Yeah, but Tom's right. Unless you are a buy-n-holder don't worry about how many shares you have or don't have.

Concentrate on how much $$$ you gain or lose each day. This is what I do each trading day- I go to the TSP site and print out my account balance. I then figure out how much I either gained or lost from the previous day.

I keep a running tally on each daily printout of how much I am either up or down for the month.

It's really a simple method- right below the total balance, I place either a (+) or a (-) followed by the amount I either gained or lost from the previous day.

I then add that amount to my "running tally" I have on the bottom of the page.

My running tally only reflects my gains. So if I incur a loss that day, I simply subtract it from my running tally. To sum up, you have-

1. Total Balance of your account reflecting any gains & losses w/ (+) or (-) then the amount.

2. Running Tally of your gains

This is simplistic and works for me.

Rod I too print out my tsp account balance every day, but never thought about puttting either a (+) or a (-) followed by the amount I either gained or lost from the previous day. Very good advice.

Thank you

Yeah... since I'm a pretty simplistic kind of guy, it works out great for me.

Then like I said, I keep a running tally on the bottom- say, for the entire month so far.

I'll then start off with a new tally on the 1st.

I might sell some Friday... not sure yet. The C-fund has irritated me. Maybe it won't break out 'til after another rate hike. Hmmm.

The "C" fund has been a little disappoiniting lately. I put in a transfer for this morning to 50/20/30 GSI. Future market's up a little. I want to see just how well retail does this weekend (biggest shopping time of the year). Oil up again too.
