Emotional IFT

[Koastiek]

Hey, ProduceMan, I'm just getting back to reviewing the site. DipidityDoDancer (jlozano042) LOL was correct. I was in S, freaked, dropped to G, cussed a lot, and then stayed out. I then found #31312 with a low standard deviation and thought to myself, "Self, that looks good. Let's try it." However, the market is soooooooooo high, I'm leery.

Have a great day, everyone.

No worries - at least you just freaked and cussed a lot. I passed out and threw up all over myself .... and i stayed in that state for a few weeks which may have saved my @ss.

This makes no sense to me. Did an IFT on 3/15 before noon, included moving all I-funds to other funds. The I fund share price at the end of 3/15 was higher than 3/14 but the activity summary (choosing dates 3/14 to 3/15) shows a negative amount in the gain/loss column for I fund.

I fund share price 3/14 = 30.8974
I fund share price 3/15 = 30.9375

The activity summary calculates 2 day return. Can't get a 1 day return. Look at beginning balance...it will be from 2 days ago

This is probably the top question I hear about TSP at work. And you answered it perfectly.

Seawatcher, I believe the beginning balance in activity summary is 2 Jan 18. About your negative situation, was the number on 3/15 a smaller negative number? You probably did some contributions or IFTs prior to 3/15 that were higher in price.
