Boy, Oh Boy!!! When Ebb left the Tsptalk web, and took his boatload of followers with him, he sure left a dent in the web sight. Seems that most of the high rollers (which I used to confirm Ebb's moves to determine my IFTs by) went with Ebb and quit posting their moves. The TSPtalk web site is so disjointed now, with everyone trying not to post anything that will give away what the pay-for-view sites are posting, that most of the information and posts have little value or don't make much sense. Just because a person subscribes to Ebb's site, doesn't mean he/she can't post their personal moves. Their moves are their moves and they should have the right to post them. I can't believe that everyone that subscibes to Ebb follows him blindly without using their own system and intellect, as well. Looks like, in Dr. F's case, we lost his system as well as Ebbs. And his system and moves are different than Ebb's in a lot of cases. How many more of the top gainers are going to cross over and not post their IFTs for fear that they might divulge what is happening in the Ebb site? This makes it almost impossible to get any meaningful information from the TSPtalk site...cause even the administrator has abondoned his followers and won't post his moves. It's fine to get the insight behind the moves, but some of us can't understand the IFT impact of all that market talk. We want to know the bottom line impact of all that information because such and such happened. That is how we learn. That helps us know whether we should be moving to the 'X' fund, or the 'Y' fund. Maybe the entire TSPtalk web site should become a pay for view, and bring Ebb and Fred and Joe Smoo and whoever else has a system that is working back into TSPtalk so we won't have to keep going to all these other off shoot sites to get the information we used to get on the TSPtalk web site. I would be willing to pay for that.
This whole dialogue is kind of mute to me, because I plan to join Ebb and think Ebb and Fred deserve to be compensated for their time. I am willing to pay for it, and when I return from my 2 week TDY trip, I will. But I feel like the other member (who have joined the site to learn are being forced go to Ebb's site. I planned on doing that anyway, but I don't want people to be forced to do it just to make some sense out of this web site. We all were learning a lot from this site, but now I feel TSPtalk has lost it's purpose.
I know some of you will say...OK, fine don't bother to view the site. You are not being forced to look at it. But I feel we have lost something really special to the TSP members that was really helpful. I liked the dialogue, I liked to see the top producers jockeying their positions to be number one. I liked to see the success of the top producers and them sharing their ideas. They were still making tons of money and it didn't cost them anything to share their ideas with us. And it did help all of us.
And EW_Ret...I know you don't want to hear what I have to say...You have told me that plenty of times, but please don't edit this message out of view because you don't what to hear it...maybe someone else does!!!
