I think the tariff bomb that was dropped yesterday is going to rattle the market for some time. I bet we see a 2% drop today and next week might not be better.

I am no expert... Many say if your already in, stay in and ride it out and there us a lot f wisdom to that. I did not do that in early Feb, and missed out on a large recovery. So I must now dig out.

So here s the second dip... Again no telling how deep or how long it will take to recover. Most of these recent drops have been short lived and recovered in a few months, if that. But depending on what is causing the drops, it could take much longer (it can sometimes take a few years...aa 2008-2009), but they are all different and again I'm not in anyway an expert on maret. Unfortunately no crystal ball here and I've not been on the right side in these decisions as of late. I want to exit but will likely make a last minute decision....as usual.

Your decision will also depend on how close you are to retirement.

Maybe others can comment.

Wishing you the best and everyone else as well!!! :smile:

I have to play it careful. If I run to the "G" fund today I'm already down $14K from my high point this year and $3K down from the beginning of the year. Don't want to lock in to big of a loss, but I can't ride it down much farther.

I'm in the g fund...I'm down 27k from my high this year and 3k from what I had the start of January. I tried to get back in a few weeks ago only to lose another 1000 bucks. I'm retired so very gun-shy now. I'm out until there's a clear direction and the correction has run it's course. I've come to terms with giving back what was to be the largest part of my new truck I'm eyeing..lol.

I am down a TON.... But even so I am thinking to bail and take another hit. The sentiment s the tightest I've seen in awhile....hummm...to me it means more down side, but who knows. Thing is I would estimate Toda's loss at triple the current market loss so far today, just in case selling accelerates in the afternoon. Then decide, Would that drop be worth getting out to salvage the rest in hopes to come in at much lower bottom...... Decision is tough....
 
haha! don't feel bad. We're all down a ton this year. Its not looking good right now and I think we're gonna have another government shutdown soon. I'll be patient today and watch my money plummet and pray for a good monday ... but if Monday is bad i'm moving to g fund for the month until things cool down.
 
I rotated to full I fund yesterday from an S/I mix. Looking for a little pull back in the $ to help the I fund along. So far not the best move, but the day is young
 
Thanks EA and ValK, I was going to check my balance and could not get in. So I guess calls might take sometime....fyi_. 18779683778. need acct# and SSN to have them do IFT.
I'm still going back and forth. ... Leaning to exit.... just tried...its busy

10 mins of ualing on 2 phones... Busy.... And their site is down... No IFT today!!

Hoping for the best.....DOW only down 182 pts right now. TSP sucks!! And not in a good way!!! :suspicious:

11:52 am TSP site still down. S fund positive 0.33%, C fund negative 0.12% and I fund negative 0.12%. Maybe all green by noon! :smile:
 
Today, I finally started to dig out.... but lo and behold... now DOW futures are down -393 points (on news of Cohn resignation). Seems there is no break....go figure!! :blink:
I guess I need another pair of sticky pants... tomorrow should be a wild ride. But hoping the markets will get over it!! I must say, it seems just insane that the market drops on that type of news.

Best Wishes to everyone on your Investment!!!! :smile:

I wonder for people who can jump in and out at will swings like these must be a great opportunity

Yep the "S" fund is doing it's thing. Still going to stick it out at 40/30/30 C/S/I. I made a move early last year out of the "S" fund and it didn't pan out so went back to 100% "S". Never caught up to where I would have been if I hadn't made the move. Hopefully C&I will pick up the pace a little bit and then I can decide what to do. If this trade BS continues the only safe place may be G&F. Then I will have to admit defeat and a nice loss for the year.
 
Be careful with F fund...at least shirt term. I had to keep 20% in G fund reserve...just in case. S fund looks ready to break out upward, but importantly I understand it would not be as harmed as C fund due to steel and aluminum tariffs. Will see how it goes...keeping fingers crossed!!

Best wishes to you Nasa, and to everyone!!!!!!! :smile:
