Thread: FERs Mainly

Speaking of transactions, how can I stop my twice monthly IFT statements from getting snail mailed to me? Been through the web site and could not find the box to check off.

It is rather a silly name for a financial transaction.

Would that be their sticky pants?

Just enter an email address in the space provided when you make an IFT.

Once the transfer is processed, you will be mailed a confirmation. If you would prefer to receive the confirmation via e-mail, please enter your e-mail address below. (Note: E-mail confirmations are formatted as HTML documents, so make sure that your e-mail application (Outlook, Eudora, GroupWise, etc.) is configured to display HTML.) Your e-mail address will not be retained for future transactions.

Thanks Kevin

I was using my old office e-mail address in the TSP web site. Guess the boys and girls at the old office discontinued my e-mail address 3 months after I retired. TSP must have reverted to a snail mail system once the old e-mail was unresponsive. So I e-mailed the TSP folks my new e-mail address. Looks like it'll woik. Trying to go green ya know. No paper=that much less for the old man to sign. Cheech and Chong.

I think people need to consider moving some money to the G fund. You don't have to move all of it, just 20% or a little more, possibly daily. That's my advice.

I'm playing it a little. Staying in 10%. Today's market is showing signs of life. It's still going to be a see saw summer. I might go into stocks 30% in June.

We talked technicals, and in the middle of the discussion he noted that Monday's have seen an amazing outperformance this year. He's right; here are the cumulative point gains for the Dow Industrials for each trading day of the year so far:
- Monday up 1,076
- Tuesday up 12
- Wednesday up 114
- Thursday down 841
- Friday down 721

So I'm likely to go totally to G on Wed before noon, looking at the seasonality sentimental survey bar chart and the above. Unless it falls like a rock on Monday or Tuesday. Does anybody really like the Stones "Exile on Main Street"? I'm 58 and was right there to 'get it'. 40 years later I still don't get that album. They say you could listen to it several times and like it. Well, I otherwise generally like the Stones. I like Mick Taylor's music on 'Sticky Fingers'. No, not sticky pants. Taylor really gave the Stones a much needed boost at that time. 'Moonlight Mile' is a good song.

De de de de de Dass all folks. When people start talking horoscopes I pull the plug. Maybe I'll catch tomorrow's bounce on the 10% I have left in till tomorrow's closing bell. This stock market reminds me of the time I was assigned to Ft.Benning, in Columbus, GA. 1973. The summer air was thick with humidity and the heat was just,...,jus..., hot. Slow moving in Ga, and impossibly, upwardly slogging, slow moving stocks, until you're so crapped out that you keel over, like when the stock market experiences one of its hot flashes. Gone to 100% G. :toung:
