Can't say it enough, but thanx Tom and all for your posts & insights. With no day-trader accounts, I'm just working from a pure TSP perspective... With that and only one more good trade left in...

I simply presumed that if his stated signal is after IFT time for the day, then his signal is for the next day (unless there's an update before IFT time that next day). Maybe he just needs to say...

Jamesxxxxx: Thx for posting the FAA Roth info (My top-rated agency too). Sounds like we can use EmpExpress later this month to start RothTSP contribs. I hadn't checked with HR or links yet... they...

Uptrend, greetings from a fellow Northwesterner from Washington State. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I really appreciated your blog yesterday that educated me on the VIX, plus the one a couple...

Mapper & Khotso, I liked your "Western" discussion. I took am lifelong Westerner (Mostly WA-state, but lived years in NM, Colorado, Idaho & Calif. -- +3yrs in TX who thinks they're West sometime...

THX for sharing your move & reasoning & after-thoughts. I moved more "IN" on 1st new-month IFT chance on a up-day hoping for longer-term overall continuing +slope and April overall seasonality. My...

Who knows the real truth at this time. Reading what you said, I was thinking maybe if I was the kid, and if really walking legally & peacefully and minding my own business, and this scary bigger...

Thx RMI for the quick definition.
Has the accronym changed (tongue in cheek) - as during the prior administration I thought it was DOOFUS (no indorsement intended).

VLM, was that some dripping venom in your post? Not sure what "the POTUS" refers to but it all sounds like you got up on the wrong side of a bed. I've not seen the movie you reference, but if I do,...

JE: FYI -- I'm outta IFTs too; shifted 30% more from G to C,S,I at beginning of month, then pulled it back a few days later on a market drop. However, using the "<1% balancing" I've moved 8-10% to...

Thx Mapper. Age=52. Very unlikely I'll move out of area (not more than 1-2 hours drive), even after retirement. Will ponder the discussion. FYI, See related Thread: ROTH TSP Education Materials?...

Thanx for clarification BT. My only real, current exposure to stock/equities is my TSP. Been investing heavy in that for 20yrs, & with 6-10yrs till fed-retirement, I'm partially in "safe/...

I agree, taxes gotta go up; tax-break party can't go on forever... gonna have to pay for that party & knuckle-down to clean the mess up.
One other factor I'm thinking will have upward force on my...

Birch, I'm confused & missing something here, please explain. If you think JCI a good bet & want to get more, why wait till it hits $36? Why not buy now in low $35-range, unless that was a general...
