Thread: Personal Investment Peformance (PIP)?

Because I can no longer resist.

Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the 12 months ending 07/31/2009 is 7.12%. (Your PIP is posted by the 3rd business day of each month.)

I owe it all to you people, natural light beer and a lotta luck.

Congrats to all of the above. Ya got me beat.

Me too James ! I didn't lose -40% in 2008, but putting my money at risk
during that year still hurt us to one degree or another. I'm greatful that
I wasn't one of those -40% cases, many of my coworkers were. I can't
imagine what their PIP results look like. But a -7.00% might make one look
like a genius in comparison to those unfortunate individuals.

It's been a month since I posted my last pip.

Keep it up....you might want to mirror the tractor man to help you make up some ground.....I'm up to 11% so I am very happy about my last 12 months and am ready to make some green.....but....I'll be watching coolhand through this rocky period!

Tractor's made a total of 2 IFTs this year. To mirror him I'd have to have a time machine.

Coolhand is tracking the top 25% and thats all well and good but they are in strong hand status. Theres really no need for them to make any IFTs except for capitol preservation.

What I need to figure out is how to mirror the movers. You know...those who are moving up the tracker now. Basically it's the ones who get the prize from Tom each month for top performance.

I guess I'll have to get out a pen and a legal pad...unless theres another way I don't know about.

I'll Post This Months pip also. I like going up.

"Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the 12 months ending 08/31/2009 is 24.84%. (Your PIP is posted by the 3rd business day of each month.)"

First PIP ever came out in September as my first contribution was sometime mid-August of last year.

Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the 12 months ending 08/31/2009 is 21.46%.

Solid first year. I would like this to get up to 30% by years end. (And I know this wont happen every year!) Which I think is doable, as long as I stay clear of the bad stuff and hang on to santa come December.

So, tell me, is it too much to hope that our PIP is in fact the net increase or decrease in the value of our investments? --that it does not include our contributions and matching contributions?

This has always been what has made me crazy about (not in a positive way) TSP. I could never figure out a decent way to track how much of the increase in the balance was an increase in value vs additional deposits.

I know the formula is murky, and that this would be an over-simplification, but does the PIP basically and finally tell me how I'm doing??

--Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the 12 months ending 08/31/2009 is -8.32%. (this was for August --clambering back up!)
