I am trying to find out how I lost 2000.00 and, I moved everything to G fund at 2 am on the 27th. Why? And can someone please explain?
You moved everything to the G fund at 2.a.m. on November 27th? (Today?)
If so, first, let's look at your "$2,000 loss". Could it be that you are looking tonight (the 27th) at the balance, and it is $2000 lower than it was last night at 2 am when you were looking?
If so, then first, understand that what you were looking at last night was before YESTERDAY's (the 26ths) result were posted. They don't update account balances usually until about 7 a.m. or so. So any balance shown before the update is complete will show up as the previous day's balance. When you log in to the real TSP, you will see words that identify which day the balance you are seeing is representing. I.E. - "As of November 26,2007, your balance is...":
Now, you say you clicked on a trade at 2 am. last night.
That trade does not take effect until the closing of today's stock markets, meaning the prices which are published at 7 p.m. tonight.
So tomorrow, after 7 a.m., go log in and check your balance again. You'll have a postive number, since today it went up.
