    Default uscfanhawaii's account talk

    Just starting out...hoping to recoup my buy and hold 2008 disaster. I have worked my way back to -20%...ouch!! I had a nice run on the recent I fund climb, but bailing to F for the duration of October. I just read the thread on <1% IFTs...very interesting! Thanks!

    Most of us took a big hit in 2008, but I learned a valuable lesson and will never ride the market down again (hopefully). Good Luck on your trades!

    It is the ability to move small amounts of money within your TSP Account.
    Similar to the (L) Funds, it enables you to rebalance your account within
    percentages that are <1% either to the next whole percentage upward
    or the next whole percentage downward.
    This is a 'sticky' thread that has been closed to new comments. It is at the top of the 'Members Account Talk' thread. Anyone new, you should read it! I did not know about it. Thanks again, Squalebear!

    Happy Turkey Day to all!
    Taking the seasonal opportunity to bail to G at COB Black Friday! Will look to buy the next dip. Did you see the Seeking Alpha article that said stocks are 13% overvalued?!
    Good Luck out there!

    I graduated from U of H at Manoa. 1983. Geography, Cartography. Before GIS. I did the sweetest maps for the USDA with my background, even using digital mapping. Professor Wingert rocks.

    OK, check this out.
    I looked at how many are in the autotracker (485), and thot I'd see what the median return was and who had it (seeing how there has been some talk about buy-and-hold vs timers). So number 242 is............(drumroll)............. L INCOME!! At 4.53%. I didn't make this up!
    Comments?

    So Santa had to take a little breather today....I'm still stayin with him to the end of the month....maybe thru the first part of Jan. KEEP IT COMIN', SANTA!!
    Since I already used my 2 wishes this month, I am keeping amused with Squalebear's <1% IFT. I went from C 20.03%/S 50.21%/I 29.76% to C 21%/S 50%/I 29% for my third IFT, pushing some I to C (albeit very little :toung: ). Just stayin' in the game!

    That's interesting. How about a numbers cruncher calculating the average return for the tracker participants.

    Exclamation Re: uscfanhawaii's account talk

    Ok, Ok, Ok....when I last checked the median tracker account it was around Thanksgiving. So a lot has changed between then and now, right?! So I did it again...the tracker has grown to 545 accounts. Median is #273 now. OK, let's look.....drumroll again.....L Income AGAIN....or STILL. At 5.61%. I SWEAR, I did not juice the data, or wait for the opportune time....I blindly ran the numbers and came out with the L Income of all things! Twice now! Any Comments?!
