"Our Performance" has disappeared from the "What We do" pull-down menu.

Interesting...the plot thickens.

"UPDATE"
Below is the explanation from GMTSP Admin

"Their formula included the performance on the day of the Alert. An unacceptable mistake from both their perspective and mine. KIS is recreating their original spreadsheet with the correct inputs.
We have taken down the Performance page on our site. We will bring it back online once we have the new performance data in hand."

Seems like an honest mistake, My faith is restored for now. On their podcasts they really seem like good guys just trying to educate and help fellow veterans and civil servants.

Yes, I agree they seem to be very well meaning guys. It will be interesting to see what their performance metrics are with the corrected inputs. Could you share it here once it is back up online?

[jackyl33]

Yes I will share it, it was public last time so we'll see.

They've been making a big deal about how great their returns have been for the year. Bet they'll be pissed at Krug and the other CFA they paid a lot to audit them.

I agree that their TA seems sound and the guy that sits on the left during the podcasts seems really astute. But something still doesn't sit well with me... how could not one, but two professional accounting/auditing firms miss the March 21 IFT mistakes?

How many CFA's does it take to calculate a TSP return?
Answer: -2

I am just blown away that this thread of you go-getters audited this service and got them to correct their numbers.

Some might call it "data shaming"

Great job, guys. Not all websites / agencies are on the up-and-up, but there's nothing wrong with legitimate sites and services offering an honest product - especially for those who don't anything more than to just put it in G or one of the L Funds. Sometimes it takes a fresh pair of eyes to show a team that they missed something. It's what they do at that point that matters, IMHO.

I wonder if someone on their staff viewed this thread and realized that it was more than just one or two individuals who were watching to see what would happen. Knowing that a group of guys from a separate TSP-focused site took the time to double check their math and was waiting to see if they would step up and make it right might have been just the thing to get them to take a closer look at their process and what they were posting.

If even one person ends up having a better retirement because they had a clearer understanding of what that site offers (whether it's a good track record or bad), that's a direct reflection of your efforts and attention to detail.

You guys did a good thing.

Remember always.. “Trust…but verify”
Looking forward to the updated numbers to see if they match ours..

Just think if people actually critiqued all the government propaganda

In this case, the "critique" was based on analysis of the facts.
