Well the top two (Nadeem & Dorado) just bailed to the G Fund today. Maybe we should have joined them.

OK, looks like this was our up day. Did anybody get out? I didn't. I stayed put. Maybe I'm to greedy. Oink.
Next week will be different. I don't know what I'm going to do yet but I will be positioning myself for an entry into September. I may head for the lilly pad or try one of the stock funds. The S Fund has done good so far in August but I don't expect it to keep the lead in September. Historically the I Fund has done well in September. I will have to wait and see how it looks next week. I still have 2 IFTs left.

September isn't starting out very good.
May the force be with us.
Looks to be coming back now. It's probably just the post holiday selloff. Still, I'm glad I bailed at the end of August. I'm expecting more volatility in September.

A stock-market bear signal is at a more-than-4-decade high, says Goldman

A stock-market bear signal is at a more-than-4-decade high, says Goldman
"A gauge of bullish and bearish momentum in the U.S. stock market is ringing alarms for strategists at Goldman Sachs.
The investment bank’s so-called bull-bear indicator, which examines five market factors, indicates that the likelihood of a bear market occurring is at its highest point since around the mid-1970s."

Well after the ride on the "S" fund roller coaster yesterday I am changing into a fresh pair of sticky pants today. Hope the future rumors are true. Not looking to getting it all back but fingers crossed for half.
Good luck everyone.
May the force be with us.

TSP Board Approves 16 Percent Increase in Budget
- By Erich Wagner September 17, 2018
https://www.govexec.com/pay-benefits...oref=top-story
"The board overseeing the federal government’s 401(k)-style retirement savings program voted unanimously Monday to approve a $360.6 million budget for fiscal 2019, a 16 percent increase over current spending."
"As a result of increasing participation, although next year’s budget marks a 16 percent increase overall, the uptick is only 8 percent, or $5, per participant. TSP Executive Director Ravindra Deo said at a board meeting Monday that a number of ongoing enterprise projects also contributed to the higher budget."
May the force be with us.
Wonder how big their bonuses will be? Bet ya they will be way higher than 16%...
