#499 on the tracker. Gain of 3.30% for the year. I know - it sucks!
Still holding CSI, L, L2020, and L2030.
Looking to make my first IFT this month.

Goodnight all.

Handballer: Do you follow the moon phases? you may also follow the slow stochastic and the bollinger bands one year charts.

 

[Handballer]

Thanks but don't follow any of them. Note I'm still on schedule to gain 8% this year.

Thanks for the update Tom. It will take me some time to get used to it but thats ok cause I got time.

This is where I stand:

#551 on tracker with .89% gain. Earlier this month I was up over 3%. Looking to close this month with 1% gain. I'm going to try gain a % each month this year. Some folks make it look easy.

It would be nice to be back in the upper 4hundreds next month.

That happens, I've been there before you CAN make a comeback!

 

[Handballer]

Thanks nnuut I have over 1/2 year left to improve. I see 100 members are fully invested in the G fund. Sad to say almost all of them are above me on the tracker. I have 30% in the L funds and the other 70% in S fund. The L funds have stopped me from larger losses this month.

I’m about to go on a secret mission this weekend without any access to computers, cell phones, or other stuff to check my TSP account. I will probably be able to find a daily newspaper, hopely in the English so I can enjoy the cartoons.

Note to Congress: KEEP YOU HANDS OFF MY MONEY AND HEALTH!

Hope to be back soon.

Tom thanks for the continuing improvements to the board. I copied this post from google documents.

HANDBALLER DON'T LET THESE UPS AND DOWNS DISCOURAGE YOU, it happens all the time, set your levels and get out or get in and stick with it. Big up today and I'm in the "G" Fund, so what! I've been in the "G" sense tth 15th and missed many losses, I'm waiting for the turn around and today isn't a turn around if tomorrow has higher highs and lows I might think about it, but you have to look at the general condition of the market and economic considerations before making a decision.

HB, Good luck this weekend. June has kicked my butt. I finished May YTD at 11.57% and before yesterdays upturn I had fallen to 3.41% YTD. I feel your pain

 

[Handballer]

Thanks for your thoughts folks. I don't think I've been 100% anything this year but cob I will be 100% S fund. I won't be here next week. So what happens, happens. I won't have any control over it but hope for the best, for all of us.

[Handballer]

I'm back. Spend some days in D.C., Richmond, and Norfolk area mostly. Glad to be home its too dern hot there. I don't know how you East Coast guys cope at work until the stock market opens. The closest I got was when I was stationed in Florida (Eglin AFB) but we didn't have the TSP back then. Thats about all I got now.

 

[Handballer]

Now #454 with 2.99% gain. If Hidden would somehow disappear, well.......

Less fluff and the numbers don't seem to bounce around as 'someone' messes with all the closed/old accounts...

 

[Handballer]

Thats a great tip. I moved from #454 on the tracker to #381. Thanks.

And don't forget cell phone bills. Eugenics could help balance the budget.

 

[Handballer]

Ended last week at #304* Still 20% the S. Lost 1.65% for the week. I got crushed! I'm hoping for none of the same this week. Who knows?
