Stick to Your Plan

Significant movements can occur rapidly in the stock and bond markets. By the time you react to the situation, the market may be moving in the opposite direction, and you could miss out on significant gains. It's a good idea to periodically ask yourself whether your retirement portfolio properly reflects your willingness and ability to take risk. But if you are certain about the amount of risk you can tolerate, try not to let short-term market movements steer you off course. To learn more, visit Investment Strategy: Stick to Your Plan.

MOMMY - TSP keeps calling me an investor. Make m stop.

"stick to your plan" (note they forgot to add "so your plan can stick it to you").

no mention of ift trading limitations. also it is interesting that tsp is now providing specific trading recommendations during market events, like a fiduciary or something.

No, they see the loss of funds to steal the next time they need money to run our overbloated government...

Ha, ha...

The I fund will drag my account down by a horrifying 1.1%. Oh, the humanity...

But if Britain - who does not use the Euro - continues to be a viable trading partner of European countries after the 1 - 3 year process of breaking out of the EU than this will be a trading opportunity. Everybody is yammering about France wanting to get out, but they are a taker in the EU - not a giver. Britain and Germany and maybe the Netherlands were givers.

So, will equity trading end in London? Will France stop trading with Britain? Will France block up the Chunnel?

What really happened here? Britain will probably stop accepting a bunch of free loaders from the Middle East, stop funding the striking 'workforce' in Frogland, and be able to forge tighter trade and political ties with the Anglosphere. Not so bad, eh.

Ha! What an ironic or maybe fortuitous coincidence that my application to withdraw all my funds from TSP was finally processed today. It surely is my Independence Day. Best wishes for all our investment strategies going forward.

Has anyone hear an update to theJuly2015 article re: TSP Board expanding withdrawal choices?

In other words, "we're just trying to save you from yourself by limiting you to 2 IFTs a month".
What a joke.
