Why hasn't the TSP already placed restrictions on the number of interfund transfers that a participant can make each month?

Before the TSP moved to the daily valued record keeping system, participants were limited to 12 interfund transfers a year -- one per month. When we decided to introduce daily valuation, we understood that some participants might trade more frequently. We decided not to limit the interfund transfers unless a problem developed.

In the past two years -- particularly in the past 6 months, however, the adverse effects of frequent trading have become more pronounced. Because the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board has a fiduciary responsibility to all of its participants to keep costs low, the decision was made to put restrictions in place. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
