Thread: Long Time Lurker, First Time Poster

  1. #1

    Default Long Time Lurker, First Time Poster

    Hello all, been lurking these forums for about six months usually from my iphone app (tsp talk). If you look at the reviews for the iphone app I am the only one that reviewed the app and apparently the only one using it.

    Working for the govt for over 5 years now so I am still a young lad (31 years old). I am learning day by day about everything and anything about the markets and my future. Got about 16% of the paycheck going into my tsp. Every time I get a raise I put in one more percent. If I don't need the money now, I know I will need it in the future hence contributing more to my tsp.

    I didn't start playing with my money until recently that is because I was unsure about a lot of things. So for about 4 1/2 years the money sat in the G fund. Now that I am more confident in what I am doing and I believe I will be more active with my retirement.

    Thank You all and hoping to get my 10 post in so I can start using the autotracker

    Hello and investing,
    Congrats, to you on finding this place as early as you did. I did not stumble across this until much later. TSP invest Things go much better, with TSPTALK rather than without. However, this is still the market which is still volatile. Read up as much as you can and you should be profitable?

    Welcome imike! I don't think we still have the rule about minimum posts. Go for it...

    P.S. If you can post the link to where you saw the old 10 post rule so I can update it, I would appreciate it.

    Thanks

    Welcome, imike! If you've been reading these posts for 6 months, you already know there is a wealth of info here!

    Glad to see you joined the AT, that's a real blast....I check it every day. Not only to see my returns, but to see who is playing the market the best this day/week/month/year!

    By the way, I was also confused about the 10 post requirement when I first got on. We will definitely have to go change that if we can find where it is!

    Good Luck in your trades!

    Thanks uscfanhawaii. Yeah been trying to find that post that I saw about the 10 post limit but no luck. Maybe because I was an unregistered user? Let's kick some ass and make some money

    Thanks nasa1974. In due time I will start my very own thread just that I use 95% of the time the tsptalk iPhone app since I am almost never to a computer screen. Once I learn a bit more about the functionality of the app I shall.

    Hey hey Realmoneyissue. The 10 post thing is no more an issue. That's real. Let's get some money. Too many puns lol.
