Re: RealMoneyIssues
day trading tsp with only 2 moves in per month is a difficult proposition. but the unlimited outs to G help some.
i use an online brokerage that allows unlimited free trading of about 10 ETF's, have id'd 3 of them that proxy C,S,I close enough, can always shade value vs. growth, emerging vs. international, and use 'investor checking' bank sweep feature to cover 'G'.
there are other brokerages out there that beat the price, and mutual fund families that let you rotate funds among the house for free.
upside is i don't have to do anything different as far as research which way i want to go with the money and have no trading limits or costs, downside is given a sharp knife i can cut myself pretty quick.
when i'm heavy in equities in private ROTH IRA and brokerage accts i tend to be less agressive in the tsp. can always run tsp to 'G' if out of IFT's and keep pounding equity buys nonstop on the private side when the window opens. vision doesn't always translate into execution sometimes.
have to balance total investment mix among accounts = more thinking, it is paying off a bit better and i like the freedom, but definately more work.
small numbers on my part too, so i can afford to be a bit loose with the change, i hope i get better at it and live long enough to retire.
