Re: [TSPStrategy] FWIW: What I am doing.

I watch a couple of other financial videos. And what they are saying is that until the Fed signals that inflation starts to drop they will continue to raise interest rates. So we might be getting a bounce but the trend is still down. But maybe the bottom is in, but likely to be tested again. In...

Re: [TSPStrategy] FWIW: What I am doing.

Dave,The point that you bring up is already what I understand. The dollar is easy; meanwhile, the mapping of that (+ gold) onto bitcoin is not straightforward. In my opinion, this has little to do with the infancy of bitcoin. One can start with what it is, in an ideal sense, to bypass practical software...

Re: [TSPStrategy] FWIW: What I am doing.

Tex;Thank you for your thoughtful  and informative response. I am thinking that the market is down so much that I want to buy into C and S very soon. I hopefully don't need to take much out of the TSP except for RMD because of my age, so hopefully enough time to increase the stocks value.HerbOn...

Re: [TSPStrategy] FWIW: What I am doing.

Tex, Not sure if you were being sarcastic but by no means were you intruding. I welcome opinions and value them greatly as I'm no investment expert. I just have been lucky to have had the opportunity to land a great paying job with the federal government coming from humble origins and making...

Re: [TSPStrategy] FWIW: What I am doing.

It comes down to how much money one needs in order to live and to life expectancy, along with possibly supporting dependents. So that is actually...

Re: [TSPStrategy] FWIW: What I am doing.

Thanks Tex. I wish I could put every cent I have but I have a family to support, nevertheless, I am putting $1k per pay period which is a decent amount. We also have a paid of vacation home in the NM mountains worth around $300k which includes a newly built smaller cabin shell waiting...

Re: [TSPStrategy] FWIW: What I am doing.

Well it's nice to hear that everything is going to be ok by next February. Nobody really knows but it's comforting to hear. This prediction also calls for the market to continue falling until October and then recovering by February. https://on.mktw.net/3O3zylMCheck out this article from MarketWatch...
