    Default Capitalism ended on April 1st,2008 and the day a dictatorship was born

    The Russians have a better system installed than us. Thanks TSP for roadblocking me to making a few bucks. I guess I need a passport to enter the land of the privileged.

    The thing that upsets me the most about this whole thing is that 'they' paint a picture that 'we' who actively manage our accounts are doing something wrong. When the reality is, we CAN'T do anything wrong. We were merely abiding by the rules that 'they' installed!

    I feel your pain 12%, we were within the Law when they created this
    fictious rule of limitations. When good people made a choice to ignore
    the "not legal yet" request from the Board, they payed through an
    unlawful penalty. There actions can't be (by law) retalitory against
    those who decided not to listen. Thats just what they did. They are
    digging themselves deeper and deeper into personal liability. Maybe
    not professional as they have certain protections under the law. But
    as my documentation shows, a reasonable person would conclude
    that I (along with 556 other participants) was penalized to force a
    behavior which was not required by law.

    Just think, if the Board had thought that it would be less costly to stop
    all Interfund Transfers for a week and did so without having the legal
    right, could they get away with such a move? No ? Why not, after all it
    would have been in the best interest of the 3.9 million participants! And
    don't forget that the Buy & Hold method of investing has been proven to
    be the best method "over the long run". Pleeeease ! They never expected
    3700 individual participants would have the nerve to stand up for what's
    right. Guess what, they were right ! Only 557 did !

    I can hear it now; "Just who the Hell do they think they are anyway! They
    think were joking here, well, we'll show them ! We will carry out 557 mail
    restrictions to show them were not joking. When they come back on their
    hands and knees we'll tell them that decision is not appealable. By the
    way, did anyone see what squalebear wrote about us on TSPtalk ? What,
    do they think, were not monitoring their comments. Their just giving us
    more reason etc....."

    It's enough to make ya sick ! Oooops, sorry for the rant !
    My thoughts of future market events are strictly my gut feelings and have nothing
    to do with actual knowledge or experience concerning the Stock Market or Investing.

    i have a very very very good friend who is also happens to be a federal judge.

    can one of you restricted people PM me a brief explanation of the situation that i can give to him to look at?

    just need the basics and i need it written objectively (without emotion nor bias). Simply lay out the facts as they were/are.
