i just checked my REAL TSP account and found the following.
for the year I contributed $6,698 and gained $9,803. I lost as much in the 2nd qtr as I gained in the 3rd. my question to the MB is: with the year that we had and my allocation spread between I fund 90% and L2040 10% with contributions 50/50 why would one change and go to the G fund prior to retirement??
I'm CSRS also.seems to me that even in a somewhat bad year one could make money. I realize that i could actually be in the negative for the year, but looks like being positive for the year is greater.
