I'd say it's an individual choice. Personally, if I had a nice gain by mid-month, I would strongly consider a move to G to capture that gain. Ive been sticking to my strategy regardless of market fluctuations this season. I was ahead of C and S by as much as 4 percent before the summer. Then the st...

For August 2019 Last chance to move: Wednesday, 31 July before noon EST For this coming August, the individual funds have performed on average as follows: G Fund Since 1988: 0.41% Last 20 years: 0.30% Last 10 years: 0.19% Last 5 years: 0.19% August is arguably the second best month for the G Fund. ...

Stick to your plan and ignore the tweets, the best investors ignore the noise and look at the data.

Thank you for the update! Not a bad year so far all around! I'm having a phenomenal year so far with a slight offshoot of gclappers mix.

Getting out this afternoon. I'll take my 20% on the year. Any idea if King is going to retroactively fix the transfers that were missed during the outage? I looked at your fantasy TSP (dunno if it reflects your actual). Why would you be getting out now, happy with 20%, when you're still down going ...

Very nice! I'm still in the C fund 100% with my personal account (according to strategy #25727, a monthly strategy). It's up a handsome 18.03% and beating buy and hold by just under 4.25%!

I follow #25727 (a monthly seasonal) and have been for the last year with my personal account. It's beating buy and hold this calendar year by almost 2.53%!

Interesting nugget I found today when checking my TSP. The monthly seasonal strategy I follow with my personal account (see signature) is up 18.38% which would be leading the member returns here on this website (if these are up to date). Anyways, stuck to the strategy during the huge dip last year. ...

Good Morning All, FY2020-2025: Increase to employee pension by 1% each year through 2025, roughly 77$ a year increase. Reduction from the government side. This is a big negative from me. I might be wrong, but weren't these contributions going to be 1% a year for folks who were contributing the lowe...

This is why I don't bother keeping contribution and transfer funds separate. I'm already a monthly oriented trader with a seasonal strategy so to me the slight gains aren't worth a potential slip or the hassle to try to time the market and roll funds on the sidelines over.

Good luck, lesson learned.

If bernie were to ever win the election, the G fund would be a home for 4 years. I'd bet against that, and it wouldn't be for political reasons, it'd be for common sense reasons. The white house doesn't have as much as an influence on the market as we like to think it does to satisfy whatever polit...

Yup.... It's how casinos make money!

I forgot to mention another observation which has to do with our progressive tax structure. Under traditional, every income I defer comes from my highest tax bracket. Assuming no other income, when I pull from TSP in retirement, the amount I draw starts from the lowest tax bracket. This is a great ...

Congratulations, I'm sure your example will be the grounds which people make life changing decisions. Or....perhaps everyone has a investment strategy that works best for them and they should spend due diligence learning about various options. Anyhow, congratulations. Glad we could have a good debat...
