Weekly Account Tally Talk

[Rod]

I know of one person who has had a good year so far, well, part of the year anyway, but last year he sucked all year.

I believe that would be me!

I wouldn't say I sucked all year.

I was @ 4.48% in May before I lost my pants.:embarrest:

My lowest point was -6.52% (Jun 13)

I ended the year @ -3.27. (recovered 3.25% since Jun 13)

With YTD gains, I've made up 6.56% since Jun 13.

Still in recovery...

I just want to say this is a great site! I read most threads and I thank each of you for your input and for giving me the wisdom in deciding how to make my IFTS!

I think he was referring to Tech.

As for your recovery, you are beating the I fund this year!

I'm glad I am.

But I'm going to miss out on this upcoming week... whatever it may hold!

It just may get ahead of me...

Once again, I came close but no cigar. I really want that laser pen.

Nerve racking eh Z, good effort there, and congrats to Nnuut for doing so well himself, thumbs up to you Norman....u too Thunder....

Well its a humble pleasure from this keyboard to be leading the group once again. I wish you all will surpass me....that means I will do even better myself.......because I ain't holding back....guess Birchy was wrong to classify me as a major G fund member.....even though I have spent alot of time on the lilly pad. But that's what you do while learning.

The monkeys have been having a good time rollling with the Crystal Balls.....and they are fed very well.

So good luck to you all this week and further on.....lets keep on truckin'!

It is a mighty fine pen indeed. Battery life was a little shorter than I'd hoped, but still a very nice pen.

You know I learned a very hard lesson sence I've been posting at TSPTalk. Don't get too cocky when you're doing well because the Gods of luck will turn you over to their Uncle Big Bad Luck. You won't hear any bolstering from me! Keep up the good work, I think I'll start following you?

What do all the colors mean on Rokid's tracker?

 

[tsptalk]

The colors represent the type of investment style each person has.​

TSPers Investment Style
single-fund swing trade
single-fund concentrated
multi-fund swing trade
multi-fund diversified

See the botttom of the tally.​

 

[VirginiaBob]

what about the red?

 

[rokid]

The red indicates the YTD return doesn't include the entire year. In other words, the TSPer started some time after the first market day of the year.

Note, this week's tally includes a second category of YTD returns that start after Jan.

 

[GGal]

Is there a general TSP address or something where I can send a donation for your work rokid?

Thanks
GA

 

[rokid]

GeorgiaGirl,

Thanks, but no thanks. I enjoy seeing how everyone does - returns and investment style.

Keep up the good work. You're starting 2007 the way you finished 2006 - at the top.----Rokid

GeorgiaGal, a tip jar for members! mmm...

 

[GGal]

I see from this week's Tally, Nutt and Rod are definitely most improved from last year!

Is this because their particular style is better suited to the current market conditions?

Or have they changed gears?

Answers, please.

Rod was in G-fund for a big chunk of last year while deployed. He got stuck with the drop in May.

GaGal, when I read your post it really made me think about what I'm doing differently this year. Last year I was lucky enough to miss the May dive into the dirt. I think that made me overly cautious which drove me in and out of the markets when they were really in an uptrend, should have been in when I was out. Ended up between 11% and 12% should have done much better, like you. I follow the chart channels a lot more this year, up, down, up, down, if all of the other conditions are upbeat and funds are at the bottom (where ever that is) of their channel I'm in. I pay a lot of attention to energy, Economic Calendars (that's a big one) the dollar effect on the "I" fund etc. In other words I've been lucky but it seems to be working better for some reason. Just luck GaGal, no real system, just watching what's going on every day. I'm sure I won't be in the top 10 much longer, there are some really sharp traders on this web site and they will be leaving me in the dust before long.:suspicious:
