Over the past few years it seemed to me that Sarah was hoping to transition "TSP Strategy" to a self-managed group.
As much as she eschewed market timing, I wonder if it bothered her that many in the group waited anxiously to copy her exact moves at the exact same time, and be willing to do so even with little or no supporting rationale.
I wonder if Sarah's early strategy of making multiple moves per year, often with some supporting commentary might have led some to rely on her personal opinion more than she wanted for the group.
Rather than wait with bated breath for news of her next pending move, I saw her encouraged others to do their own reseach and share their findings and recommendations. Over time a few in the group have stepped up to do just that. Much appreciated of course.
Recall that Sarah's early public TSP strategy gradually morphed from several moves per year to one move or less per year most recently. And then only 100% S or 100% G, and never any mix of funds. She pointed out at least once that the problem with exiting 100% equities on a specific date became deciding exactly when to reenter the maket.
Well, trying to time to market with 100% moves becomes increasingly risky the more your TSP balance grows.
Based on historical performance, I truly believe Sarah thought 100% S was probably the best life long term TSP strategic position for her and just about everyone. Especially for those who don't want to do their own research from multiple independent sources, or pay for any fiduciary advice on such an important investment as the TSP is many of us.
Holding only one fund at a time and making 100% moves was never a strategy that I was comfortable with, other than 100% G in times like this.
Last week I sent an email to Sarah at the the address she used back when she started TSP Strategy Yahoo Group. Just wanted to hear if she is okay and wish her well. The email didn't bounce, but I've received no response yet either.
So, thanks to Sarah for doing all she did to get this group up and running years ago while asking very little in return. Perhaps her personal strategic transition for this group is complete.
