    Let's hope the political fallout in Germany doesn't rattle the American markets.

    Fridays close was a little surprising, but I'll take it.

    Sticky pants still on. We may be in for a wild ride with some of the geopolitical stuff going on.

    Interesting finish yesterday. Can I get lucky and see a 4.5% gain through December? If I do I will hit my goal for the year. Definitely not unhappy with 14% but it would be nice to hit my benchmark. This weekend could give us a great boost going into December. Still expecting a bumpy ride so the sticky pants will stay on. Not gripping the safety bar quite as hard though.

    In the AutoTracker top 20 the majority have stayed in the "I" fund all year and have had a fantastic return. Looking at those folks in the "I" fund now, that were in the "I" fund last year, have really done well sticking to their plan. They jumped from a 2% profit last year to over a 20% profit this year. Great job.
    In comparison to the folks in the "S" fund for the year that were "S" fund for 2016 that are down about 1.3% from last year. Still a 15% return so far is nothing to complain about.
    The "C" fund folks have done well this year compared to last year also. Showing a 17% return so far compared to a 12% last year.
    Also interesting is out of the top 500 very few IFT's made, lots of zero's.

    Good luck everybody.

    Nasa, regarding your 'benchmark,' does that reflect an average return of 18.5%/year?
    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!

    Whipsaw,

    It was more like "gee I wish I could get to this $$ by the end of the year". Didn't really reflect on what the expected percentage to be, but I have been fortunate that the last few years have been double digit returns. Now that I'm close to the "gee" number it's kind of like, will I be able to get there? Of course there are a few "what if's". However, if I finish the year close to where I am now I will be happy.

    So the way I read it, once Net Neutrality is repealed it opens the door to charging more for content delivery and the small players like Tom's TSPTalk get priced out of the market.

    That's a possibility. More than likely forums like this will be available but at a much slower speed and a higher cost to the user.
