Markmars Account Talk

Well up and down, I’m down 2% for the year on tracking at home. Looking for an end of summer rally to get back in positive territory, right now it looks scary but this could be the time to buy. I’m going to ride it out in the S fund through August.

 

[markmars]

Well I’m staying with the S fund for know. Market looks bad but it can turn around just as quickly. Today is going to be a down day, but who knows what tomorrow may bring.

 

[markmars]

Thats it for me heading to the G Fund. Lets see what the next 30 days bring and I might jump back in.

 

[markmars]

Well I have not been active in my own thread I’ve only posted in others.
I’ve done quite well since coming to TSP talk 16.67% for this year so far 20.92% last year.
I forecast my rate of return at 9-10% so I’m doing better than I expected.
Thanks for all you help TSP talk!

I’m waiting to see what happens in January after the rally. I expect a downturn in stocks with the largest in the S fund.
If there is a 7%-8% correction in the S fund I’ll be jumping on board.
I’ve been avoiding the S fund due to the Affordable Care Act, after reading it two years ago it look to me like it would have a very negative impact on small and medium caps. With the growing momentum to repeal it I want to jump back on board the S fund.

 

[markmars]

So I switch to the G fund to wait for a good buying opportunity and the market rallies.:worried:

 

[markmars]

Still waiting for a correction but I’m not going to wait too long I’ll be jumping out of the G fund by February or March.

 

[markmars]

Jumping back in! 33% C Fund, 33% S Fund, 33% I Fund, and 1% G fund.

[markmars]

tsptalk you gonna tell him/her or am i gonna have too

What do I need to be told????

 

[GUCHI]

your already 99% invested in equities, so 1% in G is not gonna make a substanial difference to adding to those equities. just saying

What do I need to be told????

 

[markmars]

No 1% just gives me a little cash to play with. I’ve never had funds in the G fund for very long it is too easy to miss that big gain in the stocks. If I see a major correction in the C, S, or I funds I’ll jump in to that fund with the 1 %.

Today was a good day! Plus my TSP funds when in yesterday when the market was on a low!

 

[markmars]

I came with in $500 of having $200K in my TSP. Now I’m $6k away. I’ll keep buying It’s just a matter of time before I get $200K.

 

[markmars]

Went over $200K last week! It was back down Friday but I know it will back over this week! Next $250K! I'm giving $23K to the TSP ever year so I should reach that with in 2 years.

 

[markmars]

I’m up to 127 on the Auto Tracker don’t know how that happen I’ve been staying in the 200-300 range.
Looks like some good buying opportunities for today, it looks to be an interesting week.

 

[markmars]

The Dow is falling the Dow is falling! :nuts:

I’m still at almost 3% for the year I’m not collecting on my TSP for 9 more years.
This is a little bump in the road because it might go down further but it will go back up.
Look at it this way stock is on sale!:suspicious:
