| Who Is TSP Talk? |
 TSP Talk was developed by one of you, a TSP participant. My name is Tom Crowley and I have been involved in investing in one capacity or another since 1984. Following and anticipating the action of the market has been a hobby of mine. My ambition was to understand what makes it tick.

I had wanted to create this website for several years but once the TSP went to five funds and daily transactions I thought it would be worthwhile to others, and I was right. We had a great response.

market commentary can help you understand the market is the key. Much of TSP Talk is free, although we do offer
the premium services for a fee. Our three premium services are: |
| What TSP Talk Can Do For You |
 Stock and bond market volatility can be confusing and frustrating to many investors. Is it safe to be in stocks right now? Should you flee to the safety of fixed rates? Will small capitalization stocks or international funds outperform the S&P 500 index in the coming months? No one can be certain about any of these questions, but when it comes to investing, making no decision is often not the right answer. [more] |
