    I am retiring on April 1 and I am wondering is it better to work within in TSP or move to other funds. If this posts then there is a problem witn Mozilla Firefox Browser, I am using IE for this post.

    Hey D&C - welcome.
    It should work with Firefox but you are not the first to have problems.

    The best things about TSP are the matching funds and low overhead costs. Thedownsides arelimits oninvestments (we need more choices) and the 12 noon deadline.

    I'm sure others will chime in.

    Tom

    Tom, I am CSRS and don't receive matching funds, but it seems like there is more mobility within TSP than on the outside. I am talking to Fidelity, but their returns don't seem to be any better than I can get in TSP. I will be going to work with the state, and they have a small match, and I have access to the Columbia Acorn Fund that has a 16.42% return for the life of the fund, which goes back to 1970. I am really narrowing it down to 2 choices TSP and Acorn, or Acorn. I welcome any thought on this matter

    16% sounds good but I don't know much about acorn. I was thinking more along the lines of opening an IRA account with a broker where you can buy any fund or stock you wanted.

    It doesn't work with Opera or Mozilla 1.7 either:

    Code:
    Javascript URL thread: "javascript: document.reply_form.message.value = document.forms[1].text_editor.value; document.reply..."
    Error:
    name: TypeError
    message: Statement on line 1: Expression evaluated to null or undefined and is not convertible to Object: document.forms[1].text_editor
    Backtrace:
     In unknown script
     document.reply_form.message.value = document.forms[1].text_editor.value;

    I installed Firefox myself and am experiencing the same problems. Once again I contacted support. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    You can try Firefox again. It is working for me now. I had to delete the PayPal Donate code. Oh well.

    I do know the WYSIWYG editor won't work with Firefox. In other words the bold, underline, quotes, etc. won't work without using the codes if you know what I mean.
