Whipsaw's Account Talk

[quabit]

I may be missing something too as I no longer have the option to email a code to myself to log in. I get the code on my phone usually within 10 seconds but nowhere on the site do I find the option to have it email me a code anymore. Anyone else experience this and is there a fix?

Now that you mention it I don't see it either in my account setting. I've been teleworking since COVID so I hadn't the need for the email anymore and must have missed the option going away.

found this on their facebook. https://www.facebook.com/tsp4gov/

This is under "Changes to your Account Login" at the top dated 27 OCT. There is more information but I found this.

"Please keep a personal email address in Profile Settings. For security reasons, we no longer send authentication codes by email, but we do email you certain transaction confirmations and educational outreach related to your account."

Wow Quabit! Thank you for this information.:smile: I had no idea that was, or has, gone away...ugghhh...rarely used email, but it was nice having the option.

You heard it here first! Whipsaw makes a buck! :lmao::dance::friday:arty::fest30:

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Congrats. Roll the dice and try for $2.

Roger that! Futures are UP!

 

[Whipsaw]

4.45% so far this month, another 20% and my nose pokes out of the water. I must have been out of my mind last month to sit on the lily pad. Kind of expecting a reset in January; the S-Fund poked through the upper BB, not sure if that is enough to send it back to the 18 MA. Hopium in play for the Santa Rally!

I trust everyone had a Merry Christmas, was on leave and didn't get online much. Still making some progress, though still at the bottom of the AT. Odd how the C-Fund jumped today and S-Fund is flat to down. Hearing the warnings of a correction possibly in January, there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth in Washington DC in the next couple of weeks I'm thinking. Will likely exit in the next day or two and see what the New Year brings.

 

[Whipsaw]

A little disappointed in the selling pressure on the S-fund, was looking OK for Dec. Futures are up this morning, but not much. Planning to hold through New Years Eve; though Tom's mention of the Santa Rally running through 2 Jan may keep me in. Looking for avoiding the potential correction that is looming out there somewhere.

That's the $64,000 question. If only we had the insight that some of our Congressional folks have.

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Welp...it is up right now, but just not sure of where it goes next week...it usually does go up for first few days in January...

Price is up some...but MACD and Stochastic pointing down; dropped below their signal lines.

 

[ravensfan]

The only reason it's up this morning is because I posted yesterday that if it was down I was exiting to the G fund. This is how the market gets us suckers to stay invested by giving us a little hope, only to slam us back once again...:notrust:

 

[grimmjsg123]

S lost its embedded reading, the 3 day average that was support is now resistance. The ADX +DI is directionally down even with the ETF green today; if you are in S a good time to call it a day and revisit in 2 weeks.

 

[Whipsaw]

I was able to get into TSP.gov and move to G on 30 Dec, which posted on 31 Dec. Soooooooo..... My account was set up to send the validation code to my desk phone. I was not in the office. I called and the helpdesk guy was able to change the phone number to my cell phone, which I then had to validate; I finally got in and made the IFT, luckily I did this around 1100. I told the guy, the account holder should have the option to pick which phone the code goes to as many don't have access to cell phones during the day. Nothing is ever easy.

 

[Whipsaw]

As for last year's performance, I don't want to talk about it. :suspicious: At least I'm in the G-fund for today's weakness.

 

[ravensfan]

I did the same, moving to G on Dec 31st. Just didn't trust all the negativity with the only positive being seasonality.

Good luck this year and good riddance 2020...

 

[rangerray]

I reduced to 25% S and may regret not getting out completely, but for the same reason the market may be down even further tomorrow, it could just as easily go up. Nobody can predict that primary election tomorrow any better than they can predict the weather.

I got whacked by Covid-19 and never did recover. I am not going to be able to get to enjoy this for long. I go from #565 to #17. Tomorrow I’m headed back down again.

The market is supposed to dislike uncertainty, is today's pop a result of the GA runoffs? Then the Electoral event in the Senate... what time is that? This strength doesn't make sense to me. The 'forward looking' market is seeing what, exaclty? Crystal ball... where are you when I need you. Wait, I never had one. :nuts:
