I bet most, if not all, of their money isn't even in the TSP. They aren't a government entity right?
If we didn't have a 2 IFT limit, today might be a good day to 'nibble' in the stock funds if you have been on the sidelines during this recent sell-off.
I'm not talking going 100% C, S, or I and I'm not even saying go 50% stocks (although those could be debatable in another thread) - but a nibble of about 10% or so might be smart here "IF" we had a few more IFT's to work with.... But we don't and we can't use a transfer trivially like that. We are more forced to try to pick a bottom and use our precious IFT's wisely.
The TSP might say you should not try to pick a bottom but rather stay the investment course. But I would guess some of them are feeling a little queasy this morning, this month, and this summer.

Guess they are. I must have been thinking of the fund manager, BlackRock.
"The FRTIB is an independent Government agency that is managed by five presidentially appointed board members and an Executive Director who are required by law to manage the TSP prudently and solely in the interest of the participants and their beneficiaries.
The FRTIB also consults with the Employee Thrift Advisory Council (ETAC), a statutorily created Advisory Committee comprising representatives of employee organizations, unions, and the uniformed services. The Council provides advice to the Board and the Executive Director on matters relating to the investment policies and administration of the TSP."

But they are saving everyone money by having the IFT limit, right?

I like TSPTalk and I think most people here are well-intentioned but if I followed their advice, I'd be hunkered down in my basement with a thousand cans of tuna fish.
