Roth Conversions | Rates & Dollar | Sideways Markets

This week on the TSP Weekly Podcast, we focus on what really matters for TSP investors as volatility shows up everywhere except the C Fund. While precious metals swing wildly, stocks remain stuck in a tight consolidation. We walk through why price matters more than headlines, how to think about volatility you can’t see, and why trends and guardrails matter more than predictions. We also spend time on the new TSP Roth conversion option, break down who it may or may not make sense for, and explain why interest rates and the dollar are two of the most important forces shaping 2026. Highlights: Why volatility can exist even when the C Fund looks calm Gold, silver, and why chasing late-stage moves is dangerous The importance of having clear entry and exit rules Weekly charts vs daily noise for TSP decisions New TSP Roth conversion rules and eligibility The real tradeoff between paying taxes now or later Why Roth conversions are not a one-size-fits-all decision How tax brackets and retirement income affect conversions Cash flow impacts of Roth contributions Why talking to a CPA matters Dollar breakdown and what devaluation means 10-year yield trends and why rates matter for stocks and housing Key S&P 500 support and resistance levels Why sideways markets are the hardest for TSP investors What to watch next for the C Fund and F Fund Timestamps: 00:08 Intro and winter weather 01:18 Volatility beneath the surface 02:39 Why chasing gold is risky 04:19 The value of technical guardrails 06:15 Trading vs trend following 08:03 Weekly roadmap 09:00 Consumer confidence vs GDP 10:45 Fed decision and inflation risk 13:30 TSP Roth conversion explained 17:00 Tax brackets and conversion strategy 21:34 When Roth conversions can make sense 23:26 Dollar breakdown and global implications 26:30 10-year yield trend and housing impact 30:40 S&P 500 long-term channel analysis 35:00 C Fund weekly trend setup 37:30 F Fund consolidation and rate scenarios 41:15 Sideways markets and TSP challenges 42:25 Closing thoughts #TSP #TSPWeeklyPodcast #RothConversion #MarketOutlook #InterestRates #FederalEmployees #MilitaryFinance #RetirementPlanning #ThriftSavingsPlan
