Cowboy, much thanks! I intend to experiment a bit and get a good feel of how to calculate personal returns and then I'll relax and monitor only on a yearly or quarterly basis. I really appreciate all...

Thanks rokid! I'll give it a try:)

Thanks, Cowboy! Your advice is well-taken. I do understand the possible pitfalls of daily monitoring, but I thought it would help me to monitor it for a while to see what the actual return of my...

Woweee WonderWoman! Thanks for all that. I guess the guys were too shy to do it themselves. Nevertheless, it is the thought that counts.:u

Mr. Wheels (Dave), are you saying that my calculation is valid...except, of course, for figuring in the non-trading days? Thanks for your response.:)

One more try...If I'm way off base here, then all of you can at least give me a bit of credit and marvel at the fact that someone so dense could have the sense to save money at all:) I do not have...

Okay, I'm sure I'm an idiot, but what I'm getting at is this. With my VanGuard accounts, I get a simple indication of the % that my account yielded, regardless of how I reallocated them. They just...

:dah: Hey, regarding a long-term buy/hold scenario, is there an "easy" way to track your portfolio's % performancewithout having to do a lot of monitoring and calculating of each individual fund?I...

:dah:Do you mean like VanGuard? I mean, after retirement, (excuse me I've had too much wine this evening)...but do you mean that after retirement it would be best to roll over into something like a...

:shock:

It's shocking to me how you can ask a valid question such as yours and then the message thread seems to get off on the most miniscule point in your post.....in your case....the firefox...

Okay guys, gals, forgive me for my doofus question. However, I've enjoyed the thread that my question has generated. I'm just a dumb blond afterall...hehe. Be patient with me.

I'm 44, fantasizing that I can retire at 55 which would be as soon as I'd be eligible in my case. If I were to end up with (worse case scenario) $450,000. in my TSP at age 55, wouldn't that be enough...

Tom, I'm going to stick with you on this and try to get a feel for the market by shuffling and watching. I've never done this before. I'm on vacation this week and I've been able to watch the website...

:?Concerning Tom's current recommended allocation (G-40, C-60), considering that stocks are expected to badly all week, why is this wiser than going all into G until things start looking up? I'm...

:h

Are you saying I'm mentally deficient? That's okay, but explain the toothpaste back into the tube thing, please.

I get it Spaf, but don't you see???...I'm not at ease with ANY scenario. It's just my personality I guess....one that cannot be pegged. I'm not satisfied with any investment scenario. How can I...

I get frustrated always hearing the disclaimers and the jabber about one's "risk tolerance". But that is the norm whether on this site or just simply talking with a trusted friend about market...

:i

GREAT! So then why wouldn't I want to always have my cont-allocations (at least for the next few years) going ONLY to stocks or maybe just into the C-fund. Currently I have my cont-allocations...

Okay. Let me see if I'm still understanding. Ifa person hasat least $100,000 in TSP, is contributing the max,and hasat least 10 years to go, I'm assuming that is what you'd consider a...

:^

My gosh, I don't know how I missed that. I guess I once knew and just forgot it or something....at least I hope I did. I'm a dim-bulb about all this but I've done okay I guess to know so...

:'

GeezZZzzz....No, Rolo, that is very clearnow.Thanks for clearing that up. I had been under the impression that all my TSP contributions "were" taxed, upfront as part of my gross income,and then...

:dah:Hi Rolo. Thanks for the response! Now, this is probably a great big "duh!!!" but, if I understand you correctly, you are agreeing that my TSP/ROTH strategy is a good one......yes? ...or do I...

Hello to all. This site was a great find for me! :)

:?Now, I'd like to describe my situation and hope someone can tell me where I may be going wrong or if I'm possibly on the right track.

My...
