  1. TSP Talk: Stocks rebound from morning losses. Tech rallies after hours

    Stocks opened sharply lower on Thursday as the highly anticipated shock GDP report was finally a reality, but mostly expected, and the lows of the day were printed shortly after the opening bell. The Dow lost 226-points, while the broader indices were mixed with the Nasdaq back in the lead with a moderate gain, and modest losses in the S&P and small cap indices.

    And while the bulls weren't able to get the indexes into the green, they didn't close it all that far below the neutral line either (resilience).

  3. TSP Talk: Market rallies early, and hold gains after Fed Policy

    Stocks rallied ahead of the FOMC meeting and policy statement yesterday, and once that statement was released, we did see some choppiness, but the bulls won out and we saw a close with the indices just off their highs. The Dow gained 160-points and yesterday it was the small caps' turn to lead the way, along with the Transportation Index, both of which gained over 2% on the day. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both had gains over 1% so it was a broad rally.

  5. TSP Talk: Sluggish day in front of FOMC and key earnings reports

    Stocks were flat for most of the day on Tuesday, but late selling pushed the indices to their lows of the day at the close. The Dow lost 205-points and once again the Nasdaq was the high beta index as it doubled the loss of the the S&P 500. Small caps lagged the large caps and the I-fund may feel a little pressure after a rare positive day for the dollar yesterday.
