TSP OFFICE CLOSED- QUESTION

[Rod]

imported post

So, since the office is closed, and not expected to be back online until Sep 20, does that mean that those who are invested can not get out if they wanted to?

That would also go to say that those who aren't, can not jump in... right?

If that's the case, I'm glad I'm still 100% G!

Comments?

Rod,

That is correct. Everyone is frozen. Yesterdaywent 5% C, 5% S, 10% I and 80% G. Triple Witching Friday could be interesting and I want to be out of the way.

Good for you, MT!:^

I don't know why none of us gave any thoughtto the possibility of the office closing down. It sure didn't cross my mind!

Rod,

They are home based in New Orleans. As soon as I saw Ivan is headed that way I did the switch. I should of mentioned that on this board. I bounce around between boards. I guess in the future you will have to put that in your memory banks.

Hopefully your current allocation works out for you. Oil going up and triple witching is making me nervous. MT

Yeah, I knew they were in NO, but I simply didn't think about it.

I should be alright. I'm 100%G.

BUT, I don't know if our mobile home will be (which we are currently in the process of selling)... which is located 40 miles N of Biloxi.:end:

Then again, we could use the insurance $$$!!!:!

Rod,

A lot of folks in FL are taking their insurance check and moving away. I wish you luck. Stuff can be replaced. Take care of yourself first.

I am praying for you and your family.

For those of us gamblers who like to change their investments almost daily, this is like having your hands tied behind your back. This blows.

Luckily, I am 'stuck' in a relatively safe F fund.

It'll be interesting to see how the share prices are updated when the TSP office reopens. Will it be a jump from Sep 13 to Sep 20? Or will they fill in the dates that they were closed? You'd think they would be able to see market returns for this weekand fill in those dates, even though we have to stay put.

At any rate, hope you are 'stuck' in your favorite fund.

Namor,

If the Ivan is a terrible...it could be weeks. Hopefully everyone is stuck where they want to be. :shock:. I wish I went 100% G. I got greedy and will take a hit on my 20%.

MT is right... If Ivan directly hits New Orleans, it will be under 12 to 18 feet of water.

That would take WEEKS to recover from, and get back to "normalcy".

But, I've been following the storm pretty closely... and it's a pretty safe bet that he will make landfall near Mobile.

Then again, Ivan has been VERY unpredictable thus so far.

We shall see.

Once again MT is one step ahead of everybody, how do you do it? I actually think you're full of hot air and BS. Just my humble opinion. Never trust anyone who is always right, they are usually only right "after the fact". :t

This is avaluable learning opportunity for everyone. I think that this is a good example of why everyone,holders andtimers, should have some money in fixed income at all times.

Rod, god bless, and our thoughts and prayers are with you. May Ivan beshort-lived.

Whaaaaaaaaaa! I made my changed prior to 11am yesterday and e-mailed Tom I was doing it over the weekend. Because whatever I do on here you chatise me about it.

There is a lot of good short opportunities setting up. I wish one was your time left to be on this board :^.

Pete,

There are times when 100% stocks is prudent. The market is very choppy right now and I feel is going down much further.

Hopefully your allocation works out for you!

What's wrong MM???:?

Please don't try to takethe IRAconversation too personal. Personally, I like MT and believe that we both can get past our differences.

I guess I just like to keep the peace for the benefit of the entire board.

God Bless

Right on brother! Let's take a vote, who would rather I leave or you leave? I'm pretty much tired of your BS "chicken little" and am willing to leave. Are you? If no vote is taken,, I'll just leave and make money for friends and family.

Good luck all,
