    Do you mean tips such as what fund(s) to invest in, how much to invest, or something else?

    Exactly

    I have it set up as 70% S Fund, 30% C Fund, and the rest in the G. I've have moved it around throughout the years going C Fund heavy.
    Just want to see if anyone has any good advice.

    Very unimpressive. If I buy any shares it probably won’t be today. I’m looking forward to the Poshmark IPO!

    When I set my TSP up, probably around 2010, I selected 50% S and 50% I. Your ratios seem okay to me. How long have you been it the military? Do you plan on staying in? Are you investing only in the TSP currently?

    I've been in nine years and I'm going to just go as long as I can. I was looking into the Roth TSP but as of now I'm only in traditional

    I would say for the first 7 years it was just in the G Fund....unfortunately

    Are you interested in investing just for retirement or investing to generate income too? If only for for retirement, I would invest as much as you are can or are willing too in the TSP.

    Your senior leadership might be a good source of info too.

    It's tough to say, we may drop another 10% or more, but of course who knows.

    I agree with @Falldownhard, unless you have knowledge as an Apple employee that would make you NOT want to buy more AAPL.

    I agree too, bought some, and have had it for a while. I just think you might get it for $150 soon. I'll buy more then for sure.

    That would be nice! I think we're quickly going to 2,600 on the S&P to "adjust" to the effects of the trade war. That's my guess, probably wrong lol

    Lol I was up 5% at open thanks only to oil, now I'm down 5%+ from oil and everything else. I'm not even going to look at my portfolio

    Glad I have half my 401k in Vmrxx right about now. Couple more days of this and I might start injecting that into the market
