Hi Mailman.

Hope you are getting the data in a timely fashion to make your decisions.

One note- you might want to only make entires in your "tracker" when you actually make a move. That way you'll save on space. I visited your tracker and it had multiple entires where you posted each day the end of day prices, but didn't make any moves. A few more lines then are necessary.

Good luck, and happy trading.

Thanks James I am getting the data on time and it is very helpful. I like to update my tracker each day even if I dont make an allocation change. I do it because the share prices change each day and that has an effect on tracker results and the trackers comparison with the individual fund returns and such. I like to watch those changes on a daily basis. I can see your point how only making an entry when I made and allocation change would not change my net return result and it would save space. If I make an entry every working day my sheet will get pretty long over a year huh? So you got me thinking that maybe I will start a new tracker each quarter. That will keep the length down on each one and I can add the results of each quarter to track progress over the year. Thanks for bringing it up.

That's impressive - you definitely stay on your toes.

Thanks Birch. Its probably more luck than game plan. I get alot of great info from this forum and its members. I'm feelin really good about my #'s so far. I'm also glad I didnt start tracking myself until after learning the ropes so to speak. If I can do just half this good on average over long term I should do well. I got a big fat balance now and 20 years to go. The TSP is a great benifit for us Feds when we choose to make it work for us.
