USMC6056,
What you have to your advantage is time. You don't lose anything until you do an IFT - your portfolio value has only depreciated which looks like a loss and may feel like a loss. Continue with the DCA and take advantage and opportunity of lower prices which allow you to purchase more shares of each fund. I wouldn't change anything for the moment - this correction is only temporary and will help you understand your own emotions - and make no mistake emotion plays a large part in investment decisions. Step back and enjoy the pain - it won't hurt that much. Accumulate the shares while the slide is in progress - I know that sounds terrible. But I'm a contrarian.

I'm 40yoa and I've been with the Fed G for a little over 4 years now and have about 16 years left in the "G" as I am in a Federal Law Enforcement retirement system( FERS 6C).
Due to the volatility of the market over the last several weeks I have lost a considerable amount of money in the TSP.
1) Would you advise on reallocation now or wait for the market to re-adjust which I expect it to do?
