Well after yesterdays "S" fund close it doesn't look like I will have a positive August.
May the force be with us.
We still have two weeks to go.
50% S, 50% C 06 Mar, was 100% G; 80% S 20% C COB 08 Jan '24; 100% G COB 14 Nov; was 100% C COB 31 Oct (Boo!); was 100% G COB 12 Oct; was 50% C, 50% S COB 22 Jun; Life is good!
In looking at the weekly performance of the S fund, it would need a return of 0.75% today just to break even for the week. If it doesn't make it, that's 4 down weeks in a row. Eventually, this trend will reverse and the S fund starts putting in positive returns. With that said, I will stand pat with my current allocation of 40% C Fund, 50% S Fund and 10% I Fund.
Good luck everyone!!!

Well the S Fund decided to continue it's downward spiral today and finished the week -0.86%. That's 4 weeks in a row now. My database only covers 2016 and 2017 and in looking at it, this is a first. Perhaps there is someone smarter than me who can tell me what the record for number of weeks in a row the S Fund has been down...
Let's hope next week the trend gets broken. For now, sticky pants deployed...

Strong finish to the "S" fund for the month. However, I still finished negative for the month. On August 18th I was down 3.51% for the month but finished at -.41%. I guess it could have been worse. Let's start September on a positive note and finish out the week strong.

Here is what the September monthly returns have looked like. Not much better than August.

I'm with you Nasa. I took a small step backward as well. Hopefully, look to regain as we move into the last 4 months of 2017.

Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.
Well September has been interesting. I wonder if the "S" fund will still move up for the last two days of the month. The question now is do I stay put and hope that October will be a good month or take my profit for now and jump to the "G" fund and protect what I have?
Dang, I wish I had at least one more IFT for the month.

Last year the TSP funds didn't do good at all and 2012 was a bad year as well. Except for those two years the TSP funds have done very well since 2010.
