    July Outlook:

    It is interesting to note that for the last four (4) years, the S fund was negative (-) in July of 2015, 2014 and 2012.
    F, C and I Fund were negative in July 2014 only.
    I wonder what July 2016 will bring...

    F Fund C Fund S Fund I Fund
    2015 0.74% 2.10% -0.12% 2.08%
    2014 -0.19% -1.37% -4.38% -1.95%
    2013 0.13% 5.10% 6.88% 5.29%
    2012 1.38% 1.40% -0.62% 0.56%

    MC,

    Per your request !

    Now that you are retired, you can roll your TSP balance over into an IRA...

    What I did ? I opened a new "traditional" IRA with USAA, and rolled over all but 3 years of my estimated monthly withdrawal rate to a self-directed brokerage IRA there....rolled all of the Wife's 403(b) (Teacher) retirement account, too, into an IRA in her name...then drew down the balance on my TSP in equal monthly payments.

    I did it that way because I could withdraw from TSP without penalty, but I couldn't withdraw from my IRA until I was 59.5...thus the 3 years left in TSP...

    I assume many different companies also offer brokerage trading IRAs...do your "due diligence" if you decide to go that route !

    FWIW...this worked out beautifully for us...we had the monthly TSP withdrawal when needed, early on in my retirement. And now I can trade our retirement funds as I see fit, NOT subject to the stupid 2 IFT rules of the TSP !

    I've focused on a conservative allocation of "buy-and-hold" stocks and funds, with a target of a 4% dividend (except for the bonds !), that matches my pre-retirement estimated withdrawal rate. OTOH, our expenses have been lower than I estimated (so far !), so I haven't even tapped either IRA since our TSP was drawn down to zero in July 2015...almost a year ago !

    I also keep a portion of money in cash (to avoid trading on margin, etc), and some set aside to trade stuff like the VIX, and a premium service...my "mad money" ! Just plugged in the numbers as of 26 June, and my "mad money" is up to 11% of our total retirement assets...a little higher than I would normally have it...

    Anyway...HTH !!!
