To whom it may concern,
The charts seem to say that a certain participant to remain unnamed is near the top of the list for % return. Given the posts by said person it would seem to dissuade any future membership. I can only suggest that perhaps this persons accounts and any other posts she has made be temporarily deleted/ locked/unviewable until the charts can adjust themselves to put her in the proper ranking. The lucky streak will end and when it does then you can reinstate her. I feel this is best for the site. Don't hesistate to take action and any protests from her should be ignored. I want to the site grow and with her near the top it can't be good.

It was her idea. I can't seem to get a handle on her like she has on me.

It might be the market, or it might be that they think they can do better without having to post every move. That's the conclusion I reached quite awhile ago when I asked to be removed from it. Maybe it's just dumb luck / fate, but my returns did improve considerably after I stopped posting what I was doing (and no, this has nothing to do with manipulating the numbers - I have all the IFT's if anyone's really interested in knowing my return right now).
I just want to make money. As for the monthly/weekly/yearly competition... meh. If retiring a few years earlier than anticipated means sacrificing online bragging rights for an occasional good month/year, I'll gladly make that trade.
And mlk_man, stop emailing me that damn tracker!

I'm taking advantage of the July 4th Holiday. I'm headed to the beach today and am out of town. I probably will not be able to post the complete Tally till later in the week.

I don't get the connection. How have your moves changed as a result of not having to spend that one extra minute to post them here.
My guess is that your improved returns are merely a coincidence. They could just as easily have gotten worse.
That being said, improved returns are improved returns. Congratulations.

Whatever it takes to make the big bucks. As long as you are using the spreadsheet and are honest with yourself, as I am sure you are.
For the newer folks - We started these "Member Account" threads because it seemed like every new poster came by and said something along the lines of, "I'm up 25% this year!", and the S&P may have been up like 6% at the time. We would all be happy here if we had something like a 7% to 10% return and this new person was all of a sudden giving advice with nothing to back up his claim.
I don't recall who suggested it, it may or may not have been me, but we needed a way to get these people to "put up, or shut up". And that's how it started.
Interesting to note, the folks at the top of the current Tally are either quietly doing well, and are very modest about their strong returns. So next time an obnoxious braggard stops by, ask them to put up, or shut up.

In my case I would also like to use the postings as an excuse. It's probably unfounded but if I don't make a decision by about 11:15 ET, I'm probably not going to make a transfer on any given day.
I may see a need for a change and while I'm preparing the email alerts, posting my move to the message board, updating and uploading the blog (new this year) I'm still trying to decide exactly what allocation to move to. Then I have to make the transfer to both my account and my wife's. Later I go in and change the returns and allocation spreadsheets and upload them to the website.
You'll never see an interfund transfer post from me in the message board at 11:55. I have never made a transfer in my account if I did not do all of that first. Only once did I send everything out but forgot to make my interfund transfer on tsp.gov.
Those who have been with me for the two and half years we've been around may have notice a drop off in my performance the last year or so. It might be coincidence but I have added so much to my plate that it may be hurting me.
So I'd say it has been a slight disadvantage and why I have actually become less active. Not that there is anything wrong with being less active. Maybe I need to hire an intern or staff like RevShark does, so I can concentrate on the trading, which is what I really like to do. I wish.
Bingo! That was one of my points in the last paragraph here http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/showpost.php?p=49044&postcount=56. We [almost] think alike.mlk_man said:
