This is the small difference ...

I do see the "125 C fund" row, but do you have a link to the top one (-39.92%). I can't seem to find that.

By the way, there is a "New Tracker Software" thread in the Report Problems forum (it's the bottom one on the board page). I know Ocean reads that so he would be able to help if/when there is a problem reported there.

Thanks.

Tom, do you find that the TLT chart at the bottom of each the web
page, demonstrates a more accurate return then the AGG when comparing
both against the (F) Fund ? Curiosity only, as the AGG has long been the
standard. But with the differences within the AGG YTD returns, I've kinda
lost faith in it.

 

[tsptalk]

Yes, me too. The AGG has been no help so I'm trying the TLT to see how it does.

Thanks Big Guy !

While glancing at the YTD returns for each, it would appear that neither
will be much good to us. Let me know how it works out and Thanks again.

Tom, What do you think about being in the F-fund for the month of December?

 

[tsptalk]

It (bonds) appears overbought, but who knows how low rates will go?

Tom, Have you ever considered doing you Market Commentary as a video on YouTube like ManOfTruth or Pastor Manning ?

 

[tsptalk]

Thought about it, but probably not any time soon. It would take me 50 takes to do a 2-minute video. Correcting mistakes is easier when typing.

I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I was deployed last New Years Eve, so I missed out on joining the tracker.

Will I have to be 100% G in the tracker on January 1st or will I just act like it’s just another day?

 

[tsptalk]

Just another day.

Tom,

What do you think about getting into the stock-funds this next Monday COB?

 

[tsptalk]

I don't look at seasonality as primary indicator Greg. Just an added breeze at the back of the market (or in the face of the market if it's negative). If the market was oversold and we were in an uptrend, I'd say yes, push it based on seasonality.

But I hate how things look right now, and perhaps the seasonality will keep things contained for a while, but I am not interested in being in stocks until we at least get some oversold readings.

Tom,

I sent you a mailing address yesterday and I'm not sure if that was what was wanted or needed? I'm also curious? Both my parents are from Ireland. As far as records are known of ( 7 generations in all; were born in, grew up and died in Ireland). My Mothers favorite Irish Song was "Oh Dannyboy". Hence she slapped that on me her youngest child.
Can I change dannymcm to dannyboy? I believe, There was a dannyboy when I first started to try this site and when I tried that it was rejected? so I just used dannymcm. I looked at the member list and they seemed to have left? Can I now, use that login for me? thanks

 

[tsptalk]

I got your address dannyboy! You're all set.

 

[ATCJeff]

Any plans for next year to inlcude a TSPTalk mobile website?

[tsptalk]

I'll have to do some research on that.

I want some TSPTalk swag. Any thoughts on uploading something to www.Cafepress.com?

 

[tsptalk]

swag

:laugh: LOL. That is something I have considered for a while. I have procrastinated because I didn't think it would generate much interest. Maybe in 2009.
