Hello Everyone,
Its great to come across a website dedicated to TSP particpants! I have been a particpant in the plan since mid 2002. I am 30 years old and plan to retire at age 57 (keeping my fingers crossed). My current asset allocation is 40% C, 40% S and 20% I.
I consider myself to be a buy-and-hold investor. Read Bogle, Siegel and Bernstein before I started to invest my money, they kind of sold me on the long term investor mantra. Currently, my TSP portfolio is my only investment holdings. (I do havea 529 set up for my son's college fund.)
I would like to know what you guys think about my current asset allocation. Specifically, what do you think about the 20% I fund allocation. To much or to less? I know that Bogle does not like international whereas Bernstein believes it is an essential component to a diversified portfolio.
Also, how often should I rebalance my portfolio...annually, semi-annually, quarterly or even monthly. As i understand it, the rationale for doing so is to buy low and sell high.
Thanks for the input and I look forward to some interesting conversations on the board.
Texlaker.
