TSP Talk Market Historical Returns

So did members get any refund, rebate or discount for your services?

Yes, if you purchase a one year instead of a monthly membership. IMHO, the cost of a yearly premium service membership on this site is peanuts compared to what others charge.

I'm sure you know how to find this information on your own.

Intrepid,
I appreciate your honest response and the link, I did not know that they had the returns for prior years in one place...I just remember seeing the YTD figures on the site's home page. Seems like you have some faithful followers.

Exactly! Even non-subscribers are trying to apply pressure for discounts, [to the already discounted rate]. LOL

Off with his head!

I actually had some time today to read more about the premium service, and although I would like to become a member as it would be valuable to me, I just don't understand some of the things mentioned in the "frequently asked questions" section; such as "EFT", etc. I wished there were more clearer explanations of how it all works. I understand that it would require me to make more time to perform certain moves as well as check emails, etc.

It's really not all that difficult. Investopedia dot com is a good place to start to learn the terminology. The ETF and mutual fund trades are all for trading outside of TSP, where we can make more money obviously. When my system says "buy", we buy. When it says "sell" we sell. I actually give my signals an hour earlier now than I use to, so it gives TSP traders an hour and half to get their trades in that day now. All my trades are given from the same system, we just have more trades outside of TSP, where we have to be selective because of the IFT rules. My service isn't for everyone, but there are others out there that might be.

That's class, Intrepid ... you didn't have to do that!

Intrepid ... do you think your system might apply to individual stocks ... or is it only applicable to funds?
