I guess my avatar is an indication of the direction of my TSP for this calendar year.
It appears that both are in the deep freeze.
We may even get snow on the Gulf of Mexico.

I've got one buy trade left this month. If I had unlimited trading I would have bought a 10% share yesterday. These handcuffs are costing me profits, e.g. today's gains. Right now I'm 75% in stocks, so if I want to buy at all the TSP wants me to INCREASE my risk by making biggers moves rather than smaller incremental moves. See it's all tilted for Wall Street. I'm not a day trader like some, so I get shafted.

I see the reference to handcuffs, but I'm not sure this post belongs in the TSP Jail thread.

there are a few others that deserve honorable mention but either they don't have a picture or i can't seem to work with it.

this is a fine boat we're in guyschultz, fishalaska, and fireweathermet, welcome aboard.

don't matter anyway, the cashier won't accept them unless they match the jail card id, available on request.

if you tuff out the legal situation the way you tuff out the investing one we're facing, i have no doubt you will be long-term succesful in both.

 

[burrocrat]

no offense to those that follow, but i have to admire your fortitude.

there's lots of noise out there, if you time the market but are wrong then you're a 'fool' and should be indexing, but if you index and don't get out at the right times then you're a 'fool' too.

don't worry about all that, just do what you do because it's what you feel you need to do, no matter your reasons.

and above all, don't panic.
