[burrocrat]

well you're sitting far better than i'll be after that action today, at least you had some out. i think they call this 'comiserating'.

congrats on the 300th post.

 

[Handballer]

Knowing the risk, earlier today I decided to leave my TSP account as is for another day. :worried:

You rode it this far down and now you're gonna bail?? Yowser! I wish you luck. (but not too much, I'm still in ).

 

[Handballer]

Hey James. Felt I had to bail. April 15th I was up 8.65% and after close on May 20th, I'm up only 2.95% for the year. It was time for me to move to safety. I figure by staying in the G fund, I can gain all I lost in a couple thousand trading days. Then I will try and gain at least a 5% yearly return.

Wish my 20some individual stocks had a G-like stop. All of them were down both yesterday and today.

Good luck with your moves.

I'm #90 on the tracker. Who knows how far up I will end today. Maybe to #80 or so.

 

[Handballer]

Notice how many posts I have today. Probably more than Steadygain.

Sorry, just feeling youthful.

I hear ya, I'm barely clinging to life... +2.63 YTD I can't blame anybody but myself, I mean come on, with the ridiculous stock gains of late, Stevie Wonder seen this correction coming.

HB, Good luck on your rise up the tracker. I am going the wrong way. This week I started at 100 then 121, 135 and yesterday 214. Got my sticky pants on and hoping not to fall much farther. Down 12% plus since late April.

Good luck to you also Nasa. I would like to see you reverse course and regain your 12%. Then, on and upward.

Its hard to get a hold on trading these days. Approaching 12 noon EST, its hard to tell whether or not to do an IFT. I'm going to ride out this month and not make any changes to my TSP. I'm stuck in the G fund.

I rose up the ranks to #61 on the tracker.

Don't feel bad James. Most of the guys at the top of tracker lost plenty. All of us could of used Stevie's wisdom. I don't know about his stock picking but the dude can carry a tune.

COB Wednesday May 19th
G Fund 100%

Back to safety tomorrow:laugh:

Good call my friend.

 

[Handballer]

Gotta love Monday's - G fund paying 0.03%. If this was paid daily I would consider staying 100% in it. But not seriously.

 

[Handballer]

Its no fun being in the G fund on days like today. It will take me more than 200 days to equal what I could of earned in the C or S fund today. Us G-folks have a decision to make but its only a 50-50 chance it will be correct.:worried:
