I had to look it up, but it looks like the C Fund is meant to track the S&P 500. So it makes sense that it's done pretty well. I was referring to low risk instruments, e.g. non-equity based investments - the kind of stuff paying low single digit returns.

Wow...you don't know what the C Fund is?

You sure talk a good game...but the actual knowledge isn't there is it?

Serious? Or a clever illustration of Poe's Law (extended).

For the record, I am not a government employee and never have been and thus have little need to be concerned about Thrift Savings Funds on more than a very cursory level. I know what they are in general, but, no, I don't recall off the top of my head what type of fund each letter refers to. Why would I? That is, other than when someone I know that does work for the government asks me what I think about such options, which hasn't been all that often and certainly hasn't happened any time recently.

I think I am still considered young (but I don't look it), so I am still taking the high risk road.

As you probably should. And it's not even really high risk, just higher risk than many financial advisors would suggest that someone in retirement - someone that didn't have time to make up for possible losses or otherwise adjust accordingly - should be taking with a substantial portion of their savings.
