    Ruht-ro! Now that three pay periods have passed my C fund holding is over .5% so whenever C goes down 1.25% or so it negates my spectacular 2.25% per annum G fund earnings. Are these shares precious wallflowers bought at bargain prices or evil parasites sucking the life out of my TSP?

    Someone let me know when the bottom is in so I can put all my retirement savings in S fund and double it by May 1st 2018.

    TIA

    Only had to go back three pages to find this. Not too much action here in account talk. First an update on personal stuff I have been posting about.

    SO went in to surgery again to relieve leg problems created by clot during back surgery. Released from hospital 3/14. Transported to ER 3/14 due to congestive heart failure. Now back home and doing better. Lots of small dramas since.

    I have managed to follow the market sometimes but as usual taken no action. I moved all to G fund 12/24 and have made no move since. I left the payroll allocation at 100% C fund so have just under 1.5% in the C right now.

    Should I adjust the autotracker to show this? It makes no difference as to prizes or anything like that, just means I am actually +.56 instead of +.49%. I asked this a couple years ago and comments were when you do an IFT it will balance. Comments?

    Happy investing.

    Still showing 100%G in the auto tracker. Reality is 98%G 2%C. Changing it at this point would make no real difference. 2% is due to leaving payroll allocation all C fund. Maybe I will change it at the end of this month just to keep autotracker close. Actual return discounting contributions is about .67%. Actually below the G funders.

    I tried to do a pseudo IFT in the autotracker just now. Some glitch is apparent and a message to e-mail Tom. Never mind, just an adjustment to reflect reality. It will all get fixed when I make an actual IFT if I do.

    Actual YTD earnings are around .89% due to 2.4% C fund.

    SO may need more surgery for related medical problems. Contractors replacing flooring in bedroom ran a day over schedule. New flooring is to facilitate wheelchair/walker mobility. A/C died Saturday morning and the "never fails" part had to be flown in from somewhere. A/C fixed today. Great long weekend.

    little stock dogs got screwed by big stock dogs. about two hours after little bond dogs got screwed by big bond dogs. so that would make it mountin time. it happens all the time. we call it "the market".

    After rereading everything I could find on TSPTalk and looking at some of the internet stuff and getting sick of Microsoft badgering me and talking to a couple people I know that did it, I am going to upgrade my lap top to win10 tonight.
    Any advice while the restore for win8 is copying to the thumb drive?

    This is kind of hard to believe and must be karma or something. While I was in the house writing the previous, the irrigation system came on. A drip hose popped off it's regulator and aimed itself directly at the laptop sitting on the patio table. Laptop is soaked and dead.

    No, this hose was not soaking the patio yesterday. Trust me I would have noticed the soaking wet chair cushion. It happened tonight while I was typing the post here. Drip line is about 15 feel from the patio but it aimed perfectly.

    So, no win10 upgrade tonight.

    quick go get a 25lb bag of rice out of your pantry and bury the laptop in it. then wait until morning.

    it's ok, it happens to all of us.

    also you should repent. you obviously have some things to repent for.

    Hi PO. Here's a link on how to make an ISO file for reinstalling Windows 8.1. I haven't tried this but I've saved it in case I decide to upgrade to 10. All the best.

    Where to Download Windows 10, 8.1, and 7 ISOs Legally
