Is the G Fund the Place to Be in 2009?

Let's look at G fund returns for the month of December and the following
year....

2001 .42%..next year 5%
2002 .38%..next year 4.11%
2003 .49%..next year 4.3%
2004 .38%..next year 4.49%
2005 .45%..next year 4.93%
2006 .34%..next year 4.87%
2007 .41%..next year 3.75%

Dec 2008 return for G fund was 0.24% which is an annualized rate of
2.88%

Equities should have a much higher return in 2009 than the G fund, given
the major hit that they received in 2008.

TSP Advisory Services: The Creation Year

In providing TSP Advisory Services performance records, we've previously
provided all records of each service from 2005 to the present.

However, in reviewing these records, we've noted a strong tendency for
advisory services to do exceptionally well in their creation years, yet
to fall off thereafter. As the creation years generally do NOT have
subscribers for the entire year, the performance during those years
cannot be verified.

Therefore, in an effort to ensure the validity of these records, we will
no longer track creation year performance records. Tracking will begin
with the first full year of performance, in which subscriptions or
official records were publicly available during the entire year.

Our TSP Advisory Services performance files have been revised accordingly.
