I give up. I got hammered the last week.
Moving to 100% G and licking my wounds .
I'm going to wait a long time to try to stem the blood flow.
Hope there is a big bounce back today to limit your losses.
In Dog Beers I've only had two.
It took me 3 weeks to get my head right the last time I lost big, which was very much similar to what you just tried. I’m staying in G until it’s more obvious to me that I have a reasonable chance of success. My gut instinct in this market stinks and is highly unreliable.

Just sticking a toe in the water. Moving to 80% G, and C and S will get 10% each.
Did I mention the toenail is still bleeding?
I was able to interview TSP Board External Affairs Director Kim Weaver this morning. She says wait times are way down, but there is still a ways to go before they are satisfied.

Nice James. Listening now. Why don't you "Blog this Post" (use the "Blog this Post" button below your post.)
That will also post it on Facebook and Twitter.
Thanks!

Nice interview James. She seemed completely oblivious to the problem that there is currently no way on the withdrawals page to start/stop/change the periodic installment payment type of withdrawals. Retirees need to know when that will be fixed.
to clarify- it is NOT an error- it's the plan. they WANT you to have to call in.
for a withdrawal: to start a NEW monthly withdrawal, there is a drop down box.
if you have a CURRENT monthly withdrawal, and want to change it- it is a TWO STEP PROCESS;
FIRST- YOU HAVE TO CALL, AND TELL THEM YOU WNAT TO CANCEL THE CURRENT MONTLY DISTRIBUTION.
SECOND- YOU HAVE TO WAIT A DAY- as she said you have to wait until the system updates overnight.
ONLY THEN- the next day- can YOU LOG BACK IN, AND YOU WILL NOW SEE A NEW DROP=DOWN BOX for requesting a monthly withdrawal.
THAT'S what they planned, and that's how it works.
I told her she needs to have a "WITHDRAWAL VIDEO - and she said she will make that happen. Might take a little bit to get done.
Good luck.

Interesting breakthrough today.
This is the first time it has crossed since back in March.
The crossover is one of many inputs into my decisions. I’m currently at 21% stocks. Am thinking to up that to 50% on Monday. Let’s see what it looks like Monday a.m.

I’m feeling much, much better about things today. We clearly have broken the downward cycle, at least for now.
With renewed confidence, I am now moving all into stocks. I missed the deadline, so this will be effective at COB Monday.
Going to:
C= 40%
S=50%
I = 10%
Wish me luck. I’m glad things have settled down.
We clearly have changed from a down cycle, to an up cycle. How long will this last? I think a good deal of time.
