Now Charlie Sheen has kicked Denise Richards out.

For once, I was right about the economic data. I'll gladly take ~1% gain on my account for a couple days' worth of investment.

I'm trying to decide if Monday will be a profit-taking day or not. Hmmmm...

Friend of mine was wondering the same thing earlier this morning........hmmmmmmmmmm

Did we make the right choice? I'd say with about 80% certainty, maybe......

Something ain't right Mike. How'd you get to be on the right side?

Did you pull the trigger or stay invested?

Nice job!

Great move. Believe it or not for the week the NAS was up 5 and the 500 was up about 10. THIS IS A CHOPPY market...if you are the wrong side you can get a limb chopped off. I will be watching your next move. Good going!

No worries Rod.

Be careful about your mental health also. If you start having problems go see the docs.

In my hometown we have had three people come back from Iraq and hang themselves within five months and two attempted.

The effects of this war will last a couple generations.

God bless you and if you start getting depressed go see the docs, please.

The Pentagon does not keep stats on sucides for post war tramas. But 3 out of37 in my hometown gives me an idea that there is a problem. This is something I will study and I am going to donate a large chunk of change to organizations that are helping them.

Thanx for you concerns & support.:^

I have a question. I was wondering what the difference is really between making interfund transfers and contribution allocations.

No problem Vectorman. I've been LURKING around here sence Nov. of 2003 and have made some bad calls and some good calls. July of 2004 hurt bad, ask Tom. I think you gave some good advise, for a newbe. I know what the signals are, but sometimes get kicked in the Butt by unknowns, think we all do. If we could make IFT at 14:00 it would help alot. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

There are over 7,000 of our guys/gals coming back from Iraq that could use this advance. If you see one of our heros at the airport please thank them. Either they are scared crapless (going) or they are on cloud nine (coming back). You will make their day and they deserve it.

Thank you!

Thanx Dr!:^

When I deploy, I'll be more worried about not being able to manage my TSP in atimely manner.

But hey, maybe that'll keep my mind off of everything else.

God Bless:^

Contribution allocations are what is comming out of your pay check into your TSP account. You can choose how you wish to contribute throughout the funds.

Interfund transfers is the $ that is already in your TSP account. You can choose how you wish to transfer the $ around through the funds.

EX: Lets say you paid $100.00 a month from your pay check into your TSP acount in the G Fund for 10 months you would have roughly $1000.00 plus gains from the fund. Now it is the 11th month and you wish to do an interfund transfer, so you transfer$1000.00 into the I fund, youstill have your contribution allocation paying $100.00 into the G fund. if you do not change it then it keeps paying from your paycheck into the G fund, so at 12 months you would be sitting at around $200.00 G Fund (plus gains) and $1000.00 I fund (plus gains or minus losses)

Well' well' well! Thanks for the free advise Victorman. It's nice to knowwhen you're not an expert. Which I am not. I think our fearless leader (Tom) amoung a few others are the closest thing we have to an expert on this board. It's nice to know that we have another EXPERT beside those few. Now I can follow your Transfers and really make a Killing.

Thanks for the advise.:^Darn, makes me want to post my moves! Just can't get them posted in time to be any help. It's a work thing you know. Sick today, got the Market Blues!!!

Hopefully we can all learn from one another.:i

Sorry nnuut, I was out of line, let me have it, I deserve it and more.

Yes!:^ It will be interesting to see how the (I) fairs with the Asian markets mainly down, but the EAFE nearly 2% as of now.:shock:

It just may be a good day to be 50% invested...

Killer show.

Funny how that will be possible in the near future. Not the strength part but the limbs that look real and have better dexterity.

LOL! Yeah, I was thinking of posting:

ch ch cHcHCHCH CH CH...

But I thought some may not get it.

It's difficult to know when someone is writing in sarcasm. I can't tell if that's a compliment or a knock.

It's just a "funny"... It was something that crossed my mind, and I thought you would get a kick out it.

No problem Vectorman and no appology needed! You have every right to say what ever you want. I agree with you on what your getting at. If you were investing last year and you bought the I fund and stayed in it. Itout performed everything else and you would not have made one single move. Everyone makes mistakes and if you follow me on the board, I make mistakes just like all these other market guru's. The market is going up it looks like and now Cowboy may need to ride the bronc more into the lope, hopefully uphill! Your insight is just as valuable as anyone elses. Hope your retirment is a wealthy one.

80% G. 10% I TO BE changed, haven't made up my mind which way to go, but UP days tend to be followed by DOWN days (profit taking) so probably go 100% "G" chicken that I am!!:*

Unless you are an expert or have a high risk tolerance ........ For those who are in and out of the market constantly, if your not very good at it, then stop it, not only are you gamblingwill your future retirement, but for some, your familys' future assets.If you want to practice then get a scotttrade account........invest wisely.:^

Hey Spaf another one that doesn't know COWBOY.

Message shorted above to point out what I was getting at. Not directed at you Cowboy, Namor, Coolhand....and others who aregood at getting in and out of the market. With risk comes rewards. The message was for for those moving in and out alot and have not profited from such moves. Some are moving and really have no idea why. I just wanted to put into focus what is at risk.Maybe I should have added if onewants to move in and out ofthe market alot, then observe Cowboy or Namor for balance. My apologies. I didn't mean to get out of line.Just a friendly reminder as Spaf would say- Be careful.
