My PIP took a big hit in Jan, like many others. Jan 2013 was good and last month was tough. I dropped from 14.94% in Dec to 8.64%.
Looking at last year, I stunk from Feb through Aug. Only 1 of those 7 months was better than +1.16% so I am optimistic that my PIP has lots of room to grow.
PO, what is so impressive about your track record is your ability to avoid disaster in truly disastrous years. Nice going!

IT I am glad to see you post this. I see a whole lot of euphoria about what happened in 2013. Many new members seem to think that their PIP will continue up and up. Nothing against being a permabull but these relative newbies really need to look at the past autotracker results and try to believe that not everyone was stupid.
I am not trying to say I am not stupid when it comes to my TSP. I am largely buy and hold with sparodic manic efforts to swing trade. The below results are somewhat ball park before 2008 but are based on account balance less all personal and matching contributions. Not to be confused with actual ROR since there is only one compounding period and TSP did not give PIP results at that time. Also keep in mind that in the early years those gains are based on a very low balance. I threw out the first year, 1998 since I am not sure how to compute gains starting at 0. The answer I am sure is in the CAGR spread sheet posted here by I forget. I saved the spread sheet but forgot who posted it. Not really worth figuring out ancient history.
2013 15.39%
2012 3.65%
2011 1.88%
2010 6.99%
2009 8.98%
2008 -0.23%
2007 5.7%
2006 7.76%
2005 3.96%
2004 6.03%
2003 9.45%
2002 -0.49%
2001 1.82%
2000 2.98%
1999 7.27%
The point is that many new people seem to think the 2013 gravy train will continue. I caution it may not be so.
PO

S fund's 12-month return at the end of Dec 2013: 38.35%
12-month return at the end of Jan 2014: 26.89%
It made 1% in Feb of last year. If it can beat that, it will go back up. It made 4.69% in Mar of last year, so that one will be tough to beat. 12-month returns (PIP) will fluctuate quite a bit month to month. Iget the feeling some new folks think there PIP should go up every month. That isn't going to happen, unless of course you are parked in the G fund the whole 12 months and it's returns move steadily higher.

Since a lot of these folks were probably in the S fund, maybe posting the Wilshire 4500 would be good too... just a thought

Maybe we should start posting what the S&P 500 is doing to see how everyone compares. At the end of Dec, the S&P 500's one year return was 29.59%. At the end of Jan, it was 19.03%. I'll try to remember to update it monthly.
