Another Newbie on the Rolls!

[BGBassLady64]

Hi Everyone! I've been in TSP for almost 25 years, pretty much a buy and holder. Played it safe for the first several years in just the Gfund, mainly due to ignorance. :embarrest: Then got brave, or stupid!, and diversified into F, C, I, and S. I've made a lot and lost a lot. I just invested and sat back and watched it all come and go. I've probably only utilized 3 IFT's in 25 years, and that was only to rebalance the funds. Well......now I'm paying attention and I don't like what I've been seeing!!! I've been reading these forums for a few months now, trying to "learn the ropes" and finally decided the best way to learn was to get out of the stands and get into the game. So here I am. HELP!!!!!!:nuts:

I'm looking forward to learning how all of this mess works, and hopefully increasing my returns in the process. Sounds like a good deal to me!

Thanks! to all of you who put so much time, energy, and expertise into this forum.

Your fund accumulations over the years will serve you well - it takes money to make money. Welcome.

 

[BGBassLady64]

Yes. And if I'd been paying attention all along I'd have a lot more accumulated.

Thanks RMI So, if I can't learn from you, do you have any suggestions as to whom I should pay attention to?

BTW...Love your signature quotes!

Welcome to the boards....

I recommend that you read the blogs and heed their information as it will give you the stuff you need to help in making a decision. Also, check the autotracker and watch the movements of other members. We all want to make money and the people at the top are proving it pays to get out there and move the money!

That being said, take your time and really understand the moves and ask questions!!

Welcome again,


Frixxxx

Did the same thing for years, just sat in the G fund. Not making as much as I would like. Just don't get out on time. Welcome aboard and good luck. Lot's to learn here. Some pretty smart people.
