Still here, as of late I've been buying USAA mutual funds. It's a "fire & forget" sort of thing and I won't be trading ETFs anytime soon, until I've built up a sizable mutual fund position. So far I'm up 7% since March. The reason is I found myself trading too much, and with the mutual funds I have a wide varity of choice through USAA, I have zero tranaction cost (no brokerage fees) and it only requires a minumum 250.00 purchase.

Here are my holdings.

USAGX - diversified in metals, including the miners, giving my broad diversification.

USCRX - Cornerstone, about 60/40 stocks/bonds with holdings in ETFs SPY, EAFE & emerging markets EEM. Also has holdings in Blue Chips. This is my conservative position.

USEMX - Emerging Markets gives me the exposer I can't get in the TSP funds.

USNQX - NASDAQ 100, gives me the heavy exposer to the big boys of tech.

This is all I'm starting with for now.
