Re: Le Sigh
you're speaking for all of us who are in the C and S funds.... Also, I had a year worth of contributions when 2008 happened. Basically, my balance was ~4k for a year while I was contributing, I was getting hammered for -30%......... It recovered over the next few years, then 2015 took a nice hit as well... Ebbs and flows .. Just keep contributing and follow a reputable strategy, your balance will grow!

I've only been contributing 5% plus matching for 2 years so I don't have a lot invested yet and my gains have only been small. It's still disappointing to see what little gains were there diminished and my account balance moving backward!
Why are your gains gone? According to your Fantasy TSP your still up. Do you mean your contributions which were made at higher stock prices this year have dragged your total return down?
If that's the case, don't worry about it. That will change as your TSP account grows and they make up a smaller percentage as time goes by.
