Can't the bear just get torn to shreds?

Fab, Great looking Bear Killer !
Gives Pooh a whole new meaning !
:cheesy:
Went to the (G) Gund today after close of business.
No other place to go for the next two weeks. Learning
can be hard sometime, but as a friend so eliquently said
to me a few days ago, I've got to get my head in the game.
One of the lessons can be seen on the tracker. I'm in the 30's
and March Madness seems so long ago. Not to fear, I'll be back
with a vengence.

Hey SB,

This newbie jumped ahead of you in the tracker.

Actually, I just got lucky!!! :laugh:

I jumped mostly back into G but kept my toes in the pond, just incase.

May the force be with us.

Barclays said Friday that shareholders applied for 19% of the 267.1 million shares available under its open offer. The remaining 1,140 million open offer shares have been allocated to Qatar Investment Authority, Challenger, China Development Bank, Temasek and the other institutional shareholders and other investors with whom they had been conditionally placed. CAN ANYONE SAY; OVERPAYMENTS.
:worried:

It's all on TSP.gov and in the new rule...our money isn't ours, it's an investment "pool" and Barclays owns it. Supposedly we own it, but ....

Sorry to hear that. The pic is just one I found on the internet, so please don't associate me with the killer!

Seems like today is kinda quiet and I like that. I chose to get a little more defensive and took an extra 20% back to the G fund. With oil playing such a critical role in the S&P 500's success I didn't want to be too heavy in stocks over this weekend. I started the week at 75G & 25 F, then went 50G & 50C and now I'm 70G & 30C. Boy what a beating the F took this week!

I hope everyone had a fair week, it was sure nice to see this downtrend get broken even if it's for just a little while. Just 9 more trading days till we get our IFTs back

It sounds like your listening closely. I'm out until August and STILL can
finish positive if I left it in the (G). (not much of a chance for that).
Gotta find the positives I guess !

Sorry Nsurf, I didn't catch this question until now. Graveyard Shift !:embarrest:

From what I'm seeing, the Overpayment is "slowly" melting closer
to "zero". I've made a few adjustment to the key to reflect this very
strong feeling I have. If the O/D Tracker continues with this trend,
I'll be reverting the key back to the original (before the June swing
to the overpayment side). I'm trying not to change this too often
to avoid confussion (mostly mine :nuts

EFA vs TSP (I) DEFICIT:
(6/30/08) -0.110% -0.4354 tsp cents
(7/01/08) -0.360% -0.3083 tsp cents
(7/02/08)+0.150% -0.3404 tsp cents
(7/03/08) -0.040% -0.3332 tsp cents
(7/04/08) FEDERAL HOLIDAY (ENJOY)
---------------------------------------
(7/07/08) +0.802% -0.5058 tsp cents
(7/08/08)-1.1409% -0.2585 tsp cents
(7/09/08) +0.794% -0.4264 tsp cents
(7/10/08) -0.786% -0.2592 tsp cents
(7/11/08) +0.457% -0.3527 tsp cents
---------------------------------------
(7/14/08) +0.397% -0.4372 tsp cents
(7/15/08) - 0.508% -0.3229 tsp cents
(7/16/08) -0.3206%-0.2605 tsp cents
(7/17/08) -0.2940%-0.2013 tsp cents
(7/18/08) -0.2422%-0.1504 tsp cents
---------------------------------------

THE KEY:
- .5000 thru- .4000 Barclays Folly !
- .4000 thru -.3000 Out Of Control !
- .3000 thru -.2000 High Overpayment, (Debt Payment Imminent)
- .2000 thru -.1000 Meduim Overpayment, (Flip A Coin)
- .1000 thru -.0000 Low Overpayment, (Goal is Met)

SB,

Just poking fun. :nuts: Hope the salt didn't hurt too much.

If you go to Govexec.com and go all the way to the bottom there is a pick for TSP Monthly returns. 2008 sure looks similar to 2000 and 2001. If you look at all the August returns it is a 50/50 shot at being a good month. So how critical is the next 10 days in getting the bulls to rise above the bears. Going to be an interesting ride. Being in G for the next 10 days may not be a bad position. Have a good weekend.

May the force be with us.

One man's trash is another mans treasure

Just to make you guys feel better, I'm sitting at -8.81% YTD

My Buy and Hold while deployed was more like a sit & sink...

When I got back from my deployment in March, I couldn't even place #166 on the tracker :cheesy:

Salt cleanses, like the ocean, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
50/50 it may be. Thats what i refer to as "flip a coin".
But there are so many signals yelling buy, I'm git'n antsy !
Then again, 2 very strong days does not a Bull Make, not yet at least !
