I just received my annual statement. Everyone, please take a hard look at your LIFETIME CONTRIBUTIONS. These are your actual gross pre-tax contributions, not your BALANCE, and are not affected by earnings/losses. I haven't pulled my W-2's for the last 20 years to check the numbers (yes I have them as well as leave & earning statements), but I can tell at a glance that the figure is off by at least $50k. Another member has commented on this as well. That individual contacted TSP and is waiting for a callback on it.

We all know that Uncle Sam borrows from the trust funds. Does he pay us back with interest?

Anidoc,

I got my statement as well and I did calculate my total contribution from my leave and earning statements and they shorted me $54K. I could not see where this changed any of my totals however. What does this mean for the bottom line? It was all pre-taxed, so there is no advantage that I can see, to the total contribution numbers being wrong, except someone is doing a poor job of accounting.
 
anidoc, could some of these account have outstanding loans against them. If so, the difference in the dollar amount of the loan may account for the difference.

I have not ever borrowed against my account. I can't speak for the other two. See posts by MPILLIS and BLUEMAX.

BTW, my spouse is also a fed with 20 years service, and his account is also off by $50K. That's 4.

Not sure if I'm talking about the same thing. My [FONT=&quot]cumulative retirement has always been off since the DOD Navy went to DFAS almost 20 years ago. We were told at that time to be sure and keep our pay stubs as the balance at that time would not be carried over into the new system. I've never looked back, and being how everyone I work with is Federal Government, the typical response has been "don't worry about it". I've asked on a couple of occasions to see documentation, still waiting after 20 years. This was the period just after CSRS was closed, and the new Federal Retirement system was forming. I recall it was a few years before the dust settled, about the time change over to DFAS occured. I've never found information about it, and most all I've talked to thought me crazy (well, in a different way than those on this board) :)

It seems that the "I fund" has almost been "playing" the USM lately, riding right on the underbelly and not allowing profits to be taken out of market. Sure have been some interesting FV's lately :D
 
....this market is going to explode in the faces of all those bears - this could be the biggest bear trap in history, and for most, they won't acknowledge this until much later when the majority of the advance is nearing completion. So says Mindy Lou.

"I assume you and Mindy Lou are selling the farm and betting every dollar you got on the 10% and 5% components of the CO NYSE breadth MCO since they are both above their zero lines giving us a clear buy signal. We have fully broken above the accelerated declining tops line that can be drawn between the CO NYSE breadth MCSUM. Your words." Also not let me forget " The NYAD line is now above its 200 EMA. Snort - Rip it."

In its original form the McClellan Oscillator (MCO) was calculated by subtracting a 5% trend (39 day EMA) from a 10% trend (19 day EMA) of NYSE advancing- declining issues for those not in the know.

Best of luck/:worried:

The market usually finishes in green whenever the market starts in red. I'm expecting some green today.

Rustynutt,

I think we are talking about the same thing, I had the same thing happen when we had our finace department change locations. When I calculated my lifetime contributions I figured that in (from my old leave and earnings statement that I was told to hold on to). Also I have never taken a loan out on my TSP and I am CSRS, so I have no matching funds.

With the econ data that was released today, and the up move the markets have made in the last few days, I think we'll end the day in the red.
 
The smart money has been long for the last 700 points. Anyone who bought the January lows or got on along the way is not going to sell this market. Time in the market is typically more rewarding than timing the market. It would appear that this current uptrend in stocks has enough staying power to continue well into the spring and summer and continues to reinforce how important it can be when both the 9 month and extended 4 year cycles are moving concurrently in the same direction.
 
Early Excel estimate total down $0.18 :worried:
early EAFE estimate total down $0.24 :worried:
