Closing numbers for September 2017 and for the week.

 

September is in the books and what a month it was. Last year I had a .49% gain, which is good, but this year the markets gave me an exceptional 3% gain. I expect my PIP to pop up and over 20% come next week. Last year this time, my YTD was a negative .34% and this year, 14.65%. What to expect in October? Last year I had a 2.12% loss. 

 

Been a long time since I mentioned my actual goals for my TSP. No negative PIP, which means no loss for any 12 month period. Any gain is better than a loss, but 7% annually will take care of a 4% rule draw down and will in most cases give your account a net gain.
