    Just checked and I'm down about 2% for the year. If you did your homework and you know you picked good funds you're better off not checking it so often. I check mine maybe once a month. You don't want to have a knee jerk reaction and pull everything out while it's down because it will eventually come back and you'd be losing out.

    If you just really can't take the volatility then you may want to invest in some bonds or something with a lower, steady rate of return.

      Personally, I'm down about 4% from my peak, not including cash contributions for the last month. A bad thing about accumulating a decent sized portfolio is the fact that a bad day wipes out thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. You know what you should do, it's a marathon not a sprint. I do anticipate this volatility hanging around for a while - at least the next month and likely the next 3.

      I'm down 4% as well. Peak for me was the end of June.

        Down 4.7%. *cries*

        But I'm looking at everything I buy now is "on sale". Gotta look at long term averaging and we're in it for the long haul, not quick e-trade profits.

          Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 08/31/2015 is -0.19%.

          Still down $9k+/- but I also know that by the time that I need these funds, market will have turned and compounded interest exceeded the difference lost.

            Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

            You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

              ...and only down .19% when the rest of us have lost a few points, it's magic.

                You do understand that accounting does not always have to be conducted in simple math terms correct?

                Personal Investment Performance (PIP) — The rate of return earned by your entire account during the 12-month period ending on the date indicated on your annual statement or on your Account Balance page of the TSP website. The PIP is a time-weighted return that has been calculated using a modified-Deitz method (a method used by many financial institutions and an industry standard). The PIP adjusts for the distorting effects of cash flows into or out of your account. It is an estimate; therefore, your PIP may not be the same as the 12-month performance of the TSP funds, which are time-weighted returns.

                    16.9 and not even breaking a sweat. Just means its a good time to buy more with it being down.

                        I agree, it's a way to skew the numbers...but hey, who do you think I work for??
                        As far as I know, every federal government agency uses this method with TSP.

                          If I would have had something in there, I very well might have.

                              it's going down so don't let them bullshit you. Take a look at a chart and tell me what looks good about it. The fed has created the biggest bubble in history and it will be nasty when it pops. I hope I am wrong

                                If you notice the macd on sp it's about to diverge. This is extremely bad. A close below 1820 will be extremely bearish. 1840-70 next battle ground
