The TSP Talk mug will be used proudly at work, perhaps bringing attention to the site.
Maybe you should consider using 5-star ratings for those with top 25% members (based on returns) out of the group that participated in 2005. Then every quarter, you might earn a star (top 25%), lose a star (bottom 25%), or do not change (middle 50%). Given the number of people in the tally who do not have a long-term history (including me) as per website rules, you might want to consider placing everybody who is being tracked as 3 stars, and those who did well in the first quarter as 4 stars. Then, in the 2nd quarter, you might start the changes. It's my opinion that Reputation should be based on returns, and Karma on the quality of advise. Somebody might be extremely helpful and might need to be recognized that way (Karma). Just my 2 cents.

I understand all of your points. I track my returns daily in Quicken, although I rebalance every 3 months back to 30/30/40. I don't need it for my tracking, I just wanted to see how it was doing against the active traders, that's all. I don't care if anyone follows what I do or not. Thanks
Bottom line:
Bought 30% C at 13.12
Bought 30% S at 15.53
Bought 40% I at 16.53
all on 9/20/05 and have held since while dollar cost averaging into these funds likewise. It is up to you all if you want to track or not. I now know the rules better, and I'll try and keep up. I appreciate what you are doing.

If the purpose of the Tracker is to allow TSPers to evaluate alternative investment strategies, Aslan's high risk, passive style and excellent return deserve consideration. In addition, the tracking workload for a passive investor is minimal - one entry per month. Finally, Aslan appears to be a knowledgeable investor and, therefore, a valuable contributor to TSPTalk discussions.
My vote is to track'um.

Didn't know we taking a vote, but thanks for the input. If you can't post in your account in a three month period, I don't see the poiint of having one.
I know that some members are long term buy and holders, but they are also active members of the boards so I know they are still around.
I posted in another thread that I can add Aslan back if he wants to be added back. Still haven't seen a post in his account thread though.

Well the mugs finally arrived and unfortunately I didn't get an upgrade for our delay. As a matter of fact the mugs, while nice, are not the quite the quality I was expecting. Next time I won't buy them over the internet.tsptalk said:
I will ship them out on Thursday to our top 3 April returns (5 total because of ties).
What was decided on how to handle future monthly winners? I know we wanted to get some nicer prizes for quarterly and annual returns but did we agree to send 3 per month?
Here is what they look like...

I don't think we ever said. That's up to you in my book.
