Please be specific

Watch out for what?

In my 38+ years in the markets, the overall markets prefer stability not chaos and uncertainty 

People who honor contracts

People of honor running things

So to be specific, watch out for honest people honoring contracts, market stability, believing in science and technology and growth for all peoples in the future where everyone prospers

You might try simply graphing with simple moving averages the S, C, F, I and G funds

over the range of the TSP and look at the gains and losses

If you want to go back further the ticker symbol for S is DWCPF and the C is the S&P500 and just look at the actual numbers of the actual data and what was going on around then

Go back further, the markets reaction to Eisenhower's heart attack 

Markets fluctuate but prefer stability not random chaos

Right now we seem to be in the beginning of a vast change away from finite polluting fossil fuels to clean much less expensive renewables for roughly the next 20 years

Look at a picture of the Easter parade in NYC in 1901.

 All Horse drawn carriages and 1 car

Same vantage point in 1913,

 _All_ cars except one horse drawn carriage.

C fund is S&P 500. 

There is a reason companies are in the S&P 500, think for a moment what that is

S fund DWCPF Dow Jones completion index

growth 

Go back and look at the graphs you made of 10-20 years of those 5 funds in the TSP

Are there blips? Yes obviously 

BUT

What is the slope, a linear regression line, what your eyes tell you even

Can you even see the G fund line by the way?

What funds prospered overall?

How much time do you have before withdrawals 

I seriously dislike FUD,

 "fear, uncertainty, doubt"

Give cogent reasons why, not FUD for changes like "watch out, the boogy man will get you, ghosts and shadows to fear"

Rationality and reasons 

Markets fluctuate things take time to recover what are your time horizons and needs

Merry Christmas happy Hanukkah happy holidays 

Spring is coming

We might move to the G fund, as well, by year's end, just to be on the safe side.
