Valkyrie's Account Talk

[rangerray]

No, it’s not you. This security stuff is getting carried away. I sometimes have to type 56 digits in order to access my government computer, which is attached to a secure network with a common access card inserted. It’s overkill.

looks like we got an answer on that move today.

It's not just you. I am basically locked out of web access. I have to use the TSP phone menu now to access my account. The worst part with that is you have to listen to a long (over a minute) message every time informing you that they locked you out of web access. You can't skip the message.

They used to allow us two email addresses for TFA. Now they only allow one phone number. That means I can't access my account from work. It's tied to my home phone. Not only that, they improved security so much that I can't login to the TSP site unless I use a VPN. It doesn't like my ISP (AT&T) I think because of constantly changing IPv4 addresses with CGNAT.

Even with all that I can no longer complete an IFT on the TSP site. I get to the last step and it doesn't accept the final button push to submit the IFT.

why the move now Valkyrie? Made two IFT's this month already so i can only move back to the G for now and its looking to me like the market will climb a bit more before May. did we miss something?

China's moves with the yuan are merely its latest after the Trump administration in August 2019 designated the country a currency manipulator as experts see a a threat to the American dollar, long the currency of choice for global business. "If the internationalization of the yuan steadily moves forward, the competitive landscape of the dollar and the yuan would drastically change,” Nomura Research Institute executive economist Takahide Kiuchi told Kyodo News last month.

Chinese monetary experts maintain that their ambitions are modest. “If you are willing to use it, the yuan can be used for trade and investment,” former People’s Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan said in December. “We don’t have an ambition to replace existing currencies.”
And yet, the developing countries that have joined China’s vaunted Belt and Road Initiative, an overseas infrastructure investment project that U.S. officials regard as a “predatory” lending scheme, appear already to be targets of China’s determination to turn a digital yuan into a tool of international finance.
“If it's a long-standing loan ... they’ll expect that that foreign actor will repay them in China's digital currency,” said the Atlantic Council's Julia Friedlander, a senior member of the Treasury Department’s sanctions office who did a stint at the White House National Security Council from 2017 to 2019 under Trump. “It's trying to create areas of dependency in the way that, say, Belt and Road has created sort of debt-trap diplomacy. It’s monetary diplomacy, in a different way.”

same here. thinking something is afoot in the market. i'm going on vacation and don't want to be "in" while I'm away.

Ira last night was basically saying get out, and wait for another day to get back in.

As I look at past returns of the different strategies and timing advice, I'm beginning to think that buy and hold is simply the best strategy. Feeling Birchtree vibes

for many, yes and can be so much less stressful. however, a proper entry point - even with buy and hold - can mean quite a lot.

 

[mmk119]

i should qualify my last. if starting from zero the entry point will not matter in buy and hold over time. if you have a sizeable nest egg already - then it can very much.

IMHO buy and hold only works during a Bull Market, however still have to watch for the big correction downturns.

looks like one day pop like oscar said last night, sell the huge rally.

Martin hastened to add that the market’s internal health is not as bad today as it was in 2018. This time around, he is forecasting a decline of 10% or more for the leading U.S. stock indexes. As for timing, he says that the decline could begin at any time, but he anticipates that it will begin no later than mid-August.
