Exactly. Which is why that strategy does not work in the current market environment unless we just happen to get lucky. Our TSP trading options are severely handicapped. If they are going to limit our IFTs, at least make the closing bell our IFT cutoff time. But of course, that will never happen.
The TSP simply is not a productive investment vehicle for folks who are not buy-n-holders.
