  1. TSP Talk Weekly Wrap Up - The I-fund Tops the S-fund


    The I-fund's Success

    March belongs to the I-fund, so far. The less popular I-fund was the TSP fund to hold through the first full week of March. The I-fund accumulated a gain of 1.79% over the five days. Meanwhile, the C-fund netted a loss of 0.23% while the S-fund's gain was a mere 0.15% for the week.

  2. TSP Talk - How long can this last?

    Stocks rallied on Thursday on more solid earnings from the tech sector. The Dow gained a modest 0.34% but once again the broader indices did much better.

The I-fund did sidestep a lot of the decline in US stocks.

  5. TSP Talk - Slow start to new week with negative reversal day

    It was a choppy session of trading on Monday that ended with some late selling to pull most of the indices down into negative territory by the close. Small caps gave up a big intraday gain to close flat, and it was the leading fund yesterday. The I-fund and F-fund were both down modestly, so as bad as all the red looks, it was a fairly flat day for stocks that was marred by some late selling which may have created technical issues on some of the charts.
