  1. TSP Talk - As soon as you recognize a pattern...

    The stock market loves to fool investors (or market timers) as much as possible, so just as we all got used to strong openings followed by late sell offs, the market threw us a curve on Wednesday and gave us a strong open and a stronger close.
