Thread: TSP Skins Challenge

We could also do 1st, 2nd and 3rd depending on the number of people. Transfers must be PM'd to Tom before the noon deadline?

Any takers?

What do ya say techy? You're doing well this year and since it'll be for cash, who cares if you quit while you're losing again..............

How about $5.00 ahead? Thats all I can afford right now. I normally cash out my offshore sportsbook after march madness but it's not looking too good right now.

That 10% fee would probably land me in federal prison.

Maybe that March Madness or a baseball pool might work out better to keep us busy. I'm getting closer to getting those TSP Talk shirts ready to give away as prizes.

I know what you mean Milk_man. It takes a lot of effort to stay completely on top of your TSP. It's easier to justify after beating the S&P 500 than when you are behind. That is my competition. I'm actually working hard to not get competitive with my account. I think your idea would hurt me so I'll pass. I'm only willing to stake bragging rights.

Besides you probably wouldn't pay if you lost!! I don't need MILK as a payment! Just kidding~

Don't worry Tom, we'd take good care of ya!

You could just think of it as Federal Housing in a sub-standard neighborhood

I would agree with the out of groove and not competitive feeling.

I agree that staying 100% Gfund for any length of time does tend to get boring. Now for some real excitement, try staying in the S or I fund for a prolong period of time. Not knowing if you are going to gain or lose a lot of money.
Now pass those dice.
