BT,

I'll be looking forward to your description of the details tomorrow. :^

Steve

Asian,

At some point I'd like to get into S and I, however, I wanted to get the most sharesthat I possibly could in equities and to build those shares up. If the market loses some steam Aug/Sep...

I'm following BT's lead. I went 100%C 13 July and I've committed to stay at least until Jan 06. Now that I'm paying attention to the market I will have a harder time staying in the saddle.Before...

Yes, you are correct in your concern. First of all, as all members would agree is that none of us are professionals, so in the end our comments are only opinions and that we each need to make an...

Oh! one more thing. I would have liked to have gotten into S andI funds with about 20% each, but I took BT's recommendation on that too and bought more sharesby going allC. :^

GAWGA,

I'm not new to TSP, but I'm certainly wet behind the ears when it comes to watching my account. I've made at least 14 IFTs since April 18, before taking BT's advice and went 100%C at 13.19...

WW,

That's inspirational, there's still hope for me :DOh! thanks for the protection too (in another thread).

Dave,

I just realized I hadsent a response to your loan question. No big deal. I just feel awkard since I've never participated in any kind of a chat room before, which I think that is what this...

stebbins777, I hope you don't mind my tagging on to your thread. But I wanted to ask BT a couple of other (probably dumb) questions about being 100% into the C-fund.

BT, The 4-parts that you...

I agree with Mike wholeheartedly. 2000-2002 would have been a good time to borrow, but I borrowed 13k in 2003, just when equities were making a comeback. I borrowed so that I could put 20% down on my...

BT,

I'm on board. :)I'm 100% C as of yesterday 7/7. By the way what do I need to do tostart an allocation page?

Hey Tech,

I've got you and everyone in Dennis's path in my prayers. I just made a PCS to Italy, in January,from east Tampa, FL. Last year it got real old by the end of...

Grandma,

I whole heartedly agree that this is a flagrant misinterpretation of the original intent of the 5th amendment. It was never intended for private use, regardless if the transfer would...

AMEN!

BT,

Yes, I believe I'll hang in the C to buy shares. I'm trying to decide if I should combine my 15% S & 15% I to one or the other for a 30% total in one fund. I looked for your account talk on...

BT,

I just made an IFT and allocations change today for 70-C, 15-S and 15-I. I noticed where you've said that as a beginner you'd load up on two funds: C&I. You had also commented that you have...

You said to let your allocation do the dollar cost averaging and to leave your allocations steady even if you bale. Are you moving your interfund transfers evenly with your...

Ok, I understand the hands off mindless six-months approach.

If I may take this a step further with this question.

What's the advantage, I assume that there is one, if a person with about 6000...

BT,

Actually, I did one hitch with the AF, 3380th FMS, hurricane hunters, at Keesler AFB just after the draft ended. I squeezed under the wire for the GI bill, after a few years I decided to take...

Aggie76, Your explanation is crystal clear, and Dogdaddy, that's correct 14,000 this year.

I'm a little confused now. :shock:My LES says 15% TSP, Gov will match up to 5%.

IRS Limit is 15k.

I thought that I'd read somewhere if I go over the IRS 15k limit then I could lose matching...

Hey Birch,



Thanks for your input. I knew you’d come through. When I’ve read your post in the past and you talk about being the only one left outside of the bear cave/G-fund, I want to jump...
