I wish I would have bought more IBM, but I'm trying to diversify and not blow too much of my cash in one stock.

Woo hoo! What a day!

As much as I wanted to hold onto SGMS longer...I wanted to lock in my solid gains on it just as much. I sold my SGMS shares today at 16.10 for an almost 23% gain. Not bad for only owning the stock for right over a month. Now watch it skyrocket again like FCEL did after selling it

Bought some MGM @ 26.76. Still holding 100% S fund! I think the bull is just getting started, right Birch? :toung:

Interesting support & resistance across the 6-month Fibonacci levels

Yeah, but I'm getting scurred! haha and you just hopped back in. Let's see how tomorrow goes...

I'm trying my luck again with FCEL...in at 2.60.

I made some money the last time I owned the stock, but I sold it too early!

I think you might have timed this one pretty good. I've been looking at PLUG. Good luck to you!

Tsp pisses me off...why can't I reset my password on their damn website. Went to do an ift and locked myself out. By the time I got through to someone on the phone it was like 10:02 and of course they can't help you get your ift in for the day. Dumb policies... Being military I don't even think it's beneficial to put my money in the government's lockbox. The lady sounded like a lot of people complain about not being able to reset their password on the website. If mypay allows it why cant tsp? Grr

I had the same thing happen last month. You're right, it is completely stupid. It keeps in line with the stupid IFT restrictions.

and after seeing what happened today I hate TSP even more...

Military doesn't get matched contributions so here is a question for you civil service folks. If you did not get matched contributions would you still utilize TSP or would you invest your money in something like a traditional IRA? I already do my Roth, but I'm so sick of TSP and the limitations. Is there something I am missing that I should keep TSP for or should I start putting my extra money in something else that I can manage to my own liking? Thanks!
