Reply With QuoteAfter a disastrous start of the year I have bounced back enough in the last 2 months to save face.
Elated, couldn't be better.
Satisfied, could be better but I'm happy with what I got.
OK, I'm not losing money but my investments aren't paying off like I expected.
Disappointed, my investments are going backwards and just aren't paying off for me.
Angry, I'm losing money no matter what I do.
How are you doing in TSP?
How many of you are happy with your rate of return in TSP? Think long term as in the last couple of years as opposed to the last quarter.

Just wanted to find out where people were at with their TSP investing. Go ahead and post explanations for your poll answers if you like.

In Dog Beers I've only had two.

I wish the FRTIB would listen but they don't. I know most of us would be doing much better if we had more than 2 IFT's a month. Just preaching to the choir.
May the force be with us.

Still in the Plus but the Markets are NNUUTS!

Re: How are you doing in TSP?
I'm in the "OK" column since 2014. I haven't had a good year in the market since 2013. Hoping to change all that starting this year.

Re: How are you doing in TSP?
Thanks for the replies, everyone. It looks like the "Satisfied" group is winning by a landslide so TSPTalk must be working for most of us here.
I have to admit it is working for me too since I am actually doing better since coming here. Looking at my 5 year average through 2015 I'd be in the "OK" group, but since I'm still trying to make up losses before coming here going back to 2000 I identified with the "Disappointed" group. I'll probably never make up those losses and should instead look forward to how much longer I need to work to afford retirement. At my present rate of returns I'm figuring an extra 5 years. I'm OK with that.
