Got my fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Looks like -1.58% for the S&P 500 today but the futures shot up another 20 S&P points after the close, erasing half the losses. So, you may be getting a break on your buy today!

Merry Christmas!

The House isn’t any big deal. It’s the Senate that isn’t going to approve the $5 billion. Trump would need 60 votes to pass that- and he’s only got 50. So that House bill won’t even make it to a vote.

Tomorrow- no Senate vote will take place, and then it will be too late.

Now I’m about 80%+ sure that wE are all going to be furloughed tomorrow night.

My guess is we will be out until next year. (Jan 3rd), when the new House comes back, because they will have to start all over again.

Are the TSP employees essential?

Government shutdowns lately have been bullish, but would it be during the holiday season? I know I'm not spending any more money until we're no longer furloughed lol.

In 2008 I was down almost 13%. As of today I'm down almost 15%. Worst year ever.

Where is Yoda...we need more than the force

Santa, is that you I hear? (*jingle bells ringing*)

Your 1 day play may work out after all......we'll see if the looming shutdown plays any part at all in trying to bring this back down

Got my fingers crossed for you!
So far it looks like you nailed it!
Hope she holds!

Ouch! That hurts. Here's hoping that 2019 treats you far better NASA. ... (On the bright side, sounds like you did far better in 2008 than many of us -- certainly me. I rode it to the bottom almost. That's when I realized "Buy and Hold" was a Wall Street brokers/investment banks scam to make money off us little people and ultimately searched and found TSPTalk!)

Spent the night in Avalon Bay, Catalina Island, California. Woke up this morning to a sea lion hanging out on the aft platform.

Life is short.

Life is good.

Merry Christmas.
