I have a lot of links going back up to 7 years at:

You can also sort by clicking on the heading of the columns such as "Base" or "Award".

You gotta love the way the C & S Funds shoot up right at the end these last two days.

 

[Cactus]

Ahhhh, another end of day rally. I love it the way money pours into equities at the last possible moment. It's as if someone doesn't want to be left out of the market overnight.

Looks basically flat this morning, but the S Fund appears to be making up for lagging yesterday.

 

[Cactus]

And the rollercoaster continues with the S Fund in the best shape. The start of month affect is going to be really interesting next week.

Nasdaq Composite hits the 5,000 mark for first time in 15 years: March comes in like a lion; Nasdaq roars above 5000

Looks like the close will be interesting.

 

[Cactus]

Yes, indeed. The rollercoaster continues.

That was quite a drop (0.5%) on large volume for the AGG (F Fund) today. It dropped right through the 50 DMA like a knife through butter. Looks like Tom was right about the bear flag in his chart.

 

[Cactus]

This looks like an opportunity to get out on an up day. 100% G Fund by EOD today.

That makes it 100% S Fund for the CRAP system for those still interested in that.

Has anybody tried going to https://www.tsp.gov/ today? All I get is a white screen. No notice, error message or anything. Just a white-out blizzard. You better have the phone number and your pin ready if you plan on making an IFT today.

The phone number is: 1-TSP-YOU-FRST (1-877-968-3778). Sorry, I cant help you with your pin.

It is back on line... Here in the Pacific NW at least.

 

[Cactus]

Yep, for me too. I wonder what that was about? You usually get a splash screen notice if a site is down for maintenance.

Just now worked for me

Now that our government is once again dipping into our G Fund to deal with the debt limit (21 Days: Treasury Says Debt Has Been Frozen at $18,112,975,000,000 | CNS News), it's time to realize that our retirement plan is the 4th largest holder of U.S. debt (Fun Fact: Federal employees own $1 trillion of U.S. debt). The military retirement plan is the 5th largest and our Social Security is number 1. That being the case I think we should have more of a say in the matter instead of always being treated with disrespect and being used as congress' favorite punching bag. :ban:

There's a lot of fear on the forum today. That would tend to indicate it's a good time to buy. Anybody else in Birch mode today?

 

[nnuut]

I won't even attempt to call a BOTTOM, nope not me, not again!
