    I did find this article a bit disturbing.

    "The agency running the Thrift Savings Plan has not implemented the proper controls to prevent hackers from accessing its systems and potentially compromising the personal data of federal employee and retiree participants, federal auditors said on Monday..."

    This happened in 2012, you'd figure the Board would've taken care of of it 3 years later.

    TSP discloses hacking of accounts
    More than 120,000 federal employees and other account holders in the Thrift Savings Plan had personal information including Social Security numbers accessed last year in a “sophisticated cyber attack,” the TSPannounced Friday morning.
    The TSP is sending letters to affected individuals including information on how to contact a call center that has been established to offer services such as credit monitoring. Also, the TSP is monitoring the affected accounts for suspicious activity.
    The attack was made last July against a contractor, Serco Inc., which along with the TSP was notified last month by the FBI. The company and the agency shut down the compromised computer, started a review of computer security procedures and beefed up protections, the TSP said in its announcement.
    “We sincerely regret that this event occurred and we will provide assistance and support to affected individuals through a call center and credit monitoring,” TSP executive director Greg Long said in a statement. “We are working with Serco and other security experts to ensure that TSP data is protected and secure.”

    Lawmaker: Let Feds Invest TSP Savings in Companies With Female Leadership

    By Eric Katz May 19, 2015 14 Comments

    Lawmaker: Let Feds Invest TSP Savings in Companies With Female Leadership - Pay & Benefits - GovExec.com


    "Federal employees and retirees should have the opportunity to invest in women business leaders, according to a Democratic lawmaker.

    That is why Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., introduced the Gender Diversity Investment Act, which would create a new Thrift Savings Plan fund invested in companies “that demonstrate a strong commitment to gender diversity and women’s economic empowerment.” Beyer said the bill would not cost anything -- though the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board would have to create or contract out a new investment index -- and would encourage businesses to put more women in leadership..."

    The gender of a CEO is not part of my Technical Analysis and is sexiest, surprising that Progressives treat people differently based on their gender, people are people no? Actually this is really a SICK idea!

    Oh, they'll "Politically Correct" us to death, one way or another. TSP Participants will be forced to bail out Green Energy companies next.
    To get to the light at the end of the tunnel, you have to be willing to face the train.

    My only concern with a CEO is they making wise decisions for the good and profitability of the company. I really don’t care what their sex, race, or religion is.
