The roller coaster ride continues. Safety bar down and keep your arms and legs inside the car. This kind of ride isn't fun but stay safe.

Well, I see we are picking up where we left off last week.

 

[nasa1974]

The "S" fund had a nice finish for the week. Still a ways to go. Sticky pants and depends deployed and standing by. Congrats to those hanging on to the "C" fund.

So far the "I" fund is leading the pack today. It would be nice if the "S" fund could get a little greener but I'll take anything green right now.

 

[nasa1974]

I think I jinxed it. :smashfreakB:

 

[tsptalk]

It was you? I was wondering what happened.

 

[nasa1974]

It's been a good January so far for the "C" and "I" funds. Not so good for the "S".
For the "S" fund can we finish the last Friday of the month in the green? Two of the three Fridays have been.
Holding on for the ride. The sticky pants are working but I added a seatbelt just in case.
Good luck everyone.

Crazy ride in the "S" fund so far today. Anyone have any motion sickness pills handy?

Three days of profit gone today just like that.

:banghead:

 

[nasa1974]

Well today's close in the "S" fund gave back about 2/3rds of what I lost yesterday. I finished today just above the closing numbers from last Friday. Back on the positive side of zero YTD.

Monday - good
Tuesday - BAD
Wednesday - GOOD
Thursday - good

What the heck happened around 2pm? The "C" & "S" funds started to drop like a rock.

My guess is that the fecal matter hit the oscillating device...

That was interesting to hear. I am amazed though. I have never been able to see the value of the funds until after COB. How were you able to see that nasa1974?

midge, welcome to TSPTalk. I have an app on my phone that tracks the market so I can see what the TSP funds are doing.

Hi gammymidge, and welcome.

Here are quotes of the individual index or ETFs that track the C, S, I. and F-funds, in that order...

So, how do we finish off this short week? :1244:

 

[nasa1974]

Well, I think the last 4 trading days for February wasn't bad. Wednesday stunk. We finished off the week on a positive note and started March in the green. Adding an extra handrail on the coaster just in case. Everyone have a safe and great weekend. I get to go watch my 10-year-old granddaughter in a play tomorrow.
