I am hanging in also....but concerned about the overall picture. I am looking for a good exit point cause it 'feels' like there will be a big drop late July or Aug.
But don't listen to me either, I was up +1.5% early in the year but am now 7 from the bottom at -8%.

You had a nice ride up today, better than most of us. Thursday I had a loss of 0.75%. With a gain of 1.53% today I have a gain of 0.76% for the year.
Whatever, I plan on reducting my %s in C and S funds Monday.

Good luck to all of us the rest of year.

Uscfanhawaii, those nice rides up will raise your return faster than you might think. I was down to about 4%, now, I climbing. Missed my Thursday move to the S fund - a phone call that couldn't wait at 11:56am. The Wizard (of Oz) I see picked up the 1.4% for 25% total for the year for a nice quick play. A QE3 play may still get clearer in the couple of weeks (I belief 4 voting feds are in favor) and I'll still have dry powder.

I'm still working on the IFT restriction relief - it make take getting a bill thru U.S. Congress (Stephen F. Lynch (D) Massachusetts) to get the current "window to a mutual fund" changed to something, instead, like a window to a mutual fund or other TSP Board accepted retirement fund, account, or vehicle. Luckily, Lynch, Long and Dialing already want the window thru option!

Yes, its been a while since my last post . . . and yes, its been lonely here at the pier. Though you whack-a-bears might want to read the following article from Briefing.com founders/contributor.

Bearish Data, Bullish Hopes

Thanx for the article, NSurf9, I found it compeling.

Ditto ... a good reminder!

How much longer - hopefully 'til after the election.

Old Ben says the party's still on - he says he's still got more QE beer in the keg and another order is on the way. Only problem is, the beer has been watered down at stategic intervals and Ben doesn't have real money to pay for the beer transportation order when it arrives.

Us Freshmen really don't know the difference between watered down beer and light beer anyway- all we know is we're getting that same big glass for the same price and the night still seems young.

But Mr. Inflation knows and he's well aware that, that dollar bill you've paid Ben is only worth 50 percent as it was in 1980.

Ben can fool the freshmen, but he can't fool Mr. Inflation 'cause he knows the taste of watered down money and that Ben can't pay the beer transport deliverman much longer - especially if beerman asks for his payment in gold.

Marty, thanks for re-labeling my TSP aka, I thought nsurf9 was under a "hidden" label, but wasn't sure. Thanks for the fix.

PS: I really don't like those "hidden" labels. I did't realize I hadn't move in 90 days - or my name might be re-labeled "hidden" after 90 days of AutoTracker inactivity. I thought the activity measure included posts to the forum. I do recall that the "hidden"s did include members subscribing to the "premium" services.

Frankly, I pay a lot more attention to the Sentiment Survey than what the "Premiums" might advise - please don't let them hide it. The "premiums records aren't all that stellar, and I don't believe most people take their final cue in making their IFTs. TSP Fantasy doesn't use them. If some people want to pay and have the benefit of them - that's ok, but the decisions of the members of TSP Talk AutoTracker participants ought not be "hidden." That's why I'll never subscribe . . . and precisely why I do post my IFTs under nsurf9 - we all get the benefit of each other - inspite of being limited to only 2 equity IFTs per month.

Frothy little bubbles appear to be beginning to "plink" - I'm looking for a bottom in the INDEXSP:.INX 1335-1367 area - unless the masses catch wind that "objects in rear-view mirror [really aren't] larger than appear" and US dollar demoniated corporate assests and income are being inflated by monitary policy and erroded by true inflation.



Duly Noted: Ok, "Hidden" on the AutoTracker, does not include TSPTalk members with "Premium" subscriptions.

Good read from Briefing.com Page One on "where are we now." No Answers . . . but a good read.

Election Is Over, but the Politics Continue

I'm still looking for a technical INX 1335-1367 bottom - I may jump in sooner, almost did this 11/7/12 afternoon.
