Thanks James. I think I will dedicate a full commentary to this one of these days when stocks get quiet again. I think more people need to be made aware of this, perhaps well intention-ed change that the TSP made in 2008, that actually increased costs (doubled since 2007) when they took our unlimited transfers away.

That is exactly DOUBLE the administrative cost as it was in the years when we had unlimited trades. (2006 and 2007 is when we had unlimited trades, and many of us did three or four trades in a month at times.)

This figure is found on the Annual TSP statement form available when you log into your account.
