  1. TSP Talk: Good riddance to 2020

    As this crazy year winds down, we got a quiet day of trading on Wednesday, as we'd expect this time of year. The seasonal bias and internal numbers were bullish, and volume was light as we'd expect, but there was a fade off the highs so the bears were still hanging around. The Dow gained 74-points and the small caps broke their 3 day losing stream with a strong day.

    It's nothing to write home about, but at least it breaks the string of losses on the DWCPF. Volume remains low, which is understandable at this time of the year.

  5. TSP Talk: Stocks remain mostly bullish, but mixed

    The stock indices were mostly higher on Monday with some performing much better than others as we saw some rebalancing going on from money managers, and the light trading may have made it more pronounced. The Dow gained over 200-points, the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and even the I-fund were all up nicely, but small caps were down sharply, and the Transports were flat.
