TSP Jail

Sort by newest Sort by date
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. ;)
 
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.

Okay what is TSP jail? Is it about not being able to trade because I've used my two trades? Or is it about somebody's sticky pants? If it's about sticky pants I'll go away because I thought this was a stock board, not a lap dance room.

I hope that was said with one of these..":D"..Cuz there is a serious side of the MB a very serious side...but there must be for harmony, a balance of joviality too..Hope you can partake in both equally.;)

yeah, what kar crazy said. just a place to hang out and post something maybe not a good idea in another thread, have a little fun. members get a Get Out Of TSP Jail card and number, gotta have an avatar to use for id picture. You can carry it around as a reminder to keep in line so you don't get banned, or maybe try showing it to the highway patrol next time they suggest you slow down, let us know if it works.

you're welcome to join us if you are so inclined.
 
the sticky pants cards came about as a way to chide folks for holding on to their allocations as the market plummets, birchtree and nnuut got the first ones. i think that is what they mean when you see a post refering to sticky pants anyway.

people who are currently in the neighborhood of minus 5% or better (worse?) on the tracker so far this year got one recently, they had to be holding on tight to get those results. maybe you don't really want one of those.

all in good fun.
 
gwert, there was a time just posting in this thread got you instant membership, but seeins how you may have stumbled in on accident we'll let you sneak out with the crowd when visiting hours are over.

we don't lock up and torture folks for no reason you know, only for good reason. but you're welcome to stay, census coming up and it's helps with the funding.
 
QWERT, this is a very serious MB. Go look at the other topics. The Lounge, Politics and other threads under "Miscellaneous Stuff" are the social side. Participate if you dare but have a very thick skin. The rest of this MB is very much TSP oriented.

If you spend all your time watching the funds go up or down and second guessing your decisions, you will go nuts.

Welcome

Well, I had just finished intermittently watching parts of the movie Tombstone when I logged into TSPTALK and read Hugo's (aka Fireweathermet's) comments. :D



"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear." - Harry S Truman, August 8, 1950​
