No, actually Dennis....your strategy, specific stragety, concerning your TSP is exactly what I would enjoy hearing. I do value your knowledge and advice....I'm just not yet savy enough to understand it all, and I do not have the means in which to invest otherwise (the TSP is pretty much all I have)....therefore, I don't have the "energy" to try to learn all you know. Mainly, because too many other things garner my attention...like loving retirement and playing! I have no desire at all to be rich....I already feel rich...I just want to spend what I have on enjoying the rest of my life, and hopfully not totaly run out. Any help in the TSP funds arena from you is greatly appreciated!

Just click on your User CP and click on edit ignore list, then add Birchtree.
Edit to add: Although I somewhat agree with you, I think it's easier for you to ignore him, then for Birchtree to change his ways. If it bothers the owner of the thread, then that's something the owner can take up publically or via PM.
Naw....I'd never do such to ole Birchy! He means well.....doesn't he???

Well I'm in the market so I'm loaded and now I'm playing.
This is where it gets fun. I will place my next IFT at the appropriate time.
I am still looking for the Santa Claus Rally.
My next IFT will probably be tomorrow. We will see. Currently Futures are
down. http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/stocks/futures.html
I am expecting an announcement on the Big 3 very soon. It will be positive.
I'm not worried.

I am not really worried about it.
I think they will get a Deal/Bailout...
A structured bankrupcy would probably be better overall but worse for alot of working people. :suspicious: That is the main concern of the Dems. The UAW always votes and supports them.

What's your take on the effects of the change in GE's credit rating and the break through the bottom of the rising wedge formation? Just a one day deal or could we head down?

poolman - hope your job leads turn out. I was thinkin of you today as I scrubbed the top edge of the pool tiles. Air temp 50, pool temp unknown, the thermometer broke and I never replaced it. My hands still ache. Can't imagine being in the cold(er) water of your clime for a living.
Since your house here seems to be a place for others to spar/talk/etc.
Birtchtree - there is a thread called
TSP Talk Forums > Financial Planning Talk 
Investment Portfolios
that may be a place to talk about life outside the TSP. No one seems to use it much. I like to see all the talking, possibly bragging, in the account talk threads. More visible.
JTH and Lobo - ignore Birtchtree! Heresy! Gotta get all the opinions and diversity on the MB we can.
Wonder Woman? Brings back lots of fantasies from when I was in my 20s. Where is she? How can I contact her? Could we...
Back to reality for a moment. Watching, listening, learning and a whole lot of BS luck allowed me to see 8% gain during the T-day week bounce. I hope for a Santa Clause bounce but am in at a much less dangerous level. Will be back to G for the new year. Not that I really know what I am doing but am learning and have 9-10 years to go before retiring. If it all goes wrong I can leave it where it lies and become a desciple of Birtchtree's philosophy.
Thank's to all for all the inputs. Happy Holiday's and best of luck to you all!
And, poolman, thanks for letting me use your house for my post.

Well the Big 3 got there Bailout this morning.
I placed a 30% Bet on the Market's breaking out of the Wedge and for it to run the rest of this year. Market's have pulled back into the wedge for now. So now I wait to see how much lower it wants to go before I commit my other 70%. My plan is to still get out with a gain and the market does not have to go as high as when I committed my first 30%.
I'm still looking for a Santa Claus Rally.
PessOptimist,
Thanks for your comments, and your are welcome here. Everyone is welcome here.

Hope your right poolman and this lasts a bit....I gotta sneaking hunch that the last hour willl be killed. I think the shorts will try and make a run befor the holiday season.
Thanks Frixxxx,
So far market's are looking good. Market's are going to want to do good, they want the consumers to feel good about spending money.
I know that this is a farce, It's part of the game.

I didn't think the auto deal would hold the market, but now I see Paulsen is starting to push out the second half of the 350 Billion. Hmmm...Thanks Frixxxx,

I wonder who is going to step up to the trough for their share.

Ahh how I miss those timeless martial spats
It would certainly be an ackward marriage as the man doesn't even know who I am. It's Ms. Marvel to you my good sir.
I will be back more fully after the 1st of the year. It's crunch time now. Good luck on your investing. I was a little premature on my leaving F fund, but the Business cycle buy & hold system is doing VERY well. More to come. (Thanks poolman for the use of your thread - you have some good info here)
