Now let me see how many more good folks I can agitate. It's your money and you are privileged as an individual in a fiduciary account to waste it in a manner you see redeemable. Where my friend Ferdinand would say: Where stupidity is practiced, suffering soon follows. That should raise a little dander. Honestly, each to his own - that's what makes the markets such an equal opportunity slayer. Good luck to the entrepreneurial spirit.

C fund DCA vs EbbTracker results, Trader Fred or Sentiment Survey...

Now who's agitated? :nuts:

Remember, TSP is a tool for saving for retirement, not a stock trader. LOL...That is the standard response from TSP.
Honestly, I just like the fact that we CAN move frequently to avoid your scenario for market drops.:cool:

I do, too! Hope they don't change it on us.:suspicious:
 
So do we complete a IFT today for tuesday or what? Does anybody know the final answer?

I have the premium service, but I am still not understanding the next move?
 
Again what you have scheduled for Monday is what you will get for Tuesday.
You will be able to schedule a change on Tuesday for Wednesday.... or any time now that it is after Noon on Friday. Any intrafund requests now wont be processed until Tuesday night.

(my second post) the first time I posted I was looked down at because I didn't punctuate properly "this isnt a chat board"said nnuut) . You will be getting my 15.95 a month for your advice and I will be glad to pay it, Even though some posters think that they are supieror to others (I may not know how to punctuate my msg perfect (nnuut) bet I can build or fix anything that comes up, my puctuation isn't perfect but I can do what I do can) . Anyone that posts that makes someone feel like they said the wrong thing. Will not ever past again so be careful how you respond to first time posters.

We're all in this together - When we make any comments derogatory about another - how ever justified we may feel at the moment

IN THE END IT ONLY MAKES US LOOK WORSE.

Nnuut is nice and friendly and was one of the first to welcome me.

Scott, welcome to the MB and don't worry about what you say or how you say it. In some way we can all benefit from each other. ;)

Just look at how difficult it is to understand each other even when we TRY to say what we mean or try to get our thoughts across right. I am in favor of proper punctuation, proper spelling, proper English, and proper sentence structure. I think we should at least try to do it right, so we can understand each other. To me, anything short of that is just being lazy. I feel that there is too much of that kind of attitude in the world already. If we allow it in our communication, as well, noone will know what the other person is trying to say. How much money would we make if we were lazy in making our IFT? Not much, I bet!!!
Just my two cents
 
Regarding the last few quotes - THANK YOU - your points are valid and well taken. Communication is essential and the better we do it - the better off we are.

Your a Troublemaker. Not... :cheesy:

You got your pool closed yet ?

I've closed 210 out of my 270 regular customers. My body is telling me quit but my mind say's no...

money is good vs body giving out...
 
Pool is still open, but water is 78 degrees, cool!! I'm closing it this weekend. I can't imagine closing 210 pools, this will be the second one I closed this year and that's 2 too many!!! Gotta be good money thought!!!!!:D

There is one question that comes to mind in response to this post. If you are perfectionist in your grammer and spelling, why are you working for the Federal government?

Now pay attention while we congegate the verb phrase "to take coffee breaks."

I take coffee breaks.
You take coffee breaks.
He takes coffee breaks.
We take coffee breaks.
You take coffee breaks.
They take coffee breaks.

OK, now for your assignment. Your assignment is to congegate the verb phrase "to call in sick."
 
All I can confirm is that it must be time "for another break"! :D

And it's not about perfect grammar and punctuation... just for reference, go back and read the post in question. Sheesh!

A modicum of reason tells us that just a general effort to make sense is appreciated, and the post in question demonstrated little or no effort. In fact it was the worst post I have read (in this regard). This post was also significant in that it did not reflect the well demonstrated ability to use punctuation that was evidenced in the other posts that were logged. So, the poster is obviously capable.

nnut made a good point and a great observation. The posters response was way over the top.

I hated grammar and such, and was never very good at it... but I could usually at least get a C+... :D

I totally know what you mean by punctuation, spelling, etc. I talk on a particular NFL message board all the time and the people on there are horrendous spellers! I usually just ignore it, but occasionally, I get frustrated and I say something; it ends up making me sound like a snob, then I end up regretting it! I now just let bygones be bygones and not worry about it. That being said, unless the person is new to English, ie. speaks a foreign language, I think it's lazy not to look up the words at dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/ so they are at least spelled right! Oh well, too many other things to worry about in life!:)

BTW, I used dictionary.com to look up the words in bold, just to makes sure I was spelling them right!:D
