Bquat's Account Talk

[Bquat]

Hello from Texas. I retired Feb 2010 and have been enjoying it. Had 8 years Army and 25 years civil service under FERS. I've been visiting this site for a few years and now I have the time to be more active on this site. My current allocation is 30G, 40F and 10 in each CSI. I'm a little conservative with a little in C, S and I in case of a continual float up in stocks. I'm also considering joining Intrepid Timers service.

Welcome to Forum Bquat !,

We are all trying to do the same thing here and that is to build our retirement nest egg so we can live as best a retirement as possible.
This can become very addicting and self satisfying when you make the right moves. It all about the moves.

All the best, Poolman

Thanks Poolman. I really enjoy your video posts. It's evening coffee time. I make a pot and enjoy it while watching your videos.

Well I'm ready for the markets to go positive. Don't want to be negative on my first day on the tracker. Well if I get to be #620 I can only go up from there unless more join.

I wont say the best days of January are behind us just yet.

Last year everything was hunky dory until Feb...thats where the first slump hit. Then all was good - until May...

Welcome to the show Bquat. I did 7 years Army, 7 years government contractor with SAIC and then 12 years civil service. I resigned the beginning of 2010 and also live in Texas once again.

Good luck in 2011, you've come to a great place to learn!

Ok, 613 of 627 is a good start. Hope to make 4% or better this year to make up for retirement withdrawls from TSP. Also make up the one time withdrawal I took would be good too. Eventually I hope to have a better retirement than my CSRS counter parts. With pay freezes and no COLA's, I might have a chance. I think I might have retired just in time.

Hope the dip buyers start buying soon.

A day like today fits my grand plan. Let's see how much pain the 100% S funders can eat. You may see a mass scramble to the lily pad real soon. I hope the dip buyers are a no show.

That's just cruel. :cheesy:

I can only hope they do. Thanks for visiting my thread.

The playpen is varied and fun with competition especially when real money is on the line. Best to learn before they churn.

Well went up in the tracker by losing less. These guys will pass me this month with a bounce at 1270ish S&P or maybe where it is now. They will gain more by being more in as the market as it goes up. 1260 to 1255 I might change my C S I to G. Watching for a bounce.

 

[Bquat]

Well I thought this was a bounce this morning. Maybe I can make some in the F fund sinse I didn't get out of it.

 

[Bquat]

Hope the dip buyers start buying soon.

Ditto

 

[Bquat]

Well, I'm staying 30g, 40f, 10csi for right now.:worried: Made it to 531 on the list by others losing more. Hope to rise back up with them next week. Still have the G option if need be. Looking up to zero sinse my entry point in the tracker.
