5. I was in the thrift savings plan.

If you look at it you can find all the different funds. What happened many times in the risk funds would be wide movement up and down for months one way and then months the other way. it became very uncertain and you could loose large sums very quickly and then gain back but slower. We didn't have the funds you mentioned but if you go to the site tsb.gov and follow the C fund for a year you will see over the year it is about even after ups and downs.

On the site tsb.gov go to share prices then annual returns and you will see the difference in Obama's eight years and trumps first two, big difference. Look under monthly returns for trump and you will see the risk and the certainty of the G bond fund.

I think you may enjoy the thrift savings plan site. It explains the funds and makes it easy for non financial people to understand.

Peace.
