I know I am probably in the minoirty here, but my investing philosophy is buy and hold. I guess only time and compounding will tell........

No, you are not alone - there are others. Some with a low profile and some with superlative bull manure. It is your money and your future retirement depends on how you handle yourself. Hope to hear more as time passes.

According to the "most recent" transactions on the TPS page, my beloved L2040 fund was last added to on 5/17, a Wednesday. If that holds true, then at COB today, this paycheck's money will be added. Why oh why can't the market tank every other Wednesday, so I can buy shares at bargain prices.

Still holding 100% L2040; two more weeks of market noise before we buy again.

It's hard to believe we are already at the halfway point for 2006. To my fellow postal employees, in just 6 short months from now the Christmas rush will be over!

For the first month of this year I was G-20%, C-35, S-30, I-15. Starting in February I switched to 100% L2040 and have been there ever since.

Halfway through this year, I have a modest 4.93% TSP return. Any positive % return above inflation (let's say inflation is roughly 3%), and I am making money. Not too shabby considering my switch to the L2040 fund earlier this year has been my ONLY move this year. Set it and forget it. It gives me more time to spend with my family and friends. Avoid the market noise and investment porn out there and focus on what's really important.
