    Price on the S&P was only up modestly. It is pushing against resistance and there's still more above today's close. Price on the DWCPF actually pushed past and closed above its 50 dma. That's a big deal, but it's only one day and there is more resistance above. Momentum is rising on both charts, but strength isn't exactly robust.

  2. TSP Talk: Modest losses, small caps flip

    Stocks got off to a good start on Tuesday but the highs were made near the opening bell and we saw drift lower into the close, and the end result was some small losses.

Bonds rallied and the dollar was down yet again.

  4. TSP Talk: Mondays seem to be really good, or really bad

    Stocks rallied out of the gate on Monday, continuing the bounce off the recent lows. Trading volume was very light, perhaps because of the pre-holiday week, as it was lowest volume day on the S&P 500 other than a couple of earlier Fridays. That doesn't take away anything from the gains, which were real, but perhaps money managers weren't the most active traders. The Dow gained 186-points and it was actually the percentage laggard on the day with its 0.54% ...

    Price on the S&P closed in an area of resistance. There is more resistance above, but how stiff I cannot say. Price on the DWCPF poked above the 50 dma, but closed under it once more. As long as price has been under that key average, getting above it may not be an easy task for the bulls. But we're about
