I'm headed to the G for Monday. I won't cross Ebb's chart anymore, it's too much of a safe bet to argue with.

Though I have to ask, why did this thread get so quiet? Seems like a lot of folks disappeared, like the thread starter for example. lol
 
pezfallout,

The gentleman that started the thread finally blew his pollution control vavle right off the top of his 350z engine - and is now bumping around in his dad's restored Datsun B210 while repairs are made. He'll return - come back Shane.

I have been a daily reader of this thread (and this site) for more than 2 years now. This thread has been hands down the best place for people to learn about investing in the TSP, to share ideas, and to discuss account allocation. I want to thank everyone who contributes and keeps this thread moving in the right direction.

Keep up the participation. If you have information to share that pertains to this thread, PLEASE SHARE IT HERE! Also, I am worried that much of the discussion in the thread will soon fall under the "subscribers only" area. Will people still be allowed to discuss their allocation strategy, including the impact that the subscription services may have on their decision? :confused:

I'll be the first to say that the creators of these systems should be rewarded for all of their effort they have put into their successful creations...I just don't want these changes to limit the free discussion of ideas that has made this thread invaluable to those who read it every day.
 
Do you think McDonalds gets worried every time a mom and pop operation opens next door to them - hardly. I suspect not much will change. The nubile investor will follow the herd - the experienced contrarian will stand fast and steady. That's how we all learn - sometimes we learn by our mistakes.

An astute observation :)

The corporation, no. But that individual McD owner would not be too excited about it.
 
Dollar is falling off a cliff.

Don't know what the end of the day will bring.

was $0.15 the final estimate? DX getting hammered again huh? I was not near a PC around the cutoff/I close, thanks.


Sorry, I don't know for sure what it was at at 11:38.

I saw it around 9 cents about 11:15a, EDT, and then looked again around 12:30 and it was .15 then.

So -- it would make sense that it would have been between the two at cutoff time.

I don't know if the dollar's fall the rest of the day will impact either. We'll know the final number after 7 pm. tonight.

Sorry, but that's the best I can do for now.

I'm thinkin' the FED injecting money is the reason the dollar is dropping. When the FED pours in the money, the dollar cheapens. Is that too simplistic a reason why the dollar has been dropping?

I didn't see anything about FED adding liquid reserves in the article on Yahoo about the dollar dropping - it just says basically that with interest rates dropping, we could be seeing investors transferring fixed income investments elsewhere. Any thoughts?

from: http://www.billcara.com/archives/2007/09/caras_friday_report_sept_27_20.html#more
"Yesterday, the Fed added $38 billion of liquid reserves in four operations, following several days of smaller additions. That helped the Financials (XLF +0.86 pct) on the day."

from: http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/070928/dollar.html?.v=15
"The lower U.S. interest rates, used to jump-start the economy, can weaken its currency as investors transfer funds to countries where their deposits and fixed-income investments bring higher returns."
 
As of 7:42 pm, they have not updated the thriftline call in number with new share prices.

this is indicitive of days when they have done a FV of somekind in the past. Usually, if there is no FV involved, the new numbers are updated on the thriftline within a few minutes of 7 pm.


we'll just have to wait a bit more to get the new numbers.
 
All I can think of about the "I" fund is that the $ is falling through its $$$$, this has GOT to be good for the "I" fund, although it's over $25 again, the last time it was this high it dropped big time, but didn't they all.:worried: Will it be a repeat?:confused:

Thats the million dollar question. I jumped back in the lilipad for Monday to weigh things out.
