Are we at the bottom yet? I can't take this anymore. I've lost enough to buy a brand new Lexus or a house down south.:nuts:

The charts say we've been extremely oversold. If I get out now I'll be stuck in the G for the rest of the month, missing any oversold rally. Besides, I think we've already crashed. Just like the Cubs.:sick:

I'm in the same boat. I find myself more worried about missing a relief rally then being caught in this downdraft. That has me concerned that we are NOT near the bottom. Something tells me that things will get so bad that I will push that G fund button in panic and then we'll rally. Hope I'm wrong.

The trading in GM and Ford has me more concerned than anything right now. It doesn't look good.:(

Exactly how I felt, been hanging in there and plenty of things happened that normally would have caused an uptick, but NOOOOOOOOooooooooooo! Just got tired of taking all the shots. Where is the next support, looks like the 2002 -2003 lows somewhere in the SPX 800s I think? Have no fear I'm out it's bound to RALLY!!:o

I know how you feel, I Capitulated yesterday to the "G" and can't move until the 1st of the Month. I just can't stand to lose anymore! Should bounce like hell if I went to the "G"?:worried:

I did the same, nnuut, but it was my first IFT of the month. If I was down to my last IFT, I think I would have left a percent or two in each fund to play the <1% average up game, just to keep my head in the game. Also, split my contribution across the F,S,I,C. I think it will show a fraction of a percent when it goes in, if you have 0% in now, giving you the opportunity to raise each fund to 1%.

I capitulated yesterday but it doesn't look like it started the next bull market. :)

Yeah, I could have eased out a little at a time, but I'm full of it, had enough, no mas no mas porfavor! I'll probably miss some to the upside, but it's a long way to the top and I should be able to get a piece of the action.
NO MAS!!!:nuts:

Bright note, maybe. Many of my co-workers ( neither smart nor dumb money, just scared) who have been in the G fund for many months are claiming that they are getting back in tomorrow. I wonder how many others are thinking the same thing? :blink:

I'm waiting for 880 and no government holiday. Out at 1000-1100 before the test.

Concerns me also Gumby, as I am down about $8500 on their stock and receive a monthly pension from GM. The TSP account is my wife's and she is nearing retirement.
 
Sure, let's go back to notepads and telephones...right. Help, the telephone lines are overloaded! Call in more Operators!
 
I just got back from the golf course and I had a great game. I think I shot somewhere around 90 or maybe upper 80's. I don't really know for sure because the guy that was keeping score had a very bad day and accidentally zeroed out all scores after the 15th hole.:nuts:

The chart at the bottom showed the S fund finished up 1% today. Is that correct? Did we finally bottom?

BE GLAD YOU WERE ON THE GOLF COURSE

The S Fund was down over 10% earlier today..... :sick::sick:

The bottom is unknown my friend but we lucked out today. :)

I have been up about 5% for the year so far on trades.

I decided to take a loss for all of the money that I gained this year.

I am at 50% G and 50% I ,now.

1 day down equals 10 months work.:worried:

I think the I fund will continue to decline. I am looking at a 60% decline for the I fund. Best case.

Worst case would be over 80% down.

I will be a buyer next month if the I fund is lower.

Why don't you sell 1/2?

This gives you the rest of the month to sell the remainder at a higher rate.

Well, the key will be whether the I fund will be lower than it is now at the start of the next month.

I don't want to sell any of it because it's too early in the month. And I have no IFT left.

This market is extemely oversold. Sure we could continue dropping but a huge rally can also come at any time. If we were closer to the end of the month, I would might consider it

true

but you can continue to sell to the G fund after you run out of IFT.

I have 4 IFT this month so far.
