He was my daughter's bodyguard (a warrior) and did a super job at that. She loved his style. Anyway you might send him a PM.
Good luck and welcome

PoolMan,
Education of Markets, well, um, ...
Basically zip.
I could hardly tell you how a dividened is calculated - but I do know that to big or too little of a dividend is a movement indicator.
Since I'll have my USAF Reserve retirement set, and my military buyback for my civilian job will be completed, I'll have 2 small retirement incomes come retirement time (I'm 40 now).
So, with the market in the shape it's in, and I think it'll continue to decline for the near future (6mo-1yr at least), your theory of "going long" actually makes the best sense for me.
I'm holding at 100% G for the time being, and am seriously considering a 100% C IFT move once I feel we're near "a", "some", or "the" bottom.
My logic - in 10 years, I'll be very well off in TSP since the S&P will have nowhere to go but up, or the stock market won't exist on Earth.
As stated before, as I get closer to that 10yr point, I'll be shifting back to G or something safer.
Oh, and I do watch Cramer on Mad Money - if that counts. BooYah!

Welcome,
Thank you for your service. I understand it...
Your move is based on your education of the markets and your age.
How much time do you want to invest studying and reading?
Short Answer -- Go Long and forget it.. You will hopefully be fine..
Long Answer -- Start reading everything in this MB. And Study it....
I Love It...

Welcome.
Hi all!!
I'm an ART in the aircraft maintenance career field here at Tinker AFB, OK. Just now joining the GS/YC workforce with 20 years of military duty.
I'll probably be in for 10 more on the civilan side, but I'm looking to retire in 2-3 years for the military portion.
I'm looking to move into an FAA position if at all possible and would appreciate any insight from current/past FAA employees.
I haven't invested in TSP before, so I think I'm getting in at a good time (looking at 100% C fund).
Still have a lot of research to do... so little time.
