    Considered a move to C/S/I today but ultimately stayed put.

    Maybe we will revisit 2351 for <$ buy in.

    Jobless claims might increase more soon especially if this shutdown isn't averted. Federal workers can claim unemployment after 2 weeks right? Not entirely sure but heard that somewhere.

    This FedSmith article may clear up some of your questions. https://www.fedsmith.com/2019/01/02/...fits-shutdown/ Be aware that rules may vary from state to state, and more than likely a payback will be required if the fed does as it has in the past and pays for the time it wasted.

    Looking like yesterday would have been a good day to jump in for a quick hit and run.

    Default Long time absence

    Nothing like a 10% drop to bring you back to your favorite forum after a long absence.

    Since I have been gone awhile and my age has moved me into a more conservative TSP balancing act I figured I owe a somewhat new investment strategy. I am currently G-95% and S-5%, been there since November. All because my appetite for risk tolerance diminished, my investing goals have changed, and my time horizon is shorter.
    I don’t like uncertainty and safer, steadier returns feel better to me than the potential for larger returns. There was a time when 10%+ returns was my goal and sometimes I made it and sometimes not so much. Like many of you, I have ridden the Bull and at times was spit out by the Bear. We were aggressive then and got emotional together on those crazy rollercoasters.
    I still have the stomach to take quick short-term bounce chance but the Ups and Downs that this market is experiencing and head fakes make it difficult to time that.
    From time to time I’ll follow the leader from a few of you but very seldom will I go more than 20% into risk unless I’m feeling really good about the chances.

    Well that certainly was an interesting end of day trading. Looks like we are setting up for another one today also.
