cluck, cluck.

cluck, cluck.

I know, I know. I should of kept the IFT as is. I redid it and now reads:

G - 79%
C - 7%
S - 8%
I - 6%

I'm really good at doing IFTs at the wrong time. So if the market is down tommorow I won't feel as bad.

Game plan for Monday is to have doubled my holdings in CSI. If, and its a big if since I have to travel so far to reach my loptop in the mornig. My first IFT for July was the other day. This one should acount as my 2nd IFT for July. Correct?

Mondays have been kind of nice to us in CSI (or CS) and lets hope for some catchup then. Else I'll go back to the big G and stay until I get my 8% back in several years.

C0B 7/30th
G: 65%
C: 14%
S: 16%
I: 5%

This may be a serious error on my part. I see FuturesTrader is going 100% G fund.

 

[Handballer]

0ops, I meant to double %age in I fund, not reduce it.

C0B 7/30th
G: 65%

C0B 8/11th, 2010: G 60%, F 40%

GO F fund! But first, an up day for CSI tomorrow would be nice.

At the moment I am still postive for the year (0.60%)

I retired 11/08 but have not started to withdraw money from TSP. TSP authorities tell me I have to start withdrawing by 04/11 or else!

If you don't immediately need the money - take the required distribution and sink it into a Roth IRA as a dollar cost averaging strategy. Have the money sent automatically and then you can reinvest in your choice of options. I like individual stocks that pay dividends every three months and have them reinvested.

You're right. It took me a while to find the error. The I fund should read 14%. I hindsight I wish I only had 4% there.

Unless the L funds gain alot today, I'm going to lose a small pile of money.

I'd like to retract this latest IFT.

I'd like to retract this latest IFT.

Your IFT on the autotracker did not make the deadline on Friday so you can change / cancel it there any time before noon ET on Monday.

C0B today:
G 83%

S 5%

My previous remark about retracting was made in jest. I expect today to be another winning Monday.

I am in the process of reducing my possible winnings cause I will not have internet access next week.

Has anyone used the <1% play lately? My L funds have remained an even 1% every day since 9/17th. Have the rulers at tsp.gov stopped us from using that play?

you have to divide the dollar amount in each fund you want to raise by your total account value. If it comes out to .999xxxx then it will show up as 1.00% and you cannot raise it. If you do the division and it comes out to 1.005xx it will show up on your account as 1.00% but you can raise it to 2.00%
