I was reading everyone's post looking for pearls of wisdom but instead I found priceless humor....I was laughing so frickin' hard I couldn't breathe! I loved that movie. Now, I'm not so bummed. Thank you.

Well I went 50% G and 50% F, but even the automated phone system seemed to be down, because after entering the SS # and following the directions to continue on to the next step, a TSP operator picked up and asked me for my SS # again and other info and took my IFT.

Now I wonder if it'll be effective COB today, because he said it'll be 2 business days, so we gotta keep an eye on what happens the next couple of market days.

Yeah Paladin, I know it's boilerplate, but when ya get a human involved in the chain, things could slow down. But I did check the tsp site and my IFT took, may even changed it a little, since the site seems back up, who knows.

Well I made an IFT to 100% G here at TSP Talk, but I got caught up in something else and forgot to make the transfer official, I got it in at 12 or 12:01, so I may still be 100% I. That's what I get for BS after I post here.

The last time I went 100% I, it sure left a big mark and even though this sure looks like the way to go, I felt since early this morning that the market would shrug it off and move up, now if the FOMC doesn't ruin it later.

FS said it all better than me, about Barclays, plus I think those boys over there, like to mess with us sometimes.

Whew gang,

I gotta take a breather and jump on the ol' lily pad. Yesterday was brutal

and today sure looks like it might be shaping up that way also. Good Luck to those hanging in there.

Dang,

I got antsy and just couldn't leave well enough alone.

50% in the I Fund for today today and it looks like I'm gonna get a bloody nose. Oh well, back to the G pad until this market shakes out.

Boy,

I gotta little out of synch. Back to G to pick a good spot to jump back in.

I sure would've loved to have been more aggressive, (60% G, 20%S 20%I), but with having to stay with the IFT thru next Tuesday, I decide to do a little CP, plus anything made after today is working to my 2009 funding target. I believe from here to the end of the year is going to be bullish.

Boy, Robert Riesch (sp), currently on CNBC, sure is a downer! His ilk is always a glass half empty mentality. Waht a way to go thru life. Why don't they just mail their comments in, they are always the same.

Took AL to have a nice 4 day weekend.

I have a feeling that Uncle Ben is going to do some sweet talking the next couple of days and I still have faith that the market will be up until Christmas, then all bets are off.
