Well here on the North Coast it is a pretty chilly and snowy New Years Eve. About an inch of fresh snow on top of 2.5 inches yesterday. It's 20 degrees and falling with a wind chill of around 3. Bundle up folks and have a safe day.
 
Yesterday was a reality check. Finished 2013 at #20 on the Tracker. The market has it's worse opening since 2008 (thanks Tom) and today I am #906. I can live with the Tracker numbers as long as I have a positive percentage. Good luck everyone.

They are having a sale on Wall Street you are buying stoke at a reduce rate.

I'm only in 50%. Not sure about the big drop yesterday unless the reduction in bond buying spooked some people. I am thinking of using an IFT to go to G and get back in later. Personally, I think most stocks are overvalued, but I only mad 19% last year, so I'm not the best at timing.

No worries, I think we'll see the FFunders drop back down the rankings list. Sad for them but :D for us.
 
No need to worry just yet. I think yesterday was just people forced to raise some cash to pay off their massive capital gain liability from last year. If you have been reading BT's thread you know he was probably responsible for it all himself. Go easy on him -- it's hard to be forced to sell :D

I'm not worried. As long as I can finish the year on a positive note I really don't care where I am on the tracker. Since 2004 I have only finished the year in the negative once and that was 2008. 2013 was my best year however.

I really don't care where I am on the tracker either, as long as I am making good returns.
 
OK!! I didn't see this one coming. The FRTIB now has a TWITTER account as of December 16,2013.

"Washington, D.C. – The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (FRTIB) announced today that it has launched its Twitter account - @tsp4gov.

Do they really mean that they will take questions from TSP participants LIVE? Wow, I hope they understand they might have to really answer questions, opening Pandora's Box?
