It's a bit difficult to trade his advice within the TSP world, but I do monitor him on a daily basis, he's really good for the timeframe he plays, I wouldn't trade against him. He doesn't make predictions very often, when he does he's usually right, more so than most others.

Hi Kevin,

It looks like we are going to have to cut our vacation short and leave Friday instead of Sunday. Hurricane Irene is the problem here. Oh well You cannot fight mother nature but you sure can try to make the best of a bad situation by avoiding it.

I do have my new metal detector with me and I've used it a total of three times now. So far I have found a little over a dollar in change and my best find so far has been a 1946 Roosevelt silver dime in very good condition. I ended up buying a Minelab E-Trac. If any of you are interested there are a ton of You Tube videos on this machine. I also bought a Sun Ray X1 pointer that is Sweet. Total cost of machine and pointer and accessories was just under 2K.

Awesome Metal Detector... Big Learning Curve...







This is the machine I bought.
 


I got this from one of my wifes retired government friends. I found it Interestingly shocking. :blink:
Man do we have a messed up system or what.

This is a bit of history FOX News is not reminding America that exists! Night after night for almost 3 years they have heard Liberals blame Bush for the financial crisis we’re in.
It seems they’d be out in front stopping Obama at all from blaming Bush for their own poor judgment and lack of foresight.
A bit of history the liberal media doesn't talk about....
SHARE BEFORE IT IS REMOVED

This video clearly shows that George Bush warned Congress starting in 2001, that this economic crisis was Coming, if something was not done. But Congress refused to Listen, along with the arrogant Congressman, Barney Frank. This video says it all. The liberal media reportedly did not want this video on You Tube; it was taken off. This link is of the same video, but is routed through Canada. Everyone in America needs to see this before it is yanked off the Internet again! Let's see how far we can spread it before it's pulled off the Canadian site.

Hey Guy's,

My vacation got ruined because of the Hurricane. Emerald Isle NC got a mandatory evacuation on Wednesday. So we left 4 day's early.
Oh well, I'm just glad the wife bought disaster insurance. We got a check back for 1K.

I know, I know, I kinda got real lazy to the point of not posting vids too. I will get back on that tomorrow night. My work has really been busy and my hours are as wacky as you can get. You know I set my own hours. Problem is I'm a workaholic when your talking $$$.

I've been peeking in on you all. I knew this stock market was going to dump and dump it is. The Economy is weak and I do mean weak. I'm surprised we are still above 10,000 on the Dow. It won't be long. The Economy is stagnant at best and will start getting weaker. We have to pay our dues for the screw up leading up and into 2008.

Bernanke and Crew tried there best to Beat going into recession which maybe at the time was a good idea but they continued until even the Printing presse's are worn out. Time to pay our dues.

Over and Out !
 
Sorry to hear that your vacation was messed up by the weather, but the insurance settlement probably helped. Everyone appreciates what you do here, and are happy to see you back.
I just got approval of my claim for wind damage on our ROOF for $9,000 and am happy as Hell I thought I was going to have to pay out of my pocket! It happened within the last 2 years and had nothing to do with a Hurricane. Oh I'm also getting a new Vinyl Liner in our pool, 14 years old.:D:laugh::D
 
I'm still trying to stay in tune with the Economy but I'm also having a nice break from the worrying about it all. I'm still prepared to make a move if I think it's worth it.
Here is an interesting video, I know that we have climbed the wall of worry. I hope the foundation is good. :p

DEMARK's indicator service is $500/month! I wish I could afford it. He seems to be pretty acccurate most of the time.
 
So I try to make an Inter-fund transfer today over the INTERNET starting at 11:40a.m.
I cannot get through to the site. By 11:50a.m. I call the thrift line and I cannot remember my 4 digit account# and after only the second try it lock's me out. The recording tells me to stay on the line to talk to an account representative. So as I'm holding the line (speaker phone) I continue to try and get through on the Internet to no avail. When the account rep gets on the phone and finally understands what I was trying to do I BLAST HER with negative commentary about there IFT limits, and not being able to access my account through the INTERNET on high volume day's.

Did she care IMO ? NO

Did I make an IFT today ? NO

Bunch of CRAP

DITTO HERE:mad:
 
I've heard from several people complaining that they missed the deadline because of the technical problems today. Frustrating. You would think that the 12 noon ET deadline would not be tough to get around with customer service making the adjustment manually, like I can do with the AutoTracker if someone is a little late. I guess the problem would be if several thousand people were affected, but if someone can get through to them on the phone, it seems they should have the abilty to do it for you. Did anyone ask them if that was possible?

Hey Tom, I was on hold for awhile. They didn't pickup until about 12:15 and at that point I was really mad and didn't feel like resolving anything. I just wanted to vent about there website not being accessible to make an IFT when I needed to make it and also vented about the stupid 2 IFT limit being ridiculous. I know the conversation was being recorded so I broke bad hoping maybe someone might get a hint coming from a disgruntled account holder.

About an hour after all this took place I called my wife, explained to her what I did, and would she please call the thriftline and get our password reset, lol.

I know what your saying though Tom and if this ever happens again I will discuss the problem in a better manner and request that they force the IFT. :)
