  1. TSP Talk: January 6 was wild, but bulls liked it

    It was quite an interesting day for stocks yesterday as the Georgia elections caused a stir in the overnight futures as investors looked to reallocate to more democratic friendly sectors. The futures were mixed with large caps, and particularly large tech, down sharply while the small caps were surging. The open bell hit and things flipped more positive, but the D.C. protests did pull the indices off their highs later in the day. The Dow ended with a big gain of 438-points, the S&P added ...

    I note that both charts show price probing fresh all-time highs today, but neither was able to close at that level.

  3. TSP Talk: Stocks bounce back on day two

    Stocks rallied out of the gate on Tuesday, then we saw the bears step up and take the morning gains away before things stabilized, and the bulls were then back in business. The Dow ended the day up 168-points, after losing 383 on Monday. The Nasdaq and the small caps led on the day, and yet another decline in the dollar kept the I-fund in the running.

  5. TSP Talk: 2021 starts out rocky

    The New Year start with new highs in some indices at the opening bell, but things quickly got away from the bulls and there was steady bout of selling into the early afternoon before things stabilized. The Dow, which was positive at the open, ended the day down 383-points, which was 450 points off the high of the day, but also 342 points off the low. The losses were similar in many indices and it looks like they all found support in some key areas on the charts.
