Last but not least, the bull market hasn't ended yet - could be even stronger in 2007.
"The next two years in the election cycle, 2007 and 2008, feature the bulls on serve".

Even a market moving sideways can be timed. If it is trending sideways.

Re: GeorgiaGal's Account Talk
Exactly, the bull market is the hardest to time since any move out of the market will generally (on average) be a bad one during a bull run. In a bear market, timing is the easiest, since any move out of the market will generally (on average) be a good one. The sideways market could be one of the most profitable since it is the most likely to run in cycles of up and down.

Re: GeorgiaGal's Account Talk
Don't know how it will turn out on the tracker, but I put the pencil to it, tsp balance this morning, minus all contributions since 1/1/07, minus balance at 1/1/07 = return year to date in $. Then return year to date in $ divided by beginning balance at 1/1/07 = about 1.10% which of course does not include compounding.
Anyway, the point is, there is still a return, obviously greater than if I'd been sitting in G.
So I will not cry like a baby 'bout yesterday.

Re: GeorgiaGal's Account Talk
Congrats on your 1.1%, you're beating 4 of the five funds. Most active traders would take that I think.
Your method is how I track my returns, "very simple, very easy". No spreadsheet required.
One thing though: it does include compounding. Look at it this way. If you put all your contributions in Jan 1st, then minus them out Dec 31st, you see that you are capturing compounded profits on that money. -cheers

2 % YTD as of COB 1/31/07.....will take that and be happy in my little fuzzy world.
Imagine, if I understood all the charts and indicators as well as some here (well, let's be honest, I don't understand them at all - most of the time I don't know what ya'll are talking about), wow, I'd be dangerous. Ya'll would be eating my dust! (tee hee)
Now let me knock on some wood and pray I'm not eating humble pie anytime soon. And let me add, the only reason I'm doing as well as I am (so far, you know the wolf is right outside the door) is because of this site. Ya'll have really opened my eyes. Everyone of you regulars.
I wonder what tomorrow holds.

Re: GeorgiaGal's Account Talk
Tomorrow, tomorrow will be better than today. When the public starts buying, it will be in a stock market with a smaller supply of stocks, causing an equity supply shock. That will be good for the long term buy and holder. The ability to step back and use the market to achieve one's goals, rather than trying to follow and beat the market's every move, is key to long term success in investing. That's why I say be right and sit tight.
