As a newbie, just curious as to where I might find good information on what to look for as far as a "signal" to buy or sell. I noticed somebody had wrote that when the S&P hit 1280 (or somewhere near that) to do something. Think this may be good info for all those new to TSP, as well as anyone who doesn't have a good background with this.

Please consider moving the IFT cutoff time for FantasyTSP to 12:15 or 12:30. This will give people like me who wait to the very last minute (~11:55 am) when making an IFT at tsp.gov enough time to get our IFT entered in FantasyTSP.

Great site with Great info. I just joined up and will tell the guys at work about this site. Very helpful information. Thanks.

These 3 equities choices combined with two trades a month is really insufficient to react to the market. On December 21 1998 the S&P 500 was 1202.84. Right now it is 1265.62 That is a whopping 5.22% gain in almost 10 years. The price right now is 235 points below the March 22 2000 close which is a 15.66% loss in 8.5 years.

Can you imagine that in 10 years from today you will have made an additional whopping 5.22% for 10 years worth of investment or a loss? It could happen with a buy and hold or dollar cost averaging strategy. I get the feeling we are being played for suckers and the trade limits were the last straw. I am working with a bunch of folks who were planning on retiring but now can’t. I myself have at least 20 to go.

I am looking for the next bubble, the place where folks will place their money. Oil is popping as it had too. Almost all of those oil contracts were bough by folks who could not take delivery of oil so it was inevitable they would have to dump them or walk away and since they put so little down. Any thoughts on what it will be?

I am going to see the documentary IOUSA which is showing at special events around the country Thursday night, take a look http://www.agorafinancial.com/iousa.html If anyone else goes let me know what you think.

Was wondering how many members here use the FantasyTSP allocations in conjunction with actual TSP account allocations. For the record, I mirror this site's allocations to my actual TSP account allocations. However, I've been told some members play it safer with their own accounts and play "what-if" scenarios with their FantasyTSP. I thought it would be interesting to know how some of you use the site's features. Thanks!
