One more interesting article about Fed policy. History and Fed failings. This one indicates current policies not helpful to market in long run. Comparison to Great depression.

Help! Would someone direct me on how to upload a spreadsheet? Size limits or must they be shared via private email? Trying to post analysis to TSP Millionaires thread.

500K is the max for xls and xlsx files.

To upload a spreadsheet you need to select "go advanced" instead of posting a quick reply. Then look at the icons and select the paperclip (to the right of the ).

1. Select "add files"
2. Select "select files"
3. At this point you can locate the file on your computer you wish to attach. Select "open".
4. Make sure there is an "X" in the box next to your file.
5. Select "upload file".

If it's too big you can try zipping (compressing) it. Are zip files allowed, Tom? Is it also a 500K max?

Thanks I'll check before posting .

I did not buy in today because market is continuing to go downward ... Looking for a bottom and entry point.


i have been looking at Slow and fast stochastic oscillator momentum indicators and MACD for entry then at price movement on both bollinger bands and trying to read candles and looking at other comments by tsp talk members dealing with support and resistance and at Tom' s market commentary and charts.


Here are a few charts I pulled up today. All of them for all funds look like good entry points ( i.e. MACD is going negative, and Slow Stochastic is below 20 meeting my criteria for entry) but the only bad thing is that price is moving down along bottom of bollinger bands so I do not want to enter until I see some upward price action and candlesticks bounce away from lower BB a couple times up enough indicating the bottom has hit. The s and c funds show expanding BBs and with prices on lower band that would seem to indicate prices will be exploding downward...so just watching for now. Watching daily.

Okay . So I finally entered market yesterday. Hoping it doesn't go down much more... But sticking in there. Really should have entered Wednesday but wanted some upward confirmation although would not be surprised if market drops back down to hit the lower Bollinger band before moving upward. Most are still indicating it is a bull market. If it drops a lot more, I still have another IFT left to buy more. Planning to sell in September depending on prices.

Here are charts I am using. Prices bouncing up on August 23. Also Noticed that these links stay up to date so can reuse. Will not repost them.

Years ago in the late 1970s we had what was known as October massacres where the Dow simply slipped into a bottomless black hole with no end in sight - very scary but an opportunity for guys like me that were using buy stops. It's an exciting time to be an investor and money will be made in bundles.
