  1. Will dip buyers show up after two down days?

    Stocks fell sharply for a second day on Tuesday, with the Dow dropping 363-points making it 540-points in two days. It sounds like a lot but the broader indices were only down around 1%. Volume was slightly higher than normal, but nothing that indicated panic selling. The market has been able to shake off two day declines fairly easily over the last year.

  5. TSP Talk Weekly Wrap Up

    This week we saw no change in the relentless momentum in stocks we've seen thus far this year. The quick government shutdown could not shake things up as a temporary deal was made to get things back and running for now. We got a little more volatility mid-week with some credit given to comments about the weakness in the dollar from Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and follow up comments by President Trump.
