TSP.gov website question

[mama_kins]

I think it was on Thursday that C,S,and I did so well. However, I didn't see my account increase on the tsp.gov website. I called them and they said that due to the holiday, they were behind in getting the accounts updated. I thought, hmmm.

But, now Friday when I looked; of course, I was still in the C,S, and I, and of course, it took a big hit. Of course, my account went down. Initially, I thought maybe when C,S,I went up the day before and went down Thursday, that maybe I would have come out a bit more even from the previous day. But, no, not in the least.

So, does this sound right what they said? Seems like they missed the day when the C,S,I had a good increase the other day.


I will also add that on Thursday when the C,S,I funds all increased, my account on tsp.gov when down $8. I don't understand that. So, I never did see an increase when the 3 funds all went up.

To be honest mama, I don't check account very often these days and if there were anything strange going on, I would miss it. In the past I have never had any problems.

The account information is generally not updated until 6:00 AM ET the following business morning so perhaps you are just a day behind? TSP also says - "On occasion, heavy volume during the nightly processing cycle may delay the update by a few hours."

If you get confirmations sent, I would check those to see what days and at what share prices your transfers took place.
