Thread: Intrepid_Timer's PUBLIC Account Talk

Thanks Weatherweenie,

However, I get the following message, error message I spose, when I travel to the link you provided. Do I need to send a PM to Intrepid Timer or Crowley?

Thanks!

Appreciate the assist. I remember reading these when I joined up but, must have forgot to do it.

I plan to cancel this monthly subscripton on the 4th of January and start the yearly subscription. The trial proved invaluable and as I am living on my 401(k), I need to have somebody in my corner I can count on for a chance at success.

Take care,

EWB!

I have provided TspTalk the requisite information and expect to access your link soon.

Thx,

Ouch, I/T that's gonna hurt................I can hear the cryin all the way up here in the North Country. You are absolutely right though, buying and holding generally stinks. I did that for far too many years myself so just like Slick Willy, " I feel their pain". Now is a great time to gloat a bit and do the happy dance. You know the happy dance don't you?????????

I'm sure my happy dance is different than yours. I just hope the buy and holders realize that this is the flattest annual return the S fund has had since it's inception. The second flattest year was 2007 and we all know what happened the following year................

I have a question, if the SP500 ended flat to slightly down for the year, why did the C fund, which tracks the SP500 end up about 2% on the year? Does TSP factor in dividends?

I believe they only use the S&P 500 as a benchmark and it's up to Blackrock as to which stocks they actually invest in. I don't think they invest in every company that makes up the S&P 500. They might have also had a lower percentage of financial companies as these where the big laggards this year.
