James, Thanks for the update. This is still unacceptable. This change should have been back-tested enough that the switchover to the new system could be implemented over the Memorial Day weekend. I...

Well so far for the month we have had 10 trading days. For the "C" fund it has been 4 positive days and 6 negative. For the "S" fund it has been 5 and 5. Unfortunately, the red days have been worse...

Realistically the system should be down from Friday the 27th at noon and up and running by 9:30am Tuesday the 31st. That doesn't put any of our accounts in jeopardy.

Not to panic you, but that is assuming we can still make an IFT on Monday, May 16th. The FRTIB has been very vague on what will happen on the 16th and the 26th.

Only picked up about a third of what was lost yesterday. Hoping we don't see a big negative swing tomorrow.

Great so what do you do when your account is down 6 figures? Try and ride out a bear market that can make it worse, hope you can slowly recover or lick your wounds and take the loss before your...

I wish I was at a minus 3.5 or even a minus 5. :angryfire:

Is it May 26th after 12 noon or the whole day we can't do anything? If it's all day on the 26th a lot can happen over 2 to 6 days of trading in the market that we can't control our accounts. That's...

I hope sooner than later. I'm so far down the rabbit hole I just need a few green days in a row to give me some confidence. Nothing big, 1/2% here or 3/4% there. Don't get me wrong I would be...

To me it seems incompetent that the FRTIB would take away access to our accounts for at least a week. I can think of a few scenarios, good and bad, that could have a real large impact on our...

Well, it's official. My TSP is down a third from my high point on 11/8/2021. I haven't been this low since November 2020. If I get out now, it's a loss.
I turn 70 the end of the month and I...

To all the Mom's and Grandma's, Happy Mother's Day

Yep it really sucked. The first three trading days gave us a little hope. Today took it all back and then some.

Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 04/30/2022 is -18.75%. ;damnit

BRIEF TIME!!! A lot can happen in 3 to 7 days in the stock market.

Now I admit I haven't gone on the TSP site to see what is going on. This has to do with transferring money in your account not IFT's correct?

I'm not into bourbon, but I find myself drinking an extra can or two of beer once in a while. Of course, at my age that poses another problem in the middle of the night. 54235

At least the "S" fund wasn't the worst over the last 15 and 60 days. 54228

Sorry, had to find someone else to feel my pain.

It's almost like; if it looks like, smells like and taste like it must be......

Not sure what happened around 3 o'clock but I'll take it. :banana:

I'm going with "or what". Depends and sticky pants on and an extra dose of Dramamine. Yep, bring it on.

Classic. Thanks DBA. Can't get away with those kinds of cartoons today.
