    Default TSPTalk and Fedsmith

    Tom, congratulations on joining up with Fedsmith. I think it'll be beneficial to both.

    Just remember us little guys when you get that CNBC job!

    You want to explain this a little more for the rest of us?

    You guys should be ashamed! Don't you read Tom's market comments?

    This is from his comments this morning:


    Administrative Note: One of the things that has always been missing from TSP Talk has been good information about the Savings Plan itself. We have focused mainly on managing the funds. Well, we have joined forces with FedSmith.com, who will now share their TSP Corner articles with us. Check in with TSP Corner each week to get the latest TSP news.

    I did .... I did read his comments. It just looked to me when I got that low in his comments like we got to the boiler plate stuff and I skipped over it.

    It was interesting to read that we are not the only ones to have confusion over how TSP returns are calculated.

    Thanks everyone. They agreed it was a win, win situation. I needed their quality TSP content and I can provide them with more traffic to their site. The ads on that page are for FedSmith so don't be shy checking out their advertisers.

    I hadn't asked him but it's probably a good idea.
