Rangerray I hope this cleared some things up for you.
It did shed some light on many aspects, but still, I wonder how much of the process of moving our money between funds actually involves real people, and thereby, an administrative cost in time or money. I can't believe there's a team of people out there that personally have to get involved to a large degree every time I move my shares. In this day and age of computers, I'd think machines are doing most of the grunt work. It's not like I'm asking the TSP to do analysis for me.
Then again, I know very little about what goes on after I initiate a move at the TSP website. I know, right now, I can move my shares around at e-Trade and it's pretty much immediate on my end. My trades there would just about have to be handled by a bunch of computers talking to each other because it happens so dang fast.
