[TSPStrategy] Black Swan suggested on this board

Oh, in my opinion, we are having a black swan event, but I think that it is the pandemic.

However, I also believe that the recent trading in GME and others and the social upheaval that we have experienced over the last 10 years are indicating a major societal sea change brought on by the Internet and accelerating digital technology. The latest element is the influence of social media, but that is just the beginning.

If we need more market regulation, my preference would be to have all participants be subject to exactly the same rules so that the big players cannot dictate rule changes to pull themselves out of the fire. Admittedly things have been crazy lately, but I do not like to see trading halted so that the short sellers can avoid paying the full price of their lack of discipline. Short selling (and trading in general) incurs risks, and having rules about when to close out a position is a requirement for those who want to pile on to a company in trouble. To be honest, I feel that the short sellers who lost big in GME (and the other similar stocks) were simply idiots. Closing out a position for a moderate loss is part of the trading activity. Massive losses as a result of unforgivable errors is unfortunately how we learn things. Even Jesse Livermore learned some things to ensure that he could trade again in the future.

Please forgive the rant. However, I believe that we are living a massive Black Swan event and have been for the past year. This will continue to spawn weird events like the GME situation.

Good luck,
Tex

[TSPStrategy] A simplified view of the stock market

A simplified view of the stock market:

Instead of stock shares, think of it like buying a used car.
You buy a good used car for $10,000 and think what a great deal you got. Later that day, a stranger admires your car, but tells you the car is really only worth $5,000. You start to wonder about the deal you got.

A few days later, a family member notices a small bend and discoloration of the sheet metal. He suspects the car has been wrecked and that is why you got a good deal. It can't be worth more than $2,500.

The next week your work colleague goes to lunch with you and says your car is making a noise. You cannot hear a thing. Now you are worried about the sheet metal, the paint, the engine noise, and the future value of the car.

Your "friend" offers you $500 for the car. You worry that the car will soon be worthless, so you take the 500.

Ten years later, your "buddy" is still driving that same car.

Stock quotes go up and down, but you don't have to buy or sell at those prices. Dips in the market are usually short term. Much shorter than the bull market runs.

Re: [TSPStrategy] The Recent 'Shorting' Headlines

If hedge funds have to de-leverage longs to cover the shorts, it will affect the whole Market therefore TSP funds as well.

I'd rather be in relatively safe G fund.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think any of the TSP funds are the types of funds that would short stocks. Many people consider that gambling instead of investing (although there are some that consider investing in stocks to be nothing more than gambling).

In other words, I would think that reddit bros attacking the type of hedge funds that engage in high risk investing like shorting stocks (and manipulating individual stocks to make this more profitable) is likely not going to affect any of the TSP funds very much, if at all.

Re: [TSPStrategy] What about GameStop?

there is a lot of speculation the answer is _yes_

(see another comment)

the shorts had to "de-gross"

ie: sell a bunch of their long holdings to meet margin calls, do de-risking by covering other shorts they needed funds for etc so they reduced both their long and short positions causing the entire market to tank.

Re: [TSPStrategy] The Recent 'Shorting' Headlines and GME

A children's book explanation of what's happening:

1. If you are "smart money" you are allowed to take your $1 and leverage it up to $15+

2. You can now buy $15 of stock AND if you promise to short companies, you can short $15 of stock as well
3. In finance language, this means that you are $30 "gross" ($15 of longs + $15 of shorts) but $0 net (+$15 of longs -$15 of shorts). This makes everyone feel good because it feels like you are taking zero risk...but in reality, your $1 is exposed to $30 of risk.
4. Now you go around and tell your friends about both your longs and your shorts and when you do it at a restaurant vs on Reddit, its called an "ideas dinner".

5. You also publish your longs on a quarterly lag via an SEC rule. You don't have to tell anyone about your shorts.
6. Now the less cool people who weren't invited to the ideas dinners, start copying your longs based on your report.

7. You realize that publicizing your shorts is also a good idea so instead of only selling stocks, you also BUY options (puts) which has to be reported.
8. Now everyone can see both your longs and your shorts and if you have a hot hand, you can likely predict that the cool people from the dinner as well as the less cool people monitoring your filings will copy you.

9. But then an outsider notices that the math is way off!
10. Apparently, some of these shorts that you own represent more than 100% of the entire stock of the company. Huh?

11. So he grabs his chicken fingers and champagne and buys, starts a massive short squeeze.

12. Other's see what's happening and they jump in.
13. Now a massive short squeeze starts. You have to cover your shorts ASAP. But the banks also notice that you don't have enough credit to cover the $30 they lent you and ask for more collateral. You now also have to sell your long positions. It looks like this:
14. What happens next is that a cascade of short covering and long selling starts driving some stocks to the moon and others way down. Which stocks went up? Basically the ones that were the most heavily shorted by you and your buddies in the first place.

So the outsider won?
It's not clear. You and your buddies are strong, rich and have a lot of influence so you need to do whatever you can to keep the rules in your favor.

Maybe the SEC will ask for an open inquiry?

Maybe Congress will hold hearings?

[TSPStrategy] The Recent 'Shorting' Headlines

Forgive my ignorance. When it comes to The Stock Market I have the IQ of yeast.

In some of the forums where I lurk, the recent hedge fund screwing is being celebrated- with MANY calling to figure out other ways to "Bankrupt the Rich" via Stock Market attacks. I've pointed out that the vast majority of people owning stocks are average paycheck-to-paycheck people, and that attacks against The Market will hurt average people. Of course my comments are sneered at.

But my question is this- Are our TSP assets safe if indeed anti-wealth crusaders figure out additional plots to disrupt The Market?

I'm still on the sidelines holding in G watching how the S continues to climb.

I'm tempted in moving some funds into S but according to Murphy's law, as soon as I do that the S will go into a free fall.

Wondering if I should take the risk or if the current trend will not hold.

By the way, I'm eligible to retire in about a year and 7 months at the ripe age of 51.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

JP

At least we don't lose anything by sitting in G. Less stress too for however long we stay. Now I can concentrate a little better on my cabin addition project. Looking to retire there in less than two years.

I checked my PIP yesterday and it was 24.31% for 2020. Nowhere near last year's 39.38% but not too bad considering 2020 was tumultuous.

I'm happy!

Thanks,

JP

Usually the market reacts to negative news. My husband said I trade too much, this market is crazy. All I hear is about his Bitcoin stocks!!!

Timing the market is very very hard.

Seems like the S still has some steam. I moved to G a few days before the group thinking it was time to lock in gains. Now I'm not so sure. Didn't think the S had any more room to go.

Thanks,

The plan is still in G fund for now?

But Scott's strategy makes a lot of sense to me too.
