When Goldmensux, Crapple, and Peeport McMoran take a big hit, it's hard to imagine there isn't more pain to follow...

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: - good one!

NIce call on exiting the F fund by the way. it is looking like a turd along with everything else (which actually gives me more hope for everything else).

I don't think I've ever seen so many moves on the tracker since it's started. Sure hope the folks making all those <1% don't mess things up for the rest of us. Some 401K's don't allow you to make transfers for 180 days............you know TSP doesn't like to work too hard....................:blink:

I hate to agree, but I do. Besides, moving just because you can doesn't always mean you should. In the bigger picture these moves have little to zero significance.

Yep.... Before we know it, the TSP Managers will program the computers to stop those 1% IFT'S! I would'nt put it past them...

Unless BIG BROTHER "FRTIB" was really keeping an evil eye just on us. I do not think that if all of us on the tracker moved at the same time in one day (633) it would make a blip on the radar out of almost 4 million players.

I will make A DEAL with them.


Give us 4 transfers a month and I will not need to make <1% moves.

However I also don't think tsp can prevent the <1% Option under any circumstances.

So :toung:

Maybe I'm just a bit paranoid....I sure hope you're right!

I don't think will see any more than 2 any more, It makes the daily G fund amount change too much. The goverment needs to know the max amount
they can (again) borrow from it to avoid the spending cap. Sorry to raise old bones.

No problem lots of us like to blow off steam about the subject.

I think its silly though for anyone to be concerned that the <1% option can be "overused". Its a pretty useful tool and I intend to use it to my heart's desire!

Guess we'll see. 3000 members making one or two moves a week shouldn't have mattered either...................:suspicious:

I looked at the free trial page and searched the forum but I can't find out when the trial will be over. Have you decided on a date yet?

I_T ---- learning as we go!!!!! Just want to say "many thanks" for the education & guidance you have been providing.

I_T now I am not 100% certain, but I think the TSP has to allow us the <1% option b/c the amounts you have in the C,S,I funds are prone to go UP or go DOWN by fractional amounts. The last <1% move I made was to recover where I was because the I fund took a big hit and my amount went down and that was lower than what I intended to have in the I fund.

I am sure these <1% moves are not under "the Bored's" radar but I see the option as useful - as for the option being "insignificant" I hope to prove that to be incorrect - I think there is plenty of potential

Frequent trading to and from the I-Fund is what supposedly doubled the trading cost and put us in this boat in the first place. Ultimately it doesn't matter what you & I think, it matters what the TSP Board thinks, and they believe they are well within their right to manage your money how they see fit, and they've proved they can do it without your permission.

So guess what, you have the right to move your money 100% of the time to the G-Fund. It just so happens the government has the right to borrow your money from the G-Fund, should it decide it needs to pay off some debts. Both Clinton & Bush have done it, will Obama be next?

TSP's low trading cost are not worth the risk acceptance of the government having control over my money. Governments around the world have & will continue to siege retirement pensions, don't be fooled, there will come a day when they will borrow our money, and be unable to pay it back...
