    Thanks for the feedback. I gave up on using the internet and used the automated phone menu. So far that still works for me.

    So, is anyone else locked out of web access to their TSP account now. TSP has my number but they never call it when I select validate or even send a message to my validated email accounts. Now email is no longer an option and I am locked out. Typical inept government operation. TSP is such a PITA.

    Fortunately the phone menu still works for now. Will have to look at moving the bulk of my money out before TSP breaks that as well.

    They seem to make it more and more difficult to make a transaction. What's up with that?

    It's a lot easier for them to make money off of us if we don't keep moving it around.

    Wow, the C Fund and S Fund are taking off in opposite directions. What happened?

    C vs S divergence: must be a ZIG day & one or the other thought it a ZAG day (?)

    Wow, the S Fund underperformed the C Fund by over 16% this last year. It has never been so much less since we got the S Fund in 2001.

    It looks like inflation pressures are hitting the small caps hard. It will be interesting to see if that continues this year. I suspect it will. Smaller companies are hit harder with the rising cost of borrowing money.

    Not sure where I heard this, but a few years ago, I recall reading or hearing that the Small Caps will drop before the S&P 500 when we are moving in cycle towards a bear market. Maybe someone else knows more and can clarify on that. I am not saying we are entering a bear market, but I understand there is rotation that starts to occur. Best Wishes to you in the 2022!

    I've heard that too DB. the theory being small caps are more sensitive to negative (downward cycle) environments and pivot more quickly.

    I was listening to a podcast with Harry Dent who mentioned that. Take it for what its worth.
