You're welcome.

I don't like what I'm looking at. I'm getting out. I hope 12% is right and the USMs rally in the afternoon resulting in a +FV.

I got out. The Yen scares me. How do you look at what the other guys are doing in the auto tacker. The account page was much easier to see.

Yea it was much easier to get a quick idea of what other people were doing on the account page because it could be sorted by latest reply (or update). The new tracker seems to always sort by name, meaning you would have to look to see who has 0 days since last transfer on the Members IFT page and then look them up... its doable but takes longer.

Happy new year everyone:)

IFT of the Day works too

I know there is alot of time in the trading day, maybe the Fed Minutes will turn this near the green....But, will the falling hard dollar save us from a -FV ?

Since it looks like alot of us pulled out today into safe haven, the "barclays Spies" will see that and hit us with an even harder than normal -FV...
 
I wanted to jump into the “I” fund today, but wasn’t confident of any major negative FV turn due to the falling dollar, so I jumped into the C fund.

But, does anyone know of a thread that is just dedicated to tracking the – and + FV’s? Just a simple thread to track past FV’s as this would be VERY useful to my account.

If so, please let me know, because I would like to add that thread to my account. Someone a while back mentioned the “I” fund FV’s as being like stepping into a gopher hole. That’s funny, but very true. Thanks in advance for the info. Have a great day in TSP land! :cool::cool:
 
MSCI is -0.01% today. Yesterday it was 0.00%.
I hope we don't get a -FV today cause I went 50I50S to 100S today-cob.
 
Things are not looking to great. We are in -FV territory. It seems we are in the -15 FV area if they use the DOW.

Last I-Fund Share Price ==>> 24.76
Today % Change ==>> -0.01%
Current Share Price ==>> 24.76
FV Correction ==>> 0.00
Today FV (+ or -) ==>> -0.15
Today Expected I-Fund Share Price ==>> 24.61
I-Fund Change ==>> -0.15

At 03:34:01 PM on 01/02/08

Estimated C-Fund Gain ==>> -0.26
Estimated S-Fund Gain ==>> -0.30
Estimated I-Fund Gain ==>> -0.15

The Thrift Savings Plan will implement restrictions on the number of interfund transfers a participant can make per month in order to curb frequent trading and its associated costs to TSP participants. However, the TSP does want to provide the opportunity for participants to rebalance their accounts and to permit unrestricted access to the Government Securities Investment (G) Fund. Accordingly, the restrictions would be as follows:
  • Participants can make two (2) interfund transfers per calendar month. After that, they may only move money from the Fixed Income Index Investment (F) Fund, the Common Stock Index Investment (C) Fund, the Small Capitalization Stock Index Investment (S) Fund, the International Stock Index Investment (I) Fund, and the L Funds to the G Fund.
  • We will count the interfund transfer based on its process date, not the date the interfund transfer was requested.
  • If your first or second interfund transfer in a month moves money only to the G Fund, it still counts toward your two (2) interfund transfers per month limit.
read the 3 points. 1. It seems they are going to tell us which days we can make the transfer. 2. The First 2 transfers counts even if you are going into the G or F Fund. 3. It will start April 2008

Q4. When will the restrictions be implemented?
The restrictions will be announced in the annual TSP participant statement mailing which is scheduled for February 2008. We anticipate they will take effect in April 2008.


Look's like April to me...
 
What happened to the letters that were supposed to out in December asking us to cease frequent transfers?

Did anyone receive one of those?

GGal:

I believe that the recent Federal Register notice that becomes effective on Jan 7 is to allow the TSP board to do just that (sending letters to the 3000 frequent traders). For the April 08 change, I believe the TSP board will come out with another (??) Fed Register, or maybe this one is for both?? The way the comment period is set up seem confusing. Do we have anyone expert on FR to analyse this notice and let us know exactly what it's about? We need to distinguish the temporary restraint order from the permanent move, although both are detriment to all of us here.

RPM - This FR notice is just to authorize the TSP Board to send warning letters to the 3,000 "frequent traders". The actual proposal (and notice) to begin restricting IFT's to two per month will come later, probably later this month or February. We still all need to submit comments on this notice, however, since the Board made several errors in the notice (no specific comment period identified, for one). Please fax your comments in this week, if you have not done so already - every comment letter helps. There are several examples of good comment letters in the "fighting back" thread.
