    Default July 2008 Winners

    The July 2008 results are in and here are our top five member's returns for the month:



    Congratulations! Anyone notice that some of the same names keep popping up? I'd keep an eye on these folks.

    If you are interested, please pick one of the prizes on this page,

    http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/showthread.php?t=3278, and PM me your choice and shipping information.

    If you decide to take a T-Shirt, please let me know your size.

    Nice job!

    To view all, see EW_ret's *Tallies on www.tsptalk.com/tsp-tracker.html
    * The monthly tally had some problems that ocean is working on. It affects the return of months that begin on a weekend, which June did. But EW_ret manually updated the top 50 returns so for now, it's possible only those returns are correct. We hope to have this fixed soon.

    No way would I pay for any service, because I simply don't need anyone's advice in order to approximate making my financial goals. I post my trades, including percentages usually the next day. I've learned that hitting the exact tops and bottoms is not necessary to approximate my return expectations. It is only necessary to be alert & move when the CIT is approaching. Of course, we are dealing with a non-bull market here. Range-bound or bear at the moment, lets see where the indicators take us over the next few weeks.


    "6. You may use the Automated Tracker if you are following TSP Timing Newsletter, TSP Trader System, EbbChart System, or any other paid service. If you pay for a service we will obscure/hide you recent IFTs and returns from public view. We will continue to track your TSP return performance and others can see your Return To Date (YTD)."

    I suppose I do not understand who is doing the charging for the service or why they require someone's patronage in order to tally their IFT. Makes no sense to me, TSP.

    I'm a little confused about your confussion!

    I could be wrong, but I assumed the Pay Services are charging its
    members for a service and the TSPtalk website would be charging
    the pay service for its use of a high traffic area.

    I don't believe the pay services are charging for something as simple
    as keeping a Tally of their members results. They are charging for a
    service which includes (but not limited to) a system designed to give
    a substantial edge over the Markets Results. This site gives a person
    the opportunity to test their system for free and must show proven
    results before TSPtalk allows them to make TSPtalk its home. The
    Ebb Chart brought me to this site, its results were quite impressive.
    I had the opportunity to watch its developement and go private.

    If I misunderstood your post, please let me know. If I helped to clear
    up any confussion, that was my goal.

    Thanks, but I guess I am having a time understanding the meaning of 6. What does following mean? Does this mean that only subscribers are allowed to have their IFTs tallied?

    Sorry for all the trouble.

    It is just saying that "if" you subscribe to a pay service you IFT will not be reveled to the general public. No getting the milk for free is all. You can still participate in the tracking service if you are a active member of the message board and have the required number of posts.

    No trouble. If you are a premium service member, and are following the recommended allocations of those services, we don't display your recent IFT's and returns on the tally sheet. We'll track your return, but hide the info from others - for obvious reasons.

    July IFT netted +3.152% for TSP; not too bad.

    Doesn't look like there will be an August go.
