    You are correct EA. The Santa rally officially ends on 3 Jan. Hopefully we start 2018 with a little bounce after last week being down. Just out of curiosity, why evilanne?

    Why the question or my name? I also hope we get a bounce...the market in December-January seems to work counter to what I expect each year and the name is nickname I got from a former neighbor...probably for being very direct at times with certain people

    Ah, the vague English grammer. Thanks for pointing that out, evilanne. I understood the latter but can now see the former as the meaning as well.

    I also hope for a bounce in early January. That's why I'm still in the market. We will have to see if the theory of waiting until 2018 to sell for tax purposes will put a damper on that.

    Yes the Santa rally does start later in December and extends into early January, but I consider everything on monthly basis because of our IFT limitation. If we didn't have that I probably would have gotten out for the first trading day of 2018.

    Did not mean to offend by asking about your name. I just thought it was cute and wondered how you came by it. Many have posted about how they came by their name, myself included, but if I have offended you I am sorry. I certainly do not want to become "certain people"

    Raven out!

    No offense taken...I got along great with my neighbors and the name just stuck so I have used it online ever since

    Is anyone else having problems logging into their TSP account this morning. When I try l to use their website, https://www.tsp.gov/tsp/login.html, it never comes back from the login. When I try to use the phone menu all I get is a series of clicks after I enter my credentials.

    No problem logging in but seems to have an issue when I click on anything. Then I got kicked out.

    Called TSP...they are having some type of outage...suggested to try back in a few hours.

    I was able to log in but it took a long time. The site was really slow and finally showed only a blank screen, not good if you want to IFT.

    Thanx for the feedback, everyone. I was thinking they were down to patch their servers for "Meltdown" and "Spectre" but they hadn't posted anything saying they were down for maintenance.

    I hope no one was going to try an IFT today.

    I was going to take a bigger position if it dropped...I wonder if I'm getting suckered in for the big correction we've all been waiting for for a year... :-O
    Honestly, I think that correction has been put on hold for a year or two....We'll see if congress gets rebalanced to spoil the party.
