    Another fellow I think of is Puerto Rico. I think I insulted him just right after I joined 'talk, and tried to be extra good when I finally realized it...
    I hope he has survived all the hurricanes we've had thru there -
    In fact, there are a lot of different ones I wonder about - we kinda come & go, I guess - but it seems that there is the original core still here!
    You are to be commended for your steadfastness to your dream; in spite of the problems in the beginning- checking the site & stocks from your car on break!!

    Rolo has been on my mind recently. Last I recall, he had made it back from
    out-of-the-depths, had finished the house, and seemed to be doing okay. Then I think I saw him over at Sara-ho's, '05 or so. At some point he had accepted my registration at that car site, but then I was never able to gain access - so I let it drift out of my mind. Anyway, do you hear from him? I hope he is okay.

Last week was a volatile week for the stock market and a strong finish on Friday solidified some decent gains for both the major indices, and the TSP stock funds.

The C-fund closed up 2.33% for the week. The S-fund gained 1.64% and, with the help of weakness in the dollar, the I-fund led the way with a gain of 2.38%.



The slow and steady G-fund added its typical fractional gain (+0.06%), and the...

Similar to September and October, the first week of November got off to a very strong start with all of the the major U.S. stock market indices picking up some impressive gains.

Over the last few months, being in the TSP stock funds during the first week or two of the month has clearly paid off.

For November it has translated into gains of 2.5% to...

In late 2007, the TSP announced that they would be implementing restrictions to the number of interfund transfers you can make in your Thrift Savings Plan account. We went from unlimited transfers, to two per month. I feel very strongly that one more transfer per month might actually work. Two is not always enough.

Right now with the two interfund transfer limit (plus the unlimited G-Fund transfers), there is no room for error. With three transfers you can actually make a mistake and...

From the 5/13/09 market commentary.

While in defense mode, I have been playing in the F-fund for a couple of weeks as kind of a contrarian play. Many believe that interest rates are going to have move higher if the economy is showing signs of improving, and in fact the yield on the 10-year T-note has risen dramatically since late 2008. (When yields rise, bond prices fall, and vice versa).
