[sticky] The FantasyTSP Jackpot Challenge For 2012
by  United States - California TSPking

New for 2012! We have a $50 Visa gift card every month for the top monthly leader demonstrating investment excellence (if there are multiple members in a tie, the gift card will be split accordingly).

The catch? We need 300 new members every month. We have a generous member who approached me about this concept and is pony'ng up the $50 Visa gift cards under the condition that TSP Center grows by 300 members per month. That's only 10 members per day. If we dont reach 300 members for a given month...the jackpot is reduced to $25.

We also are accepting PayPal donations to up the ante and allow for additional appreciation for our top performers.

Let the competition begin!

Making the Best Use of TSPcenter
by  United States jbirdway | 1 Comment

Hi all,

New member here. I would really appreciate some tried and true advice and tips from some of you experienced vets on how to make the most use of the info on this site. I'm about 10 years from retirement, and am currently 100% in the L2020 fund. Yes, I could just leave it alone and hope for the best, but I keep getting this nagging feeling that I could be doing much better. I just don't know what to be looking for.

Thanks,

jbirdway

Check Out This Article...I'm just saying

The inevitable trend reversal...for folks sitting on the sidelines thinking they may jump in and catch the coat tails, OR, folks who are still in and thinking this insane upswing is going to continue swinging.

Now don't think I'm trying to start a bear stampede. I just feel it is my Du-TIE to pass the word that all isn't as rosy as it seems. You know, if you choose to view the investing landscape through rose-colored sun glasses or something.

Do ya REALLY think the market turned down today because of HOME SALES??? You know, the same depressing home sales numbers we've been seeing since about 2007. They're up; they're down...they're up; they're down. So why does it ALL OF A SUDDEN matter today? The market is LOOKING for a reason to sell-off.

And besides, as soon as you all sell off...I'll be jumping back in :lol: :lol:

by  United States MakeMe$$$$ | 2 Comments

Rep. Dennis Ross (R-FL) has introduced legislation that would increase the amount federal employees would be required to pay towards their retirement plans. HR 3813, Securing Annuities for Federal Employees Act of 2012, would also reduce pensions for new employees.

Congrads NUBI and ABC
by  United States Tomanyiron | 13 Comments

Two leaders from the past years, who are a hair away from leading the pack this year. We now have 64 people, (sorry not enough room to name you all), above 8% and the first month of 2012 is not over, (simple math 8% X 12 = 96%). It will be interesting to see what happens the rest of the year, but I wish all 64 of you continued luck. (I dont think it was luck at all, you guys stayed in when all most everyone was saying Get Out, Get Out, and Oh Get Out).
How many of you care to share what has guided you so far this year?

(More simple math, 96% + 4% = 100%)

Tracking the G fund
by  United States sludg | 1 Comment

Is there a way to track the daily progress of the G fund? I know there is no ticker symbol for it but is there a website i can see it's daily progress as the market closes or is it just best to wait until the daily update happens on here and see the move at that time?
