I like TSPTalk and I think most people here are well-intentioned but if I followed their advice, I'd be hunkered down in my basement with a thousand cans of tuna fish.
It is well worth the price. And I also do not strictly follow IT's system. Actually, I don't think I follow any system but spend time flip flopping from one to another to randomly making my own moves. So far, I am still doing alright this year although, had I stuck to IT's system I would have another 3.5%. Last year every move I made was a bust, so I tightened things up some.
11.80% for 2012, 24.79% for 2013, -5.13% for 2014 , 4.94% for 2015 WTF?, -0.04% for 2016 , 13.09% for 2017======= 8.23% , Moved to Vanguard in 2018
Hello,
Just curious, I am sure I can find it, but what is the price for the service?
thanks,
B

Can someone please tell me how to delete this post 2575? I talk too much.
a little nasty there aren't u?
I subscribe to a few financial news letters run by former high level financial fund managers for example and they are $50-100/yr.
I know nothing about IT, I presume he/her is a full time government employee and never worked in the financial investment world.
so yes a little pricey compared to other professionals.

And here I though market timing prowess should be determined by one's track record and not one by what one "use" to do. Silly me. I assume these newsletter guys you speak of are "former" high level financial fund managers for a reason? As far as me, well I'm a "former" government employee (and military) who quit a cushy government job in order to do this market timing thing full time. Who is stupid enough to do that you ask? ME, because I developed a timing system over a 6+ year period that actually works, consistently. 6 years is probably longer than than those "newsletter" guys went to college to learn what they do/did from someone who probably wasn't able to do it themselves. Traders trade, those that can't, teach. So we have former fund managers who are obviously on the downside of their careers writing newsletters versus a guy who quit a nice job to time the markets full time and has a very good track record (proof) that charges more money. Hmmmmm, tough choice.
BTW, I post results for my subscribers all the time of "current" high level financial fund managers who I'm sure charge A LOT more than I do so that they can see how we compare to the best. I don't think any of them are planning on quitting my service any time soon............just saying.
What exactly is the definition of professional anyway? This is what Wikipedia says "A professional is a member of a profession or any person who earns their living from a specified activity.", Hmm, I guess that makes me a professional too.

At least for engineering, you have to pass a test; a test that is largely based on ethics.
Which actually is a pretty significant difference between IT and a 'professional'. Not being a registered investment adviser means IT doesn't have a piece of paper that says he accepts responsibility to act ethically in his 'job'.
For someone you don't really know personally, most of the time, that is a pretty big deal.
But I'm not personally concerned as I believe IT to be ethical, and he is trading his own money with the same exact signals. And I don't think it takes much more than a couple months to realize that IT cares about the integrity of the information he provides and that his followers make responsible decisions (like deviating from the system).
... If anything, IT is one of the biggest ethics-police on this message board
