My neck just itched a little bit. Not a lot, just a little bit.

So I’m bailing out - moving to 90% G, and just 10% each in C and S.

Let’s see what’s happening- I’m up 6.39% for the year and...

Good. We NEED a little inflation kicking in at some point, so that G fund interest can come off its ridiculously low 1.75% return rate.

The TSP annual expense ratio USED to be much lower prior to 2008’s move to restrict TSP interfund transfers. .

Since they limited trades to two per month, TSP net annual expense costs have...

I still say political contributions should be taxed, at a very high rate.

Want to give a million dollars to a candidate- or a PAC? Why not a 50% PAC TAX?

Or a television commercial? How...

I got news for you, Rod. I’m think UP, not down.

The market isn’t going down any time soon. In fact, I think it’s going to melt UP for at least the next six months, as:

1. The new President...

Thanks for posting that!

Woo Hoo! I made it to the top 1.26% and hit the mark, thanks in part, to everybody here. I’ve learned a hell of a lot in the last 20 m+ years, including a tin since I...

Got a great deal on a 2014 Silverado. Lots of bells abs whistles, and it’s just nice to have 4WD in Michigan snow.

Congratulations on both the truck and the dog.

Dogs belong next to their human, riding in trucks. Mine lives to ride!

I bank with USAA, and this morning my account shows a $1,200 deposit overnight from the IRS. The stimulus check made it that quick.

Thank you to the IRS employees who made that happen. It’s...

Those are the stories that really scare the hell out of me. Someone sold their house, so they could dabble in options contracts???

Tesla WILL crash at some point in time. Whether it is next...

Wow! Welcome back ! Good to see you here. Just in time I think for some interesting market movements, too. It’s been running up so hard and so fast I can’t help but think there is a little drop...

So- question-

If TESLA begins to tank today, and ends up being worth, oh, say, 20 times earnings, (like a normal stock)

What would that do to the S&P500 value?

Boom!

And just like that, the markets react to:

1. A settlement finally on done kind of Congressional COVID package. (Sell on the news).

2. The UK announces big shutdown due to new Covid...

Yep. December 4, 2020, I went by the 7 figure mark. And boy, does that feel good. I let out a big sigh of relief.

Retired August 31, 2020, with 32 years of service.

Set up my first actual...

I worked for the FAA. It took six weeks after my last pay period to get my annual leave payout, and I just got my booklet yesterday- which outlines that I will get another interim pension payment in...

I’m sniffing something in the air here. Could it be that we’ve finally reached the stretched end of the upswing that’s been moving since November 3rd?

Today’s peak and decent are unlike the last...

Well, it has now been 108 days since my last day on the job.

I got the message December 10th that my pension has been finalized, but I still have NO IDEA when the real money starts.
They said...

Keep in mind that the UK only makes up 13% of the I fund's holdings, AND if the Brexit doesn't have an agreement (which appears to be the most likely scenario at this point), the pound could get...

Quick update:

Last week I had a tooth flare up. I previously had a cavity on the side of the tooth, in a location my dentist said he could not fill. It finally got infected, and became...

Update- today my services online account says “your pension has been finalized, you should receive a letter and booklet in about 7-10 days”.

But there is no information in the online portal...

I’m just floored that- as much as the market has risen over especially the last month, that even with that- we can’t seem to get a capitulation longer than a day.

How much cash did they inject...

My once a year bump- to anyone new who joined in the last year. This is a good thread to start from the beginning

This market upswing is definitely overstretched.

I'm taking a break. Up over 3% this month and we're only a few days into it. The P&F chart is screaming at me that it is rime for a rest.

so...
