Hi everyone, I've actually been a daily lurker since 2004 but didn't really discover the MB until earlier this year...so many links, so little time (you know how it is). I've also been watching the tracker and look forward to being on there as soon as I'm eligible (so far I'm sitting at 18% for the year).

I've been a Fed since 2001 and was fortunate enough to accumulate shares in CSI right from the start. By the spring of 2004 I was shocked at how much my account had increased and decided right then that I needed to find strategies on how to manage my account. My first search result was TSPTalk, and I've been a daily reader ever since.

I look forward to learning and contributing to the MB.

Welcome, Nordic! Birchie better watch out or you'll run over him in Tracker.

Thanks alevin, glad to be here. Birchtree is something, isn't he? I'd be happy just cracking the top 50 this year, that will probably depend on how we time the upcoming correction. I love BT's bullishness, I was a permabull buy and holder myself, until last year's disaster :notrust: Now, I grumble giving up just 2-3%.

Got one brother and one sister who are Spartans.

One sister, and my wife, are Wolverines.

So, at the thanksgiving table, I always plead the 5th and ask them to pass the gravy. :-)

All three teams took it on the chin yesterday, MSU's was a heartbreaker on the last play...might result in punkin pie in the face at the table ;)

Thanks Steady, I'm glad to be a part of the MB. This site has taught me the majority of what I know about the markets and look forward to learning more from everyone. Now I just need to find a way to catch up to Mr. Birch :rolleyes:
