  1. TSP Talk: Holiday rallies abound!

    Stocks were sailing along for most of the day on Wednesday, but a very late headline reversed things, at least in some of the indices. The Dow gained 114-points, well below the +277 it had earlier in the day, and most of the downdraft happened in the final 10 minutes of trading, after President Trump vetoed the defense spending bill.

  5. TSP Talk: Holiday week begin - can rally resume?

    Stocks had a wild ride on quadruple witching Friday where many options and futures contracts were expiring, triggering a spike in trading volume. There was also index rebalancing going on, plus Tesla was being added to the S&P 500, so it was quite a day. Yet, after all was said and done, stocks closed mixed with modest losses (and some gains) in the various indices. The Dow lost 124-points while the small caps managed another gain.
