They were having lots of security system updates that were slowing the system down, and then everyone avalanched them at the last minute which slowed things down even further. Leave it to TSP!

Paladin... Isn't it amazing how most all of the IFT's come in within 30 minutes before noon??? Who woulda thunk it?

I got a live person finally, too. But they were apparently just sitting on the other side of the phone trying to access the same computer we couldn't get at our end. Worthless.
And they knew.
And they did nothing.
Have a frugal retirement.

Hmm, what a great time, then, for a security update.

Yea, planning is everything!
Do any of the forum leaders have contacts with the TSP board??? I would hope that the TSP Board is made aware of this foul up.

In case anyone wants to invest in the company responsible for the software maintenance and general operations for TSP, I think it is SI International Inc. (symbol = SINT).

SINT must be good because Barclays Global Investors UK Holdings Ltd owns about 3.63% ($15M)

Log in to your account. Act like you are going to make a IFT. The screen will tell you that you are passed the deadline for changing your IFT and ask if you want to make a new one for the next day. If you do not get this msg your IFT did not go through.

You have an interfund transfer being processed for 05/18/2007 which cannot be changed because the deadline for changing or cancelling it has passed. This transfer is not yet reflected in your account balance. Your account balance will be invested as follows:
