Interesting... First time I looked at this site. Did anyone see this article?
http://www.govexec.com/features/0501/0501s1.htm
rying to anticipate the ups and downs of the market, an Army civilian employee transferred his entire $200,000 federal Thrift Savings Plan account balance between funds more than seven times in 1998, rolling it in and out of the C Fund, which invests in stocks. During times he thought the market would be down, he took refuge in either the F Fund, which invests in bonds, or the G Fund, which invests in safe government securities. Financial planners would have warned against it. But nevertheless, this man rolled the dice-and he beat the market. He bested the C Fund's 1998 return-26 percent-by seven points, raking in a 33 percent increase in his TSP account balance. Using similar tactics the year before, he boosted his account by 50 percent, while the C Fund went up just 33 percent.
We need to get him on the TSPTalk Team....
Have a great evening

Same here.
I know. Not too many questions. I thought the article might go more into TSP participants in general - not 3 different articles. They sent a photographer from 40-50 miles away from my home, took dozens of pics with all kinds of equipment. All for a couple of questions. Seems excessive but I'll take it. I still haven't seen the magazine layout.That's it??? Not exactly the in-depth interview I was expecting.
Free advertising though.
I know. I contacted them about that a week or so ago to ask if they could post the date of the interview because of the new developments but I was told it had already been gone to publishing (the magazine).

Too bad they don't say what the date of the interview is. Both you and wheels were in the safe heaven.

Yeah... being in the AF is my "part time" job.
Being a moderator on TSP Talk is my "full time" job!
Like we use to say in the Air Force when I went through OCS-"You wanna glow-you don't wanna shine."
TSPTalk is getting on the radar screen-Good or Bad? How we do our "trades'?
The dreaded 'ACCESS DENIED' black screen of death? Who knows?:suspicious:
I cringe everytime I read what a great retirement plan we have.
I see a wireless card in my future-or taking my iBook with it's Airport Extreme to work.
