Count me in as well.

Count me in as well. Any chance of this improving is well worth it. Thanks.

I'm In

10 If Needed.

I am also in although I thought someone had looked into this idea before when the board started putting the restrictions on us. but I am in if someone can get a lawyer to take the case.

I'm in, these policies by the TSP board have put us at extreme disadvantage to market players, we have no flexibility whatsoever anymore. In the days of super computers, high algos and bots trading back and forth, we can't just sit back and let our money disappear if an event occurs outside our allotted trading limit. The technology is there to make instantaneous changes if we need to do so with minimal cost to the overall funding. As others mentioned, we're not asking for major changes, just incremental improvements over this atrocious system that we've been locked into...

I'm in for 10...just give me an address to send the unmarked bill.

REALLY?! DO YOU REALLY YOU WANT A CHANCE TO HAVE MORE IFTs? AFTER READING THIS, DO NOTHING - AND TWO, EFFECTIVELY, IS ALL YOU AND WE WILL EVER GET.

POST A ******* “YES, I’M IN,” ******** AND LET EVERYONE KNOW, AND PERHAPS WE WILL GET A REAL CHANCE FOR A FEW MORE.

THIS EFFORT IS LIKELY THE ONLY TIME ANYONE WILL EVER PERSUE THIS!!! IT REALLY IS, NOW-OR-NEVER!!!

IF YOU READ THIS AND DON’T INDICATE A “YES,” WE WILL MOST ASSUREDLY BE A VICTIM OF THIS RULE UNTIL WE ARE 59 and ½ YEARS OLD.

SOME PEOPLE ARE INDICATING A POSSIBLE DOLLAR AMOUNT - - ALL I’M LOOKING FOR RIGHT NOW, IS A “YES.”

BESIDE SUFFERING THE IFT RESTRICTION, WE WILL, EFFECTIVELY, ALSO ABDICATE CONTROL OF OUR RETIREMENT TO THE TSP BOARD FOR NOT ONLY OURSELVES, BUT ALL FEDERAL EMPLOYEES, FOREVER.

WE HAVE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATIVE LAW EXPERIENCED, ATTORNEYS - DAVID AND JOSH ROSE - TO REVIEW THE BOARD'S 2008 IFT LIMITATION FOR A STAY OR REFORMATION. I WAS QUOTED $3,000 AS A RETAINER AND I BELIEVE THIS COULD GIVE US A REALISTIC APPRIASAL. YOU MAY NOTE THAT DAVID ROSE WAS A LONG TIME FEDERAL EMPLOYEE, LIKE OURSELVES. http://www.roselawyers.com

AT SOME POINT, I WILL ALSO CONSIDER WRITING THE FEDERAL TIMES TO PUBLISH INFORMATION ON THE EFFORT. IT PUBLISHED MY EDITORIAL ARTICLE ON THE 2008 IFT RULE ON OCTOBER 13, 2008.

P.S. TSPTalk or WXExtreme, I need to know how to get this on a prominent thread.

deal me in.

You could try putting it in the TSP News forum:
http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/forumdisplay.php?40-TSP-News

...but you'd want to keep it active so it stays in recent posts list. I will put a link on the home page to the thread once you get it started so it gets more attention. Make sure the thread title is a good description of the issue and a grabber. Like maybe "Tired of the IFT Limits?", or "Time for IFT Limit Changes!", etc.

I would suggest keeping it as professional as possible. I know it is an attention grabber but I would avoid the all-caps look. I think posts lose some seriousess and credibilty when using all-caps... or big or color fonts, etc.

Let me know what I can do to help.

"Yes" - I'm onboard! Thanks for pursuing this, NSurf9!

Yes, I'll get in. But while we're asking for cookies, why not ask for the whole jar? Instead of just a couple more IFTs per month, why not extend the IFT close time to the close of the markets? And not just when it's processed, but when it's logged (I'm sure the computers can tell time an IFT is entered). Also, why not weekend IFTs that take effect BEFORE the Monday opening? Don't ya'll just love watching Europe burn over the weekend knowing your gonna have to eat any losses till COB Monday? What, the computers can't work over the weekend?? Any other ideas?

I don't really believe we would get all these, but always ask for more than you're willing to settle for.
