore an online IFT because there are no limits on IFT's yet. If they do, they have violated existing regulations.

Zimmy, see the two threads on this matter, also www.tspshareholder.org.

Thanks Ani.

I went with 100% S for Fri. Was on the road and had to do the IFT early Thurs. Worked out great. I'm in for Monday also.

I didn't receive a letter, wonder what they will do to people who continue more than 3 IFTs but were not sent a letter. Are the letters certified?

posted above on Tuesday......IMO S FUND for Friday rally after Job report. Then the market can allow the .50% cut to sink in the markets.

Mine was not certified. I may be wrong but I believe that when a gummint agecy sends you a letter they consider you notified, and it doesn't even have to make it out of their building. Had some irs trouble once, and after a polite(almost) exxhange, they found the letter behind someones desk stuck on a plug.:notrust:

I really don't follow Howard Stern so I had no idea but she told me her thing is the bulldog although it was funny because she says she farts all the time. (the dog not Beth) LOL

I'm in L.A. most of the time and Sarah Shahi from the TV series Life - she was in the "L" word as well is a real chow lover and she has been out a couple of times to help out. Hey everyone's the same when cleaning up after animals - the great equalizer.

[Show-me]

Call the Board and request your 100 IFT forms.

 

[hessian]

Call the Board and request your 100 IFT forms.

But that's only a 3 month supply of Forms - is that enough? Hhhhuuummm, maybe request 1000? - at least ensure we have enough to cover next 9 months.

Sorry 12%, after thinking, I tried to delete, but apparently cannot :embarrest:
- desiring to return you to your regularly scheduled tread - truely!...

I had no doubt you'd be right on, as usual. I currently have a percentage in I, and, like Mojo said, may have to add some (more) -but that big FVtomorrow will take a big wet bite (oh well). The OSMs may also help out the USMs. Hope so! -Nice!

With an up day in the US markets tomorrow, those of us in the I Fund have the best opportunity for profit in a while. With virtually all of the world markets expecting gains tonight and tomorrow following the US market footsteps from the past week, and with the US $ at historic lows against the World $, maybe our market will give us a little boost today. Already the Asian markets are all up almost 2% tonight and the expectation for the European markets is excellent. We could drop a shoe tomorrow, but for now, to me, the stars are lined up for Monday morning on Wall St. If the gun goes off again like it did Friday, except this time with live ammo and not blanks, then we wouldn't mind getting screwed so bad by Barclay's when they try to decipher and de-justify the +FV. Just my feeble thoughts.
