JTH's Account Talk

Is any one else having problems with TSP wed sight would have been out today if I could have logged in.

Yes -- 2 days now I haven't been able to even view the home page except for during hours where it doesn't really matter. I called today and they weren't very helpful. The guy on the phone just said "it's 50/50" for people trying to access it. Hasn't been 50/50 for me.. just zero all around.

I didn't know you could call to make a transfer. I learned this when I had a minute left before noon, so missed out. C'est la vie -- I will just make myself feel better for the next 23 hours by telling myself that everything happens for a reason.

Thanks for the reply: I did remimber that but the last time I spoke to anyone there, they told me I could not make a move along with a letter telling me I would not be able to move until they told me I could. That did not work out good for me back then so no phone calls. I will try an set things up for tonight an pray for the best.

JTH, Just to be clear. 1100 would be your bottom for a stop loss and bail to G Fund?? What would be your top range 1175-1200? to lock in gains?? Thanks.

Based on current levels (who knows if they will hold but if they did) then I'd look from a bounce from 1206-1233, I'd get out then attempt to make a lower re-entry. First we need to clear 1173 till that happens the downside rules.

I wouldn't know, my sell button is broken

JTH, you are so close to me on the tracker that I can smell your phermones. If you get out - woosh and I'm gone. The top cats in the top 100 will not be there for long. This race is now getting interesting - I feel more like Smarty Jones coming from behind.

Well you wouldn't catch up to me so I guess I had to catch up to you, let's play chicken

Thanks JTH...... Appreciate it!

I had no access these past two days as well. This is not the first time TSP was unable to handle high volume days. I suspect it is purposeful.

I haven't tried to change my contributions, but I haven't had any problem logging in before noon.

Very glad to see a better "mood" today and a good day of "regains" for those "in"!

Big John is right this market is being manipulated, there are both political & black-box forces at work this was not a natural occurrence. I too don't care to sling the mud, just point out the obvious. For those who watch Fibonacci levels I had to re-adjust due to the lower low. My 1100 held but that doesn't mean the damage is done.

FYI Bonds issued a sell last Friday. As I've mentioned before, for bonds it usually means a pause instead of a pullback mostly because bonds are in a strong Bull market.

What am I looking at? What does it all mean? Please explain to this novice.

It's a broad brush painted over the bond market designed to identify key levels where buy/sell opportunities exist. If I told you anything else you'd have to subscribe to my premium service

I think I'm going to start my own premium service too. I'll call it "Lucky Strike" (not after the cigarette) because it would be based on my guesses.
But seriously, I understood your first analysis, it's just that I don't see anything when I look at the pictures.......that's a jab at myself, not you.

I was kind of thinking of entering tomorrow with seeing hardly anyone selling their posistions to lessen their losses. I figured since I missed all the downslide I could take a chance for a gain. I think the majority of the down move is over and the bounce off of 1100 was more than just a bounce. Are you in and holding?

No, my bond system is not tied to the stock systems, while they often trade inversely to each other it's not always the case.

If I had missed all this downside action I would not be recommending an entry here, you lose nothing by waiting for further confirmation, JMHO.
