  1. TSP Talk - Stocks volatile before NVDA, and the results are in

    Stocks were down, and down sharply, for much of the day yesterday, but the closer we got to the release of Nvidia's earnings after the bell, the more buoyant stocks became and the indices closed strongly, and at their highs of the day. The Dow and S&P 500 turned losses into gains in those final minutes of trading, while the Nasdaq closed modestly lower, but 130-points off its intraday lows.

  2. TSP Talk - Stocks open the short week with a loss

    The holiday shortened week started off with a bang and losses across the board, although the international stocks moved up to give the I-fund a gain.

  5. TSP Talk - Gaps filled, new highs, PPI on deck

    Stocks opened just slightly higher on Thursday but the bulls built momentum as the day went on and the indices closed at the highs of the day. The Dow gained 349-points, the Nasdaq lagged, and small caps led again. Bonds were up as yields and the dollar pulled back, but both held at tested support yesterday, which is interesting heading into today's PPI report.
