    THANKS PYRIEL for the help getting this together.

    I started keeping track of a few people I know are faithfully posting there moves. I like to see how people are doing. You should not use just this post to judge how people are doing totally befacuse we don't have a long track record yet. As an example, TSP-Tom is doing very well since October but he had a very bad July/August.

    March February January Total
    TSPTalk -0.30% 1.33% -3.03% -2.00%
    Namor -2.83% 2.78% * * Couldn't post part of January
    Rod -1.07% 3.10% -2.21% -0.17%
    Mike -1.37% 1.75% -2.99% -2.61%
    Fundsurfer-1.58% 0.67% -3.59% -4.50%

    Skip 0.28% 1.24% #N/A #N/A
    cowboy -0.54% 1.33% #N/A #N/A
    Rajn Cajn 1.41% 1.30% #N/A #N/A Highest March…Congrats!

    I got these numbers using the post from each account talk list (2 exceptions - Milk-man was e-mailing me his moves during a 'vacation' and tspgo has a website where he posts his moves). If you are a regular poster but I missed you it was because I either felt you were not posting regularly and had quit or you were not posting in the right place. To make this tally you must have been posting in an account prior to 2/28/05. Looks like we'll have several new members added to the list next month.

    Since there are so many people posting, I'm not going to add you up if your post are too confusing or it looks like you missed some post (ie. you refer to a move that you made 3 days ago but did not post in your account). I'll catch you next month when you get it straight.

    Can someone post the monthly totals for each of the funds for Jan-Mar? One of these days I'll set my spreadsheet up to do it but not this month.

    Extras:

    Spaf: When you going to start an account? You post your moves all but just not in a single account thread.

    Neirbod, tsptorture, Dakota would have been included except it looks as though they have quit posting. (G-man I need a sign that you are still tracking in your account. I see you still post but you have not moved in a long while and you are 100% G-fund.)

    Cajun: You had a couple of late post. I did not include those days in the Tally. Don't think it had much affect.

    I quit counting number of moves. I may add it again later but it is late and I'm tired.

    If I missed you and you weren't included, PM me and I'll add you to the list or let you know where you confused me. There are so many new faces that it would be easy for someone to fall through the cracks.

    Thanks to both of you for doing this.

    My spreadsheet shows me up 1.44 for the year as of COB April 7. Looking at locking into the G fund for the weekend.

    My spreadsheet also shows at the bottom right of the page .48 which is obviously different from what my updated return (the right column) shows. The .48 number is weighed against each individual fund and a 20% each allocation to show my return vs. each. Any idea why those numbers are different?

    Thanks again.

    I can't tell unless I see the spreadsheet. You are using Tom's version which is different than the one I use for the Tally. If you have copied cells down from the bottom, then you problem is in the copied cells. Tom's spreadsheet requires you to make adjustments to the formulas in that case. Pyriel has a version of Tom's spreadsheet that fixes that problem. It is really hard to tell from your description what the problem is. If you want to e-mail me your spreadsheet, PM me and I'll get you my e-mail address.

    very confusing post. Need to see your own tally so that I can compare with mine. I stopped following your post in march because I couldn't tell which one is which. Please pm me so that I can compare my tracker with yours.

    Fundsurfer, if you have time will you do me for first quarter? If you look at my account (GeorgiaGal Account Talk) - my march 17 post displays all my positions up through that date - then the rest can be determined by later posts to the account.

    Thanks

    Cowboy, BONK! I thought the same but figured that is just the way they do (or say)it in Georgia. Figuratively speaking...

    :PThat's Gawga Peach, you numbskulls!

    Okay, okay, you got me! Yes, we slur our syllables and butcher our verbs. But we're very nice (pronounced neyes), and very hospitable.

    When visitors leave, we always say "ya'll come again."

    Please don't call 911-SEX-HARRASMENT!

Yep, and one of them got a-salted!I would of used Gawga Peach but a salted Gawga Peach just doesn't sound right besides that a Gawga Peach would of said "Ya'll come again!"They are so neyes down yonder! Just teasing GawgaGal I love having you on the board you just spice things up for me. Hey was Peachy Spice one of them Spice girls?
