Now that the shock of the stock market correction has settled in, federal retirement benefits specialist Tammy Flanagan said it imperative to calculate what your net retirement annuity income with be.
Over the past 11 years just about everybody and his brother has predicted that the record-long bull market couldn’t last forever.
If you had $105,000 in your Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) on Valentine’s Day 2020, by St. Patrick’s Day it had dropped some $20,000, to about $85,000.
The one sure thing about stock market predictions, whether and when it will boom or bust, is that eventually you will be right.
Managed to finish two horror novels last Thursday. The bad news is they were both true, as near as we can tell.
It feels instinctual to want to sell securities now, but it's an instinct you should ignore.
Well, it finally happened. After 10-plus years, the longest bull market in history, the stock market had an historic correction.
Despite high returns for the TSP’s stock index funds last year, a majority of federal workers have most of their nest egg money in the G fund.
Starting in the mid-1990s various experts looked at the aging federal workforce and concluded that the end, for many of them, was near.
The S and I funds of the TSP had bad years in 2018 but bounced back big time last year. Mike Causey asked financial planner Arthur Stein why?
Thanks to the booming stock market the number of federal-postal workers with $1 million or more Thrift Savings Plan accounts jumped to 49,620 at the end of 2019.
Many people decided to ride out the Great Recession so they could miss the downside and return to the TSP's C, S and I stock funds when things got better. Eleven years later, some still haven’t returned.
Mike Causey asked Abraham Grungold, a 34-year civil servant, why so many TSP investors have account balances that are so relatively small?
To protect their annuities from the ups and downs of the stock market, many active and most retired federal-postal workers have a major chunk of their Thrift Savings Plan account in the Treasury securities G fund.
