It's funny to see the numbers going up and down by more on a daily basis than I put in every two weeks. I have, however, gotten nervous enough about the economy over the last ~6 months or so that my current distribution is something like 65% treasuries, 20% foreign equity fund, 10%S+P and 5% Wilshire 4500. But at some level, the option is either save or don't. I had a nice, round amount of money in there for about a day or two before it started cascading downward. <BR/><BR/>I'm actually more nervous about the Roth IRA I started last year. It's MUCH harder to move money around in than the TSP and having just reread the prospectus, it has an unhealthy afinity for financial stocks. And since last year everything was going so well that poo flinging monkeys would have made good stock pickers, I tell myslef that I've got to take the bad with the good. <BR/>--SIMONAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994078.post-74510319917256459672007-08-17T17:36:00.001-04:002007-08-17T17:36:00.001-04:00For ha-ha, see also Arcadia, including some specul...For <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha-ha" REL="nofollow">ha-ha</A>, see also <I>Arcadia</I>, including some speculation on its etymology.
