    How do the fees trickle down to us? I don't see anywhere on my statements that they are deducting a fee. Do they take it from the share prices of the funds?

    James did a great job keeping us informed and being at the front of the battle lines for us.
    May the force be with us.

    Yes- the share price is just docked a penny or two.

    Seems like all that they did to us was to revert to the stone ages, but with use of computers....
    We really haven't progressed much out of the stone age as far as our TSP is concerned. It was a huge leap when we went from the phone and mail IFT change requests to being able to do the requests on line. I think the noon eastern time stinks especially for those farther west. But, the change from a daily IFT to a 2 IFT a month system has probably lost us more money than what we have seen in profits. I'm not saying that most of us are not making money but our profits could have been higher by reducing our exposure with the chance to move our money in and out of funds more than twice a month. With the size of the FRTIB's budget and how it seems to increase every year, why is it that we can do very little on line regarding our TSP? Almost everything has to be mailed or faxed. In my opinion the FRTIB is an overinflated bureaucracy that is out to protect itself and could care less about what happens to our retirement dollars.
