Nice work. Thanks.

So the winner is F, C, S (1/3 each) when you want to go a bit conservative. The aggressive option is to park 100% in the S fund, but you need a long horizon. I am still wrapping my head on how to take advantage of the I fund. I know that in 1/2 to 3 yrs. it will lead, as it did in the mid 2000's. Who knows, anyway great job.

F/C/S is looking really tempting.

Well, this stinks. I was fooling around "My Settings" and cleaned out my saved attachments folder. Apparently that was not a place to just store attachments - once deleted they deleted the attachments from the posts/threads they were ultimately placed in.

WOW! Remind me not to do that. Maybe it can be restored, ask Tom.

Re-posting from the posts earlier in the week after I deleted all of my attachments by mistake.

Last of the re-posting of recently deleted attachments...

Did not think that was going to happen. I figured the attachment folder was a temporary holding ground until the attachment was pasted/published into the post. Wrong! Live and learn...Oh well, it was probably less than 20 posts altogether.
