  1. TSP Talk: Fed rate hike decision day

    Once again we saw some buying late in the day but it wasn't enough to push the indices back into positive territory after a sharp post-lunch decline. The Dow lost 313-points and we saw 1% losses in the big three indices, while small caps, the overseas markets, and the Transports all saw losses near or above 2% on the day. Bonds were also down sharply as yields keep rising into today's Fed interest rate decision.

  2. TSP Talk: Bouncing into the FOMC meeting

    Stocks opened lower on Monday but buyers stepped up immediately, and then we got a lot of chopping around until the last hour of trading when the bulls took over and posted a decent gain, filling in some of Friday's open gaps on the charts.

  5. TSP Talk Weekly Wrap Up

    Space



    The August CPI report knocked the wind out of the bulls rally early this week and sparked a sell-off that would erase the gains from previous week by Friday. We talked last week about the importance of this CPI report and how it would be a market mover. Well it certainly was as the market had its worst day of the year on Tuesday after its release. The Consumer Prices Index rose 8.3% from the previous August (2021). Although this was lower than the previous two months' ...
