January 14, 2015 — For federal and postal workers, the start of a new year is a logical time to check out the old TSP balance and investment allocations.

Will it be the C, F, G, or the I fund or combination thereof in the Lifecycle funds? Are you going for growth or safety? Did you learn the buy and hold lessons of 2008-09, and has your account balance doubled? Or did you cut and run and park your nest egg in the super-safe G-fund while the index funds were on sale, and then they started soaring?

All of the above are good questions, and Bethesda-based financial planner Arthur Stein will help you answer them, on this week’s “Your Turn”.

Stein knows the TSP, and he has lots of feds as clients.

Later in the show, Federal Times senior writer Andy Medici will break out the crystal ball to see what might be in store for feds, and talk about the possibility of a (partial) government shutdown.
