Dang this is going to hurt eventually.

If we could just not give away money by the Quadrillions to solve other countries problems and redirect all of that back here to the Homeland to which we all live, that might be a good start..............but what do I know.
I do agree though.........the PAIN is coming in one way or another. The question is, when.
I'm not much to bitch about stuff, but I really, really miss the AMERICA that I grew up in.
Labor market continues to cool, unemployment benefit claims rise, equities seem overvalued, debt continues to rise etc. etc. etc.
Now for the good news. My line in the sand is S&P 4800 which I think we hit. At that point I will continue to buy into the C, S, & I but my current investments have done their job and are coming to the garage. The G Fund rate has a hand in my decisions, so I’ll be watching that as well.
Interest rates dropping should help things, especially home sales. There will most likely be some failures and successes as business adjust to the continued disappearance of cheap money. Good companies (well organized) will continue to perform but most likely we will continue to see our share of failures of companies that relied on cheap money to survive. We should also see some emerging markets get their act together as well.
IMO 2024 will be a tale of two halves. Which one we see first is anyone’s guess.

Once the S&P 500 hits a new record high after not doing so for more than a year, the index has gone on to rise the following year 93% of the time with a median gain of 13.4%, according to the note.
The S&P 500 is about to notch a new all-time high. Here's what could come next. (msn.com)
This wouldnt bother me a bit.

If you're watching the market today, don't get lulled asleep. It's a snoozer.
Decided to maintain my position. In all honesty, I was making a cup of coffee in the kitchen and missed the deadline.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year. May you currently be positioned where you want to be for 2024.
Remember, sometimes just keeping up with inflation is a victory.
2023 was a decent year, I would take a repeat.
Market Futures down this morning. Not really surprised, between profit takers and folks waiting to see a few key reports this week. Might push a bit more in if we are down hard today.
Wednesday:
December policy meeting minutes
Job-openings figures for the month of November
Thursday:
ADP's National Employment report
Friday:
Labor Department's December nonfarm-payrolls report

Expecting a good enough year in the market that our choices within the TSP will keep me mildly interested, going to let the G Fund be one of my drivers. I will probably spend a bit more time with our dividend paying individual stocks. Going to hold my position at least one more day. The major indices didn’t show me enough downside to add to my position and at noon cutoff was to sharply down for me to retreat to the G fund.
We were going to build another home, our last one, but I may hold off. I expect home prices as well as building materials to retreat some, if supply and demand improves, which could save me $10K-$20K. While they are predicting mortgage rates to fall that won’t help me much, I plan on paying for it outright.

What is the current TSP G Fund interest rate?
Yeah, it sure did.......but at the moment the G-Fund Crew is almost Totally Dominating in the top 200 in the Tracker Standings for the year so far...... LOL
