    I put my retirement paperwork in yesterday. Officially had it up to "here" and am looking forward to some "long weekends" between now and April 30th.

    Happy trading folks, let's hope we get a rally in celebration of the Marine Corps Birthday today.

    Happy New Year to everyone. Today is a great day for me personally as I leave 2015 behind and the poor performance that my account realized. Here's to me paying more attention to my account, understanding when it's time to move back to safety and lock in gains to mitigate risk and loss. Greed kills, time to be more moderate in my personal goal of 5.5% per year.

    April 30, 2016 here I come.

    Pride and greed.

    That is what causes people to lose money in the market. Get in, get out ..... remember that. And if you are too proud to admit that you were wrong to reach for the falling knife, put it down before it slices too much off.

    Update on pension timeline for those close to retirement:

    After retirement, last paycheck was of course on time. Approximately 2 weeks later, final annual leave check payment deposit made.

    And today, first partial pension deposit was made. From start to finish, one month has elapsed.

    Both my retirement counselor and OPM did a nice job for me.

    I strongly recommend that those planning got retirement try to choose one of OPM's suggested "best dates to retire on".

    Mine was 4/30/16 , and it really seems to help get your pension moving.

    I retired same time as you did. However, I haven't received my pension check nor my terminal leave check. I still don't have a CSA#.
