We have a lot of ground to make up. Japan is up as expected.

Anyone jumping in the I Fund today?

Question-

ChemEng's spreadsheet is now showing a postive .06 cents right now. My question is does that take into account yesterday's decline in European markets, or do we have to factor that in as well?

Anyone jumping in the I Fund today?

Am already all in the I fund did the IFT from the S fund Friday am. My dilema is if it would be better to split 50/50 S/I than all in I fund. The 50/50 might be better if the dollar keeps gaining strenth.

USM futures are up and getting better b4 the open.

I dont think so. The % will be right for todays action, but the amounts would be off because the TSP share price wasnt updated yesterday.

You could "fake" it by typing in what yesterdays share prices should have been in S4 reference of cell G30. Instead of =F32-S4 it would look like =F32-25.40. (Also make the same change to the S4 reference in cell F32.)

Just remember to undo this work around for tomorrow.

Whoa..nelly!

Sorry- beyond my techincal ability.

Since I don't know what yesterday's share price would have been (Japan was closed, and I didn't look at 11:38 yesterday), I am simply lost.

How about you tell me how many cents it WOULD have been down yesterday, and then we subtract it from whatever positive number pops up today? That might be easier for me to figure out. :blink:

You say you think it would have been 25.40? So it would have been a decline of .18 cents yesterday?

So we should show today -- a minus .18 cents, and a plus .06 cents for today, or a net loss of .12.

Right?

I am having trouble logging into TSP this morning. It keeps telling me I am entering incorrect log-in information.

Anyone else having a problem?

Are you using your new account number? They're required starting today.

You need to use the new TSP account # you were mailed by TSP in the last month. TSP no longer uses Social Security numbers.

 

[darwat]

Yes. I could not log in as well. So now I have to wait until they send me my account number so I can make an IFT!!

 

[dell]

I do not recall receiving a letter from TSP, although I have been tdy in Washington for several months. My wife who is still in Atlanta is pretty good about saving the mail for when I get home.

Advice?

 

[Aviator_Guy]

I would recommend just giving the TSP a call if you want to make an IFT. They might make an exception if you havent received it in the mail, good luck...

TSP 877-968-3778

I just went into my account with the new account number....no problems.

 

[James48843]

As of this morning you have to use your 13 digit TSP account number they mailed out.

According to people on this board, it looks like quite a few people didn't receive it, or didn't see it when it came in. (It looked like a small blue envelope- appearance much like junk mail, some people said it looked like a "net-flixs" or "best buy coupon" cardboard mailer).

You can still use the thriftline to make moves.

My suggestion would be to use the thirftline, and also call them and ask for a new number to be sent, but it will take a while for you to get it.

I presume if just 5% of the TSP account holders did not receive their account number in the mail, that would equate to somewhere around 150,000 people, and if just 10% of those are calling in the next couple days asking to get a number mailed to them, and to make a trade, that the TSP thriftline is going to get REALLY bogged down.

We did a whole 'nother thread that deals only with this topic-

If I'm reading the spreadsheet right, we are currently +10 cents from yesterday's close, for a net -8 cents.

Thx for the update Nimrod.

The closing time for the I-fund is 11:30 EDT, correct?
