Hello...I've been lurking around for a couple weeks and my eyes have been opened. I've started manipulating my allocations based on market conditions...something I hadn't realized I could do until learning about this site. Thanks.
My current dilema is figuring out how to track my account. I use Quicken to track my Scottrade account and my IRA account. I can download QIF files or manually enter the transaction data. It also automatically downloads current market prices for my stocks and mutual funds. I've not found a way to do any of this with TSP. I'm reduced to updating my Quicken file on a quarterly basis.
Is there a way to find out some of the following:
When do monthly allocations post? Knowing the day would help a lot since I can look up the Fund price for any given day at tsp.gov
Are there specific fund indexes that Quicken will recognize to automatically update my TSP funds?
Should I be using different financial planning software for TSP?
Thanks for the input. I tried looking around the message boards to see if any of this has been covered before...no joy.
lifer.
