Sticky pants deployed. The last two hours might be bumpy. :wall:

Just got a new pair today!

Pee Wee is looking for his sticky pants underwear. I think you might have them....

LOL too funny. Thanks guys.

I was looking for my Avenger ones but the wife had them in the wash. :laugh:

Well, May did some serious butt kicking. Had to order another box of sticky pants from Amazon. I guess the positive part is I was 50/50 C/S and not all in "S". Should have stayed 100% "I" from April, but 20/20 doesn't count. Not playing the odds very well lately. Don't get me wrong being 100% "I" in April wasn't a bad move but the "C & S" funds did much better than expected. Monthly returns for June aren't very good for "C/S/I" but I'm going to take a chance and go all in "S" today. Making a move today keeps my two IFT's for June available if needed. I fund is still underplayed but with Brexit not sure how much the European market will drag down the "I" fund. Then again with the stupid tariff BS not sure how the "C & S" funds will react (down big today so far). I'm still double digit for the year so I think I can roll the dice and hope I don't get snake eyes.

Good luck everyone.

Dang it!!! Having a good month. Don't want to give all back the last week of trading. Sticky pants deployed.

 

[nasa1974]

Here is the July returns. "C" fund looks pretty good for the month of July.

 

[nasa1974]

Trying to decide if I jump to the "C" fund tomorrow for the month of July. The first 3 weeks of June where good. These last few days have hurt. Sticky pants still deployed.

 

[nasa1974]

Finally had a nice day in the "S" fund after a few days of nasty red numbers.
Still haven't decided what to do for next month. Historically the "C" fund has outperformed the "S" fund for July. Even the negative years were not as big as the "S" fund losses.
Good luck everyone.

 

[nasa1974]

Decided to jump into the "C" fund. Will have to play it out for the month of July and see what happens.

Got nervous. TSP wouldn't accept my password. Had to play around and get a new password in the system. Good thing we can play with the internet and texting. Would have sucked if I would have had to do it by snail mail like the early days.

It's a good thing we have other options. I had problems with my last few IFT's. I could log in the web page just fine and make my IFT request, but when I pressed the final submit button it would never register the request. I gave up on the internet and ended up using the phone menu IFT option. I'm glad we still have that option and there is more than one way to get things done.

Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th.

Went to a parade in the morning with the grandkids and had everybody over for food and swimming later in the afternoon. Great day.

August doesn't look like a good month to stay invested. Not sure what I'm going to do yet. Attached are the returns for August since 1988.

 

[nasa1974]

My home weather station says 95 degrees and feels like 119.

 

[Mcqlives]

98 herein Illinois...don't want to know the "Feels Like". Missing January at this point

 

[nnuut]

Only 94 Degrees here in Central Georgia! Typical July for us.

[nnuut]

Ok now that you settled that, it's time to change the Climate, do it!

 

[PessOptimist]

It is currently 106 here, real feel 98, old bimetal coil thermometer says it’s 98. Sun is off the patio. High was 106, not bad for this area in mid June.

I really have no doubt global temperatures are rising because I have to believe the data. Every time there is a heat wave it is blamed on Global warming. Every time there is a cold wave it is blamed on global climate change.

What do we need to do to see if we can fix it? Carbon credits didn’t seem to fix it, if you could figure out where to buy them. Many complain about climate change but none seem to have a solution other than send money to someone. The US cannot fix a global problem.

I am with nnuut’s statement. “do it”. We will all help, just tell us what to do?

NASA1974, I apologize for the hijacking of your Account Talk thread.

Now, please, back to NASA1974’s Account Talk.

Anyone serious about the subject can google what we as a society can do; and what we as individuals can do. Yes, you're right, do it!
