Congrats to those in the "I" fund, you had a nice day yesterday.

Got to hope for a little up swing today, but the sticky pants are on just incase it is a wild ride.

Hoping for a strong November.
 
100% "S" fund and Monday was scary. Yesterday the ghosts and goblins gave us a nice finish for the month. Now if we can close out November and December with strong numbers everyone will be happy. Lets keep our fingers crossed and the sticky pants at the ready. Good luck everyone.
 
What a ride. This first hill is a steep one. Sticky pants on, safety bar in place and hands in the air. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
 
Wow!! When was the last time all 4 Mods were the top four posters for a 24 hour period?


And now we are not. :eek:
 
Nice rally yesterday. I'm guessing most of it do to the tax reform news. Yesterday's rally almost has me out of negative territory for the month. Still a good year so far at 13%+ but just off my yearly high point. Lets hope the tax plan and the start to the Holiday shopping season keeps the market in the black. Sticky pants still on since the ride may be a little rough yet.
 
Let's hope the political fallout in Germany doesn't rattle the American markets.

Fridays close was a little surprising, but I'll take it.

Sticky pants still on. We may be in for a wild ride with some of the geopolitical stuff going on.
 
Interesting finish yesterday. Can I get lucky and see a 4.5% gain through December? If I do I will hit my goal for the year. Definitely not unhappy with 14% but it would be nice to hit my benchmark. This weekend could give us a great boost going into December. Still expecting a bumpy ride so the sticky pants will stay on. Not gripping the safety bar quite as hard though. :D
 
In the AutoTracker top 20 the majority have stayed in the "I" fund all year and have had a fantastic return. Looking at those folks in the "I" fund now, that were in the "I" fund last year, have really done well sticking to their plan. They jumped from a 2% profit last year to over a 20% profit this year. Great job.
In comparison to the folks in the "S" fund for the year that were "S" fund for 2016 that are down about 1.3% from last year. Still a 15% return so far is nothing to complain about.
The "C" fund folks have done well this year compared to last year also. Showing a 17% return so far compared to a 12% last year.
Also interesting is out of the top 500 very few IFT's made, lots of zero's.

Good luck everybody.

Nasa, regarding your 'benchmark,' does that reflect an average return of 18.5%/year?

Whipsaw,

It was more like "gee I wish I could get to this $$ by the end of the year". Didn't really reflect on what the expected percentage to be, but I have been fortunate that the last few years have been double digit returns. Now that I'm close to the "gee" number it's kind of like, will I be able to get there? Of course there are a few "what if's". However, if I finish the year close to where I am now I will be happy.

Senate Panel Drops TSP Catch-Up Contribution Restrictions, A Blow to Pay Parity, and More

"Less than a week after floating the idea that older employees should no longer be able to make extra contributions to their retirement accounts before taxes, that proposal appears to be off the table, for now."
 
So the way I read it, once Net Neutrality is repealed it opens the door to charging more for content delivery and the small players like Tom's TSPTalk get priced out of the market. :mad:

That's a possibility. More than likely forums like this will be available but at a much slower speed and a higher cost to the user.
