Re: Retirement plan Help!

Yes, I'm sort of waiting for that too, so around 60 to 70% of my cash is sidelined in a money market fund and some in BOXX (awesome fund by the way!). While I'm missing out on the 20% gains, I do enjoy looking at the "sure" thing of 5% or more until that does happen. I saw a thing recentl...

Re: TSPCalc

Yes, I was looking for the highest mean for 2023, but I don't understand why it's reporting 92443 has the highest mean when 173584 is higher (4.13%). https://i.postimg.cc/3rtDnMyp/2023-01-10-12-03-22.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/CLW5QwwZ/2023-01-10-12-03-58.jpg https://tspcalc.com/seasonal.php?years=23-...

TSPCalc

I was checking out Tspcalc and did a search for the highest mean of 2023. It reported strategy 92443 with the highest mean of 4.00%. I then checked the mean of strategy 173584 and it reported 4.13%. Am I missing something? https://tspcalc.com/seasonal.php?years=23-23&sortdir=desc&sortby=avg ...

Re: For TLT or Options Traders, does this strategy make sens

YTD return of TLT as of 3/31/2020 is 22%. Definitely deflation. Harry Browned recommended as part of the Permanent Portfolio, which has saved me from this crash.

Submitted IFT not able to be changed on a holiday after noon

If an IFT is made before 12:15 on a holiday, it can't be changed after 12:15 in the FantasyTSP like it can on the tsp.gov website? TSP.gov lets one initiate/change an IFT until noon on the day after the holiday. Am I correct?

Matters to me too. I'm with TSP Jedi.

Plus, why does it matter whether one wants to pair their fantasy account with their real account?

Re: Resetting fantasy tsp for 2019

My fantasy account is missing the 2018 YTD returns. Is anyone else's like this?

My balance includes 2018 numbers.

Re: 2018 Strength and Market Pull

TspGuru (position 10) is 100% F. Tommie I took a look at the Leader Board. Did you know the first gamer 100% something other than the G Fund is number 187? And the dramatic drop off in percentile ytd gain is astonishing. What does this mean for seasonal calc investors? Have all their TSP contributio...

Re: Choosing between a Roth vs. Traditional TSP / IRA

I max out my Regular TSP ($18,500) and Catchup ($6,000). All mine goes into Traditional since it reduces my state tax burden while I'm working in Maryland. I will not make any withdrawals until I get settled in my retirement state of Florida which does not have a state income tax. This week I will ...

Re: Wahoo! Daily Seasonal is rockin’! Don’t call it a comeba

Veterans Day was a trading day I believe. Just not a TSP day. Both days were combined for the returns on the 13th. From what I can tell, the price was based on November 13 and not a combination of the two unless the closing price for Nov. 13 was calculated to include Nov. 12's closing price? From T...

Re: Retired and taking TSP monthly withdrawl

You could fill out a 1040 as if it's the end of the year. I usually input the numbers into TurboTax for the upcoming year to try to estimate as close as possible. I then adjust the withholding to match whatever amount of taxes I anticipate I'll owe for that year.
