Thanks M_M. Even though I'm a quiet, daily reader of this great forum,I've tried to follow what you suggest for a while now. Only thing is when I would go to your account file I wouldn't see you posting for days at a time. I assume that means your in the last position that you poseted and haven't changed anything yet? I'm pretty new to "coming out" of the G fund....this is the first year to do so, and I've been in TSP for 12 years now. What a year to "come out"!! Oh well. I do appreicate your work and the huge effort you've put into your system, although I'm not sure I could ever really understand it....I'm just not much of a financial wizard. I sorta have planned on looking at those who are successful and following them as much a possible.

Anyway, am I right that you will make a post each time that you make a change?? So that if I don't see a post, you are staying with your last change. I know it seems simple and clear to you, but, I'm a little slow....getting old....plan to retire in about 3 1/2 years...I hope. As long as I don't screw up my TSP account....heh heh.

Thanks again M_M!!!!!

Yes, you are correct sir...............I'll make a little table and post that when I buy and sell so as to make it easier for people.

Some times I'll be trading daily and other times I won't trade for weeks. Just depends on the market.

3.5 years huh, good for you. Should be able to make you 100% in that time. :^

Sure wish we had an inverse fund though.............

I'm 41 now and plan on being retired in 8 years making over a million a year. Hmmm, can he do it.............We'll see. :shock:

Some of us are just curious about your system, and you don't have to worry about any flack from me. Thats not why I'm here. In fact I would defend your system, and your right to do as you wish. We should be able to discuss our systems without getting a broadside.
I've enjoyed your posts, and we are all in the same boat. Heck, my system has flaws, and I have to work around it. Mainly it's the 1-2 day transfer time that hurts me the most.
Any way do what you want, and if you ned help, just give me a post.

"Retired in 8 years making over a million a year. Hmmm, can he do it...." SURE he can! Good luck to you M_M....and thanks again!

Hey mlk_man, I thought I get off the sideline and get to meet people. I've been reading your post fora few months and find them informative. Like many others I enjoy following alongseeing how everyone is doing, but never would dream of critizing, unless someone was purposely trying to mislead others. Idon't see that with your post. It seems like most of the flack you may be referring to, came from MarketTimer. I haven't read hide or hare from him in quite some time. Besides, wasn't you who said no one can bother or hurt your feelings.Thanks for giving us other members another system to compare ours to.

I can handle the abuse, just don't abuse "the system", she's my baby.........

I think I for one have been supportive. Others have too. Do you think Joel let you down? At any rate, I appreciate that you will be posting your moves. Tom's moves and your movesfactor heavilly into my approach and lately, I'm happy with the results.

At any rate, thanks for continuing to post your moves.

Timer, why would I "give away" a system that gets the kind of returns I'm getting? So other's can "sell it" or whatever? You've seen the kind of jerks coming in here lately. You think that would be smart?

Just enjoy the ride........................

The tone is different since I first joined. I quit posting for a long time, I lurk more now. Things have improved since Tomstarted policing the crap more. :shock:

I have been thinking the same thing lately. Since I started this site 2 or 3 other TSP sites have popped up. I barely break even running this site. I figure if I charged a fee, 95% of the people would flee and howwould that be helpinganybody? So if others take this idea and create some sort of pay "system" site and make a bunch of money based on my idea, more power to them but as you say MM, is it smart of me?

I am wondering what really happened to Rolo and FrizzB. Rolo was such a great personality to have around and he contributed so much to the forum. And FrizzB had great ideas and was a wizard with the numbers. The two of them met here,came up with a system of their own and then one day poof! They're both gone. Coincidence? I hope so.

Tom,you read my mind......how u do that? I was gonna ask you personally what happened to them, guess I don't have to now. I figured Rolo just went off the "deep" end, easy to do when your "bi-polar" i reckon......no offense to those that are!

The one's that have been here for awhile know that Frizz had something going, worked about the same as my orginal system, we pretty much bought and sold at the same time....would it work better in different markets? You tell me......... I came up with my first system to help others, I've came up with my present system to help others in any market. But you know what, greed eventually gets to most, except for the good at heart. I can tell you have a good heart Tom. Except I didn't realize you made money from this site. You should though, I know you put a lot of effort into it.

I've also put a lot of work into my present system, a lot of work!!!!!!!!!! I can leave now and not worry about anything except for the fact that I left someone behind, I find that hard to do. Ex-military and present will understand that.

