TSPLookup - Introduction, Comments & Questions Thread

[jayhawker]

Noticed that I Fund Countries: France, Netherlands, Sweden, Findland, Belgium, Greece and Austira are not updating.


Peace!

Yep, I'm aware of this. I think it's just a Yahoo! issue, but I'll look at it.

I also need to update the percentages of the foreign distribution because they were changed quite awhile ago and I hadn't noticed. And they'll probably change again soon too as the TSP tends to adjust them this time of the year.

Thanks,

Ed.

Hi all,

I updated TSPLookup today. I fixed all the countries that weren't updating except for France. I could find no evidence that the symbol ^FCHI has changed to something else. It's just a Yahoo! thing that they'll fix eventually.

I also re-ordered the foreign countries and currencies and updated the foreign allocation percentages (for 2009.)

Enjoy!

Hey JayHawker,

Nice B-ball run going, you guys are the #1 pick for March.

Hey, Just noticed that I am scheduled for a 35 cent gain in the F Fund today?

I mean I hope that's what I'm getting, but I seriously doubt it.....

Anyone else seeing this?

Frixxx, I didn't use TSPLookup yesterday so I can't say what the problem may have been. You may recall - for the F Fund only - that the TSP Fund price (on the upper-left table) is the AGG quote, but the F Fund Share price (on the upper-right table) is a calculated value of 30 year and 10 year T-bills. So, it's likely one or the other quote was wrong or off somehow. You got 5 cents which is pretty good for the F!

Yes, my Jayhawks are cruising right along. Rock Chalk!

Kinda figured, calculation went skewed big time yesterday, it looked like 5 cents but the spreadsheet was showing 57 cents at the end of the day!!!

Thanks for lookin into it!

Hi all!

I updated TSPLookup today. I fixed a problem with getting the time of the EFD quote. I also re-ordered the foreign quotes and currencies according to the new 2010 percentage allocations.

Thanks for playing!

All,

I'm no longer supporting or publishing updates to TSPLookup.

Thanks to all who used it and supported it the past three years! You're the best!

Thank you for building and maintaining it. I found it entertaining/alarming to watch. Any chance of letting us unprotect it and mess with it to see how it ticks and if we can get it to work again?

Thanks again

Thanks.

I prefer to let it die... tho I'd consider selling the rights to it for a reasonable price.

does this mean itg no longer works?

 

[jayhawker]

No, this doesn't mean it no longer works. However, it no longer works. Not a coincidence... more of a last straw.
