Great article, thanks. I too would like to see more investment options. But I do use my IRA for this.

Not the way I read it, but hey, to each their own.After reading the article, I find it to be very one sided, like buying a bridge!
Fact: then why don't I invest allocations 38G, 7F, 43C, 7S and 5I. That's the way the plan would have it.

Actually, that's just the distribution of funds based on how the federal employees have invested their money. It is not meant as a suggested allocation.
The most interesting part of the article in my estimation was the fact that the social security return is pegged to the G fund. Heh. I guess that ends the old discussion we had on here about whether or not returns would be at all enhanced by dumping social security into the G fund... it's already there.

Fact: It is the actual allocation for 3.3 million government workers. Individual allocations may vary, and I'm sure they do!
I just feal, MHO (my humble opinion), that government employees have been kept in the dark, about their investments; investment education, and options!

At least it puts to rest the assertion that people would be reckless with their money - under the scenario of social security money being diverted into a TSP system. If anything, people are too cautious. :shock:
Still... about55% of TSP money is invested in stock funds - that's decent and over a long period of time, the return with an allocation like that would outperform SS by a wide margin.