I've thought about charging people to follow my system, I'm just not sure I can do it. I don't need their money....well, I could use it now, but like i said in earlier posts, I WILL be retired in 8 years making a million a year. I haven't BS'd anyone here yet.............YET............ <)

I'm gonna continue to post my moves for awhile, maybe longer, I really don't thiink it will affect, effect? my returns. I did think "what if someone figures out your system" then I realized, if someone can figure it out, more power to em, I'll bet the farm they can't..............Is that mathmatics guy still in prison? The one that lived in the cabin? Sorry, can't think of his name right now...Kazinskyowskieuwmlindileooewoogledoogle? Something like that.........:shock:

Anyway, if one can turn $5000 into $1000000 in 8 years, how much do you charge for that? My luck, I'll die in 7...................but that's why I'm taking better care of myself:^

And I'm talkiiing about an IRA account where you can play 2X funds and inverse funds, not TSP funds...........Closed on hurricance days and govt holidays... give me a break........does our military get to take a day off then? TSP is a "contractor" right.?maybe I'll put a bid in............

Funny thing is, when you know your're gonna be "one of the higher class" one day, makes you think you"deserve" it...gotta fight that feeling.........when I was a young cowboy, I use to think I was put here for a "reason", of course as you get older and settle into "life" you start losing that feeling,...... maybe I'm here to prove that "nice" guys don't finish last.....nah, screw that....o

If you don't mind Tom, I'd like to e-mail you personally later, I have some other "legal" questions to ask you. I would just send them to you, but I'm a very "un-intrusive" person.

Good luck kids,

M_M

Suggestion Tom: You could start with a modest charge that nobody would think three times about. You could charge a quarterly or semi-annual fee for those already signed up and a slightly higher fee for new enrollees – whatever, I’m sure you can get some good ideas from others more familiar with the issues than I am.

Then you could purchase a super ultralight laptop to logon during your breaks at work if needs be. (http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/4521-6527_16-5021302-2.html?tag=dir.tp)

In fact I’m going to make that donation right now that I previously stated I wanted to.

I put as much money into advertising on search engines as I make with my google ads (Thanks to those of you who click on those google ads). Plus I subscribe to about a half dozen services, so I actually lose money BUT I get the benefits of some of those services which I would use (some of them) anyway.

If you don't mind Tom, I'd like to e-mail you personally later, I have some other "legal" questions to ask you. I would just send them to you, but I'm a very "un-intrusive" person.

Discretion and privacy are my middle name . Email me any time.

I think just paying for anything over the internet is a turn off to a lot of people. I actually do everything over the internet but some are still intimidated.

I really don't do this for the money. I enjoy it. But I admit with my fulltime job, and some of you know I own an art gallery, I don't give as much time to the site as I would like to. If I made a bunch of money I could quit my day job (I'd love to since they gave such a hard time about accessing the site from work) and devote a lot more time to making this site much better. You know the saying, do what you love and the money will come, well, we'll see .

In fact I’m going to make that donation right now that I previously stated I wanted to.

Thanks. That is very nice of you. I've had the paypal donation button on the site for some time but you know how that goes. Much appreciation!

Anyway, this is mlk_man's forum so I digress.

Dry thosetears little lady, Wonder WOman doesn't cry!!!

I'm curious, you talking to me or Tom, or both? I don't think either one of us are going anywhere too soon. As I've said before, I've invited friends and family here to track myy moves and listen to others. My reputation is at stake here..........what little I have anyway.......

BTW, someone ask me earlier why not the C or I funds, guess yesterday was a good reason.......:^

100% G now until I'm "told" otherwise........at least I think, I never did get an e-mail confirmation........guess I should go check...........

Well apparently I'm still in S fund! What the hell gives with that? Think they are monitoring my posts? Hmmmmmmmmmmm

I can get out of TSP while still with the govt. can't I? I know some retirement plans with some companies won't let you rollover your funds as long as your with the company.

This is BS...................:X

You can’t get your money out of TSP but for a few specific situation: leave agency, loan, financial hardship, age-based withdrawal 591/2.

I was responding to you mentioning something about leaving. Guess I should use that quote tab in the future. A couple of posts ago you mentioned family “not trusting” – disheartening isn't it to discover even family can turn on you.

I apologize. You are right; crying is out of character for me. Glad you are not planning to leave soon.

That is disturbing, but it worked in your favor this time.
