Investment gurus?
In general I don't have much belief that a person can predict the stock market, not even financial gurus. When I read this from Marketwatch I became somewhat disappointed in the "journalism" as the graph that was included had some major problems:

Check out the 2000/1 and 2008 bubble that was not predicted.
What does this article prove? That once again timing the market is a very, very difficult task.
Enjoy,
Me

No one can predict the market. But, I like to look at 2008 as a bad year. Then all the years after it.

Not to toot my own horn, but I have predicted the market consistently well over the years: I buy equities, they fall; I sell equities, they rise.

Re: Investment gurus?
TSPcenter can't predict day to day, but can arrange that all funds will have zero returns from yesterday. How cool if you lose a few percent and then just erase it. Sweet.

Re: Investment gurus?
You noticed. I wonder how long it will take to be fixed.
Re: Investment gurus?
Yeah, but if you go to the tsp.gov website you see that they haven't posted yesterday's share prices yet. Is that odd? I seriously asking because I don't know.

It's a little after 4:00 CST, TSP fund prices are posted. Everything but G Fund is down in price so update is overstated for 3/8

Re: Investment gurus?
The zero's are fixed. Thx guys we're up to date. Not too shabby for a cost free opportunity to hone one's investing skills. I appreciate you.

I agree, but what about our TSP performance leaders on this site? I like the 360 day leaders list, (http://tspcenter.com/listTop.php?mode=1 ... =&pageID=1)
I’m going out on a limb, and say that 96-98% of them are probably leaning the wrong way right now.
Speaking of that, DAMAN3183 should have more watchers.
You gave me an idea for another thread, something I have been thinking about for a while.
