Wow... you may really be on to something with that CRAP.
What with my moving and stuff I haven't been able to keep up with DOOM.
I hate to say it, but life just got to busy and I stuck my dough in a L fund (2040) and forgot about it. Didn't have time to follow and stuff. I became one of "those people."
Will find a way to stay on top of things once I get my feet set.
Hope all is well with you guys. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year all you super TSPTalkers!!!

CRAP is catching up but you still would have been better of Buy-N-Holding any of our stock funds this year.
Cactus CRAP 9.39% 5.83%
Yeah, especially for me. :sick:
Yeah, I would not have stayed out since July if I had another IFT or two to play with. :mad:
Here are the End-Of-Year results for cactus & CRAP:
Cactus CRAP 13.10% 7.65%
Looks like they both made money but not as much as if you had been in any of our equity funds all year. This was a Buy-And_hold year. At least cactus beat CRAP for this year. :D
Cactus reallocates equities from 100% S to 100% C. This means CRAP remains 100% G.
The return for Cactus so far this year is that of the S Fund: 5.34%
The return for CRAP so far this year is that of the G Fund: 0.17%
As of Feb 5, 2018:
CRAP had a rough year against Cactus in 2017 but is looking pretty good now. It just goes to show you that if you stick with Cactus long enough things will turn to CRAP.
Cactus CRAP (2.87%) 0.24%
