Post Your "12-Month Personal Rate of Return"

It is true, this thread is in fact worthless as we take these numbers at face value, that value being your word. At the same time I'm not going to go out and accuse someone of lying, but I will say put up or shut up by joining the tracker. Your previous returns mean nothing to me, what you do in the public forum is what counts. Now if anyone here feels the need to prove themselves, they can send me their PDF statements and I'll be happy to verify their integrity.
Where do I send it? I can send you a screen shot of the 12 month return.

It looks like the TSP site has been updated. 2011 has been kicking me pretty hard, but I'm still in the green...
12-Month Personal Rate of Return:
39.87%
 
PUH LEEEEZ !

Either you are (a) Extremely, extremely,extremely EXTREMELY ...L.U.C.K.Y !
Or you are (b) A L.I.A.R!

You mean to tell me that a newb, comes on here to TSPTALK and posts returns that even the most hardened experienced seasoned investor can't even achieve? You must think were all a bunch of idiots. Anyway I got a big laugh so at least you got comedic skills for sure.

But seriously if your that hot, you should start a premium service and just quit your day job, you could make a living managing other peoples money ..Hell, I aint even seen numbers that big put up by professional money managers! I also noticed your not even on the autotracker, I would love to see you sign up, I mean you should have no trouble catching up to us guys who are at the top with our meager 10-13% returns ( I bet you make that in 2 months huh?)

Oh and I just loved the quotations. (On a ROLL) ( I'd Say!) (Timed the recovery well) ( Yeah!, REAL well!) :laugh:

I understand your position and I will take your skepticism as a compliment. The 2010, 2009, and 12-month PRR are directly from TSP.gov, so it is exactly correct according to my TSP account. 2010 and 2009 are from the annual statement and the 12 month PRR is listed under my balance. In addition, I did sign up for auto tracker in the middle of May and I will expect to move up the board, but it does not reflect my gains from the previous week. I actually finished May up about 1.25%, which is not amazing, but my 12-month PRR is high because I consistently outperform the stock market and I did that again in May, so I consider it a successful month. I refuse to consider the auto tracker as a competition and I don’t expect to finish in first place after a late start. I only compete with myself and I would actually like to help others succeed. I appreciate that you think these numbers reflect that I could do this professionally. If you know of any job offers, I’m open to the idea. I currently provide financial advice to co-workers and advise them when I make an IFT. Their PRR is not equal to mine because I always make my IFT decisions at the last minute and they don’t always receive my distribution text or email in time for their moves to match mine. I will ask one of them to check his PRR, I believe it is over 30% in the last 12 months after I convinced him to leave the G-fund in the middle of 2010. I can post all my IFTs over the last twelve months if you believe that would help me gain the trust of the other members.
 
I can believe him. I dont know how I've done it, considering I had not looked at my TSP for over a year until September of 2010 when I found out about this website. At that point I was 20+% for 12 months (Never got out of the market in 2008, so just had to ride it out) TSP.GOV tells me now I'm over 40.2% for the last 12 months.

Top performers according to TSPTALK in annual returns.
2008 #1. Poolman. returns = 19.3 %
2009 #1. Tractor. returns = 53.44%
2010 #1. Sentiment survey returns.= 35.16%

However I'd like to congratulate mark c, and crispy for managing to outperform or in crispy's case come very close to out performing those results. You guys have got so sign up on autotracker. We could really use your knowledge.

current 12 month PRR = 48.12% (on a roll)
2011 YTD = about 18% (not sure where to find the exact amont)
2010 Personal Investment Performance = 28.11% (had a horrible first quarter)
2009 Personal Investment Performance = 53.50% (timed the recovery well)
