I hope that you got your question answered. I only check the forum sporadically when I'm away from my desk.

Everything is so good presently. Thanks for asking, but I was just piling on this thread that had a "time" theme.

Reducing exposure for the first week of the new admin., as I know a lot of speeches are about to be given. Going 80% G and 20% S at COB today.

That's right. I noticed on my own chart after commenting here. Weird.

Shouldn't yesterday's candle be green? I thought the S Fund finished up 1% yesterday.

The time is short, O who can tell
How short his time below may be?
Today on earth his soul may dwell,
Tomorrow in eternity.

I was asked if I follow a plan, and said this:



I will add this, and I'm basically saying this based on the action we've observed in the last year: I plan to be very aggressive, as in 100% S or...

I think the second part of Rod's post has a lot of merit: be on your toes and have a plan to make a safe exit when the market turns. And...it will turn eventually. Sooner or later is anybody's guess.

I mean, there’s only so much a park ranger can do from his living room [emoji849]

I think it was silly to defer the tax for government employees that have not missed a paycheck. Got two months I was paid to just sit at home.

After two days of wheat appears to be serious strength in the S Fund, I've decided to go from 25% S, 75% G to 100% S as of COB. Either I'll catch a break, or the old ways will have returned that saw...

Yea, it's confusing to me too. I had read that if the democrats take control the market would tank by 10% or more.

I think she has died this time for real :disappointed:

We’re raising two of our grandkids, so I can always put extra money to work. I just hate that it’s being taken from them in the first place. The national debt WILL matter eventually. Debt is not...

I reduced to 25% S and may regret not getting out completely, but for the same reason the market may be down even further tomorrow, it could just as easily go up. Nobody can predict that primary...

Because, perhaps, the goal is not really about helping people.

Yes, indeed. Congratulations especially to the top 50 with those incredible returns and to anyone else that came from way, way back to actually have a positive return. What a crazy year!

Sparky...

No, I do not. But, I read everyone’s comments here, I watch the news closely and I try and follow trends if I’m lucky enough to identify them.

There’s enough folks on here that are much more...

I finished in the top 30 this year and am beyond grateful. Who would have guessed that I could best a 43% return from where we stood in March? Not me. Anyway, you know how I feel. The glory doesn’t...

Mine was deposited just a little before 0700 this morning.

Making a post-stimulus safety move today. Going 25% S and 75% G until 1st of the year. It's been a good one for me, although the gap between me and the number one tracker spot is better than 60%!...

In an article that mentions some of the same things you say, I also saw someone quoted that said there’s no reason current vaccines would not be effective on this new strain as well. So, I’m choosing...

If I sell back annual leave in conjunction with retirement, do they hold out a portion of that payment for the designated TSP allotment percentage as they do with my regular pay? Technically, I'd...

Hats off to Sparky714. He broke the 100% ceiling!!!!!

OK, now that there’s been a little pullback in the S Fund, I’ll be needing all of you to buy the S Fund tomorrow so that it’ll push up again. We have to keep this going through December....
