For those of you who are looking for the difference between the latest posted results and the MSCI EAFE, be aware that TSP closes at a different time than the EAFE. The difference will usually show up on the next days results. If you want to know about that in more detail then just look back in the archives. I’m not sure of the dates but we discussed in three blogs. That’s all for tonight. Have a nice evening and may God continue to bless your trades!
