"Chicken!!!!!!"
I do indeed resemble that remark! My experience with passes for "investing" in this household has involved holding off on jumping on the bandwagon until I thought it might really be a good thing (missing 95% of the runup), and then holding off jumping off because "it has to turn around soon, doesn't it?" (getting 80% of the rundown).
Since I'm retiring in 5 weeks there won't be much more added to the TSP, and I'd rather keep what I now have and watch it grow slowly (I don't have any grass to watch, so I have to watch something). I'll be 52 in September, so I figure the G fund is a safe spot to leave that chunk of change stashed. I no longer have any expectations of great wealth, or even moderate wealth, so I'm willing to go for security instead.
cheers,
Michael
