alternatively, you could contribute 5% and only 5% of your salary to get the free double cash match. keep it all in G, everbody keeps a portion of their investments in cash anyways. take anything else you are putting away each pay period in a low cost broker like scottrade or schwab. first fully fund roth ira, then regular brokerage, and invest in low cost index etf's equivalent to c s i with no transaction fees executed immediately as much as you like with no delay or limited number of trades. also you can borrow up to 50% of your tsp holdings (the part you paid in) and invest that in the same independent brokerages. leave the gov free money in cash for diversification and go hog wild in private accounts with unlmited investment options. pay yourself back at the G fund rate and when the loan is settled borrow as much as of your own money back as you can. that way only a minimum of your portfolio is limited by the tsp gloved fist (mostly their free money to begin with) and it's all cash, ie the full faith and credit of the us as gauranteed by the fed. when you pay the loan off do it again.

That has happened to me a lot, sadly then the market would turn around and make me look like a fool, it's a TSP generated trap, need more IFTs a month.Doin the jail house rock for the rest of the month. Went to the G fund the day before the election, back to C, S yesterday when the market was edging up. Big mistake! So back to the G house I go. With these moves I can say I'll be losing on a serious upswing between now and Dec
