    Welcome back.

    The way the market has been this year even 10% is good.
    May the force be with us.

    Thanks! And I am happy with that in my 3rd year of investing after a down year for me last year with some experimenting gone wrong and learning the ropes. Had I stuck it out in the stock market over the Summer instead of being in F-fund for 4 months, I'd be doing really well. Oh well, hindsight is 20-20. Here's to 2017!

    C and S fund sitting prettttttty high! Post-Trump rally looks good so far after a week, but I'm feeling hesitant about February. I have a feeling I may be staying in the F fund or going G until those stock prices drop a bit just in time for the Spring action to take over and boost up a bit.

    I agree with you on February. I think we will see a 3 to 4 percent dip in the next couple of weeks.

    The post-election year seasonality would agree with you as well...Dow Jones Post-Election Years :: SeasonalCharts.de

    I'm hoping so, because the last 7 years in the S-fund for February have all ben positive, and 6 out of the last 7 for the C-fund have been February gains. I feel February will be a streak breaker, hopefully!

    While the F-fund won't get me huge gains, if it saves me from losing 2-3%+, I consider that a win. Now, to be patient...

    Gonna do a seasonal jump and stray from the F-fund which I tinkered with in January and I'm going to go 100% G-fund trough the month of February.

    Been a fairly decent year so far sitting a bit above 10%. Been following some seasonal strategies and hoping the usually greener end of the year historically pushes me over 15% for the year when the clocks strikes midnight January 1st!

    1st update since September!

    Up over 12, almost 13% for the year and ending 2017 in stocks almost the whole way is my plan. Have a PIP of almost 18% since last November which has definitely been my highest so far in my 4 years of TSP adventures.

    Ready for the Santa Rally Boost to jump my savings up a bit.

    Switched over to 100% S-fund last day of August. Ready to just let it sit for a while and contribute and not worry about it much as I keep jumping ship at wrong times and missing gains. Need to trust my many years of service left to go and compound interest as well as buying cheap when it goes lower for a bit instead of misjudging the timing of lows and highs.
