I had a much better POker week then a TSP week but it could have been much worse considering the $$$ I was moving about.

I do not know enough regarding the Fed moves so I am playing it safe and staying on the sidelines until this interest ratething blows over.



Good luck to all

The market had me a little worried. If today had been down, the P-SAR would have gone to short and the primary bullish movement would have been in trouble. But, save the day the market is up.

I borrowed a picture from DMA when he was here. I don't think he would mind if I reposted it!

Goldman Sachs now sees Fed rate increase Tuesday
Fri Sep 16, 2005 02:57 PM ET

NEW YORK, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs said on Friday it no longer expects the Federal Reserve to pause in its campaign to tighten interest rates at Tuesday's policy meeting.
In a note to clients, Goldman Sachs economists said the energy price shock generated by Hurricane Katrina as well as greater uncertainty about the economic outlook had "created a rationale for a pause."

"However, given the Fed's apparent comfort with market expectations and press reports to the contrary, we reluctantly have to conclude that a rate hike is now the most likely outcome next week," the economists said.

The Federal Reserve holds its next regular policy meeting on Sept. 20, and the majority of Wall Street finance houses polled by Reuters expects another quarter-point rate increase, which would be the 11th in a row.

Goldman Sachs said that over the longer term, the reconstruction of productive capacity destroyed by Katrina would boost both growth and inflation.

"Assuming that the economy proves resilient, as we expect, the longer-term impact of Katrina will be to lift interest rates," they said.

"In fact, given that Katrina has worsened the growth/inflation trade-off, there is a risk of a higher peak in interest rates than before," Goldman Sachs said.

TSP Fund Returns for Week
Sept 9-16 2005


F-fund -0.47%
C-fund -0.30%
S-fund -0.88%

I was surprised that all the funds were losers this week.

Over the past decade, whenever the week of expiration was negative, the following week was also negative 4 out of the 5 times (the one exception was the outlier of 2001) by an average of -2.8% (excluding 2001). Looking at any month, not just September, then the following week had a 62% chance of being negative with an average return of -0.5%. - source, sentimentrader.com.
