I just have to repeat what the two previous "new members" say. This site should be subsidized if necessary, by our U.S. Government. This site provides more value, more benefit in one day, than my agency has provided in my twenty years.

Thank You.

I am not knowledgeable about Markets and Investing at all. But I am learning. I am now taking in a lot of information from a lot of different sources every single day. And specifically with the Daily "Market Comments" here I am working within our existing system and making huge progress with my TSP. We all lament the 12 noon cut off, but again working with what we DO Have, I have used a very, very simplistic approach with Great Success. The Markets/Indexes are going up - or they are going down - all day, every day. That is simple. It can be made hugely and exponentially more complex and complicated, but they are still going up, or going down.

I have also taken up poker recently (in a Big Way). The translation is direct. As I take in knowledge, my ability to "manage" risk grows immediately. Even Great Poker Players will have losses. Losses are expected and very much part of the game.

One of the most exciting revelations I have come up with within my personal system is that even when I jump out of the three Stock Funds and get "conservative" for a few days, I am in the G Fund AND STILL GUARANTEED THE 4%!! That has been a worst case for me so far - I am very concerned because I may miss a day or two of good returns in C,S, or I - BUT My Money is Completely Safe, Guaranteed by the US Govt, AND Making 4%!!!

Hope to get more familiar with the site, the message boards, the markets, and you members!

Welcome DenverAce! Stocks and poker - Good combo. You weigh the odds and make your best decision based on the information you have, and still there are no guarantees. Gotta love it.

I've been playing poker since 1993 but unfortunately have had little time the past two years.

Good luck!
Tom
