I've wondered that myself. I suppose it depends on how freaking contentious the whole thing gets. But besides how the market might react, what about our ability to move funds in TSP?
It will go up
It will go down
Not sure
POLL
Without getting into the political aspects of this, and the sobering fact that this could have an impact on the lives of many of our members:
What will a Gov't shutdown mean for the Stock Market?

When will we know if the TSP will be open if there is a shutdown, nothing on the stupid website we are paying for.
I like TSPTalk and I think most people here are well-intentioned but if I followed their advice, I'd be hunkered down in my basement with a thousand cans of tuna fish.
I'm calling to find out!
Miss Brandy says they are NOT affected by the shutdown!
THIS IS WHERE I WOULD PUT SOMETHING TO REPRESENT MY THINKING, BUT THEN THEY SHOW UP!
Tracker = Check my position
The public will take it as a savings to the tax payers but don't know it may be a overall loss because goverment employees get backpay, contractors get paid because of contracts and there is more overtime than normal to catch up the backlog of work. They should just give everyone a two week layoff with unemployments benifits like factories do for summer shut downs, instead of vacations, to save the two week payroll.
Don't bias your charts. Show support and resistance. My comments and charts are not trading recommendations.
A government shutdown means the people working the Lincoln m
Memorial and other sites will be staying home. The rest will be working, right? Just the rumor I read this morning.
Ended 2011 with 4.3%. Well, at least it was positive.
Those who actually answer the phones at the call center are no longer Federal employees. They used to be, until it was contracted out under the prior President .
Those answering the phones today at TSP are contractor emplpoyees, and the contract runs year to year.
A shutdown should not affect the ability to move money around in the TSP.
(No special knowledge- just my thoughts on the subject).
