LOL, funny, but probably true!
I think the "ethical" concern isn't really part of the equation since no one is handing over any money for me to invest, so I can't run away with it or buy big mansions anyway. Besides, all this is for entertainment purposes only! Are you "entertained" yet? :cheesy:

Maybe not in TSP world, but it definitely does in the investment world.LOL, funny, but probably true!
The day you start telling us all to "buy X penny stock before its too late!!!" is the day I end my subscription :cheesy:.
That is why whenever you read an article by a registered adviser, it always states whether or not they have a position in the stocks spoken of, or plan to have a position in them. Because 'advising' people to buy/sell something simply because it benefits yourself, or even just the APPEARANCE of it, is unethical. Like telling everyone the world is going to end right after you put all your money shorting the market, and don't disclose the positions.
Obviously in TSP world, telling people to buy/sell the S&P 500 won't make anything close to a measurable difference in the price action, and we can't short anything. Plus you inherently disclose all positions with each signal being executed at the close of that given day.

And here I though market timing prowess should be determined by one's track record and not one by what one "use" to do. Silly me. I assume these newsletter guys you speak of are "former" high level financial fund managers for a reason? As far as me, well I'm a "former" government employee (and military) who quit a cushy government job in order to do this market timing thing full time. Who is stupid enough to do that you ask? ME, because I developed a timing system over a 6+ year period that actually works, consistently. 6 years is probably longer than than those "newsletter" guys went to college to learn what they do/did from someone who probably wasn't able to do it themselves. Traders trade, those that can't, teach. So we have former fund managers who are obviously on the downside of their careers writing newsletters versus a guy who quit a nice job to time the markets full time and has a very good track record (proof) that charges more money. Hmmmmm, tough choice.
BTW, I post results for my subscribers all the time of "current" high level financial fund managers who I'm sure charge A LOT more than I do so that they can see how we compare to the best. I don't think any of them are planning on quitting my service any time soon............just saying. :cheesy:
What exactly is the definition of professional anyway? This is what Wikipedia says "A professional is a member of a profession or any person who earns their living from a specified activity.", Hmm, I guess that makes me a professional too.
one person' s newsletter that I follow, its not 200/yr
Dr. Steve Sjuggerud is also the creator and editor of True Wealth Systems, which uses a powerful computer software program usually found at hedge funds and Wall Street banks to pinpoint the sectors most likely to return 100% or more. Using this system, he can rigorously test and maximize profits on virtually any investment idea he can think of. One major newsletter industry insider called True Wealth Systems "the most in-depth research service ever developed."
Quoted by the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, and the Washington Post, he is also the co-author of Safe Strategies for Financial Freedom, a bestselling book on investment strategies. Over his career, Dr. Sjuggerud has addressed hundreds of financial conferences in the U.S. and around the world, including at the New York Stock Exchange. Dr. Sjuggerud is a former stockbroker, has been a Vice President of a global mutual fund, has had his own hedge fund, and holds a doctorate in finance.

Wow, you sure are taking a beating this week. What's that all about. Suddenly everybody going nuts about $20 a month. For me it's the single best $20 a month I ever spent in my entire life. I spend more on that a month on coffee and so does everyone else whether they realize it or not. Maybe you need to get yourself hooked up with one of those online degree mills and get yourself a doctorate in moneymaking or something. :blink: Possibly hang out a shingle or something off the tailgate of your truck

I'm always open to new strategies, so I looked into this a bit (thanks for sharing the info). From what I can tell there are two levels of service. One is "True Wealth" a monthly investment publication that costs $99/year. The second level is "True Wealth Systems" which is a monthly trading publication that costs $3,500/year. Both of these may be wonderful values, but I don't know. It would be interesting to see how this service would work with TSP trades.
What's nice about IT's service is that it is geared towards trading the TSP. That means using TSP funds within the context of the ever popular monthly IFT limit. You receive daily commentary, membership in the IT discussion forum on this site, and clear signals that are issued on a fixed daily schedule that allows one to make trades by the noon IFT deadline.
Finally, I respect IT for being transparent in regards to his system's performance as, surprisingly, it can be difficult to nail down the performance of investment services.

You have got to be freakin' kidding me. No wonder you think my fee is too much, you are obviously new to investing. I looked into Dr. Sjuggerud in the early 2000's, as well as many other newsletter masters. Why do you think I had to develop my own timing system? These guys make money by selling to the masses, not by their trading expertise. I think I still get some of their spam in my email as they are pretty good at getting past spam filters. I'm sure there are several here that fell for the same trap as I did years ago, but they probably don't want that to be known. I don't care because hopefully others can learn from my mistakes.
Here, let me help you out. This a list of the top recommended newsletters for your viewing pleasure: 10 investment newsletters to read besides Buffett
The top guy has averaged over 13% per year for the last 15 years. Some might think that's pretty good, but I don't, especially when you consider that these guys aren't limited by TSP's 2 IFT limit, can trade on margin and can also short the markets. When you compare them to my system without the TSP limits, it is no contest. I win. Even with the TSP limits I'll beat most of these on a year to year basis.
Thanks for the advertisement that you copied and pasted. Hope you are getting a cut.
$20 monthly fee sounds like nothing compared to the gains. There's a reason those blogs, newsletters, and infograms are free.

All part of the game I guess. I don't know if you've ever read the reviews on a product at Amazon.com, but some them are obvious negative replies from competitors. It's actually sort of funny, but if you do the research, you can pinpoint the "shysters".
Here I thought I was in line for a raise this year! Hell, I even gave myself a 25% pay reduction in 2011 because I didn't feel I performed as well as I should have, even though I beat all the TSP funds that year! Oh well, can't please everyone.................
Thanks for the support and glad you like the service! Checks in the mail............... :cheesy:

:smashfreakB:WOW! I just don't understand some of these discussions today! If you don't like what IT has every right to charge, then don't pay it! Find some other service that is as successful as IT has been for us and have fun! Myself, I will stick with IT and continue to do my best to follow his signals to improve my future retirement! Last time I checked, I still have free-will and am allowed to make my own decisions, which I do.

Awe, gotcha. I have had some bad experiences in the past from some supposedly quoting me with edited "quotes". I'm not Al Pacino, but I do have a "little friend".
