TSP Investing Strategies: Building Wealth While Working for Uncle Sam

The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), a tax-deferred investment vehicle for Federal Government employees and uniformed service personnel, is one of the greatest mechanisms through which to build wealth in the world. The TSP was established in the 1980s as part of an effort to modernize the Federal Government’s benefits system.

Retirement Strategies Take a Shine to Gold

BOSTON (TheStreet) — Worries over domestic debt, fear of a double-dip recession and a desire to hedge against inflation are among the issue that have heated up gold fever and spiked the price of the precious metal to roughly $ 1,800 an ounce.

There are so many unknowns from putbacks, litigation, and the general economy that any attempt to price the stock is useless without a crystal ball. Despite this, there are plenty of pundits and prognosticators out there willing to slap an exact number on the stock, so it shouldn’t be hard to find if that is what you want.

I am not going to get caught up on a finite price target because at this point, investing in the company is largely a belief that it will ultimately avoid a restructuring where equity holders are wiped out.
