12%ayear's Account Talk

[hessian]

THERE ARE NO LIMITS. YOU CAN TRADE AS OFTEN AS YOU WANT. ALL THEY CAN DO IS "REQUEST" THAT TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF 2 BE MADE BY MAIL. IF THEY LOCK YOUR ACCOUNT AFTER 2 TRADES, POST ON THE APPROPRIATE THREAD. IF YOU LOSE MONEY BECAUSE THEY DON'T ALLOW YOUR IFT, YOU HAVE A CASE. AND SO DO WE. THE SUPREME COURT JUST DECIDED A CASE IN FAVOR OF AN EMPLOYEE BECAUSE HIS 401K DID NOT MEET ITS FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY.

Hi Anidoc,
I agree/know the arguements/and about recent SC ruling -just wanted to let folks know, it will be coming -"to all TSP participants's in their "Annual TSP Statement" (12% made comment on not getting a letter). Agree with you though, best discussed in the appropriate thread.

(btw -no TSP50 Forms anywhere, that I know of.)

watch the nasty sell-off the last hour with the markets.

None of FRTIB's recent actions makes any sense.

Form TSP-50, Investment Allocation, Not Available on the TSP Web Site​

Form TSP-50, Investment Allocation, is the only TSP form that is not available from the TSP Web site. This is because the form was designed to be read by an optical scanner; if it were downloaded from the Web, this might not be possible. You can obtain a copy from your agency personnel office, or, if you are separated from Federal service, from the TSP Service Office. ​

​

There doesn't appear to be anything about these forms that would make them unavailable for download. My guess is that the above statement was written prior to the inception of the L-funds and the TSP-50 has been redesigned since.

 

[DrFaustus]

No, someone inquired about availability and they told him the same thing..forms will not be available other than by mail because a downloaded form might not be scannable. He finally received some (folded) from TSP and they told him they have to be mailed back unfolded and wrinkle free. Good luck to the military with that from overseas! All or most of the forms were updated last year/earlier this year.

My copies came folded as well. I didn't know about the "unfolded and wrinkle-free" aspect though. Sheesh. I guess we'll have to mail them in an envelope with a stiff cardboard insert to prevent wrinkling.

 

[mojo]

Maybe they suspect the forms will show up as little wadded up balls.

We all have a couple of bucks to spare and no matter even if it's you local spca do what you can.

Each year, in the United States an estimated 27 million cats and dogs are born. Between 5 and 8 million are euthanized because homes are unable to be found for them. Hundreds of thousands of healthy dogs and cats are killed each month for many reasons, including commercial and backyard breeding and the sale of animals in "pet" stores, all of which are preventable.

Com'on people this is the U.S. the richest nation on earth with the best and most generous people bar none so let's do the right thing.

12% I'm with you all the way on this.

It was in the process of selling off until the freak'n CNBC cheerleaders broke in with a rumor of a possible bailout.

 

[Show-me]

Oh, how I wish I knew the answer. LOL

Check out the action in the 10yr. I thought it was odd how it moved given how decidely negative the markets were.

 

[12%ayear]

I hate those nasty last hour sell-offs! :laugh:
just kidding

You were lucky that there was news. Trust me , the DJIA was going to close down triple digits.

 

[Braveheart]

I pasted this report in the C Fund thread. I was going to move until I just read this. If all this news comes out this week how can the market move up even with a bailout. I can't believe the market turns on a bailout as if that is now good news.

[Birchtree]

The market is always omnipotent - and is discounting the future. That's why I invest for the future rather than today.

 

[12%ayear]

G Fund for me tomorrow

 

[12%ayear]

S Fund for Monday

Posted above Friday...paying off nicely today and I locked profits for Tomrrow.I see a sell-off Tuesday. Went to the G Fund.

 

[12%ayear]

I see one more up day and sell-off when Ben talks Wednesday/Thursday.

 

[12%ayear]

Timing sounds about right, especially if S&P gets a bit closer to resistance at 1396 (only 24 points, or 1.7% above today's close). Ben testifies on monetary policy before House panel at 10:00 am Wednesday...but I don't think he talks on Thursday. The market sells off every time he opens his mouth.

Today will be another triple gain followed by a sell-off on Ben. G Fund for Wed.

 

[Intrepid_Timer]

12%, I'm confused. Yesterday you said the market will sell off today and today you say another triple digit gain. Which is correct?

At first I was bearish then upon doing some DD I went bullish for one more day..today. Went to the G Fund for Wed.

 

[12%ayear]

This is a bs rally. This tells me to go on the sideline based on inflationary pressure and bad Consumer Conf. IBM held the market up today along with some oil stocks. I do not think that the Fed will be too happy about the report. Also oil back over $100 is not a good reason to rally. Sell-off coming tomorrow. Triple digit drop Wednesday.
