I was hoping that we would end this week with a .5 or 1% up move but it was not to be. But what is truly incredible is that after one complete year that the S&P500 had a Zero gain and ended within .04 cent from where it started. I guess we should count our blessing because if you look at the European index it was crushed with a 15% loss. It looks like the place to be for the year was bonds which proves there is always somewhere to make money.
I will make another post on the markets and where we are in the next post, but next weekly will be a little different in that I will also include the TSP funds report per fund. You will see the starting point below.
I’m sure your interested in where I ended the year in my TSP and according to my raw data, I should have ended the year between 0 and a .82% loss. Right now, the TSP website is reporting this: Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) could not be calculated because monthly account balances for the entire year were unavailable. So once it is updated, I will post it. To start the new year, I will remain with my last setup. 50-50 C an S. Also in case you missed it, they upped our contributions maximum to $17,000 which is a $500 increase. Catch-up deposits remain the same at $5500.
Now let’s hope for a year that is just a little more stable.
