i hate to be the one to have break this to you, but...

you will be told you are an idiot and given lots of suggestions no matter what you do or how well the tsp investment performs.

that is what princesses do, no matter how well you do whatever, it could always be more, they are never satisfied, it is the nature of the beast.

now, you can quit your job and leave your wife and start over flat broke, but the last time i did that i ended up working for the government for 13 years and have no intentions of stopping, so you might want to be careful about that.

i would just make sure i hold out for some regular pussy if i was you and call it a good deal.

p.s. the real question you might want to worry about is whether or not the statement thingy ever comes back from so circled in green. that is a good future indicator. and the earlier you figure out which direction it is pointing, the more money you will save.

Never comes back circled in green. Positive statements are just filed.

Well geeze. Things are back up a little. Investment question is if it looks like I might get to 0% for the year should I try to figure out what day to go to G and be happy? Of course that means predicting what the S&P will do for four hours after the decision. I hate that 1200 restriction most of all the restrictions.

This year doesn’t matter, I will be happy with no loss but the retirement in 2.2 years does. If I can get back to 0% should I put it all in G and be happy with about 2% plus my contributions? Should I just put it all in G no matter what my loss is or what happens? If I do that will C/S or I go up 30% in the next two years? So many questions, so many unknowns.

I read everything on this board and never have a clue.

Just venting. I am considering going to 100% G fund which might reach one of my goals before retirement money amount wise. Be safe, be stupid, be smart. Which will I choose?

Ben a bad 2nd quarter for a ignorer aka buy and holder.

Anyone got a clue when S&P 500 will get up to 2035 or so?

If so let me know and I will go 100% G on that day and leave it all there for the next 2.3 years and then make a decision about what to do with it. Somewhere around 2% is better than a negative gain.

In the mean time, having ignored all the advice on the MB I am negative for this year so far. Not for the lifetime fortunately. So far.

Since the market is not going up this quarter and therefore this year I am under the usual pressure to "make some money" and being told I am an idiot for not having the money in dividend paying equities. Mentioning the 5% matching gets replies like how much more I could get if I went with <insert brokername> as a one time incentive if I abandon TSP. I suppose I am just stupid.

Whatever, I am glad I am the sole proprietor of the TSP while I am alive and will take all the Fliegerabwehrkanone I get. For instance, I am asked "why didn't you move it all to G on August 20th". My answer is "I must be stupid".

That is why it must all go to G fund. I am too stupid to see what anyone looking at a chart one month later can plainly see.

Life goes on and thank you for everything posted here about investing.

Scheiße. That has been one of my favorite expressions since my time in FRG. Politically correct here and everyone I knew there used it frequently.

Well, I am positive again (barely) for the year.

So, to reply to some of you, signal and readability good? Regular what? Oh, I sort of remember.

In some of these rants I stated if I ever got back to <0% I would move to G fund and leave it until I retire. Now I am greedy and thinking maybe S&P will get back to 2135 or so. Maybe not.

So I am aware of what I said here but as usual am frozen by anxiety.

Should I wait or should I go G?
