This and that about the market, the TSP, maybe some politics, and life.

  1. What Political turmoil in Europe?

    Stocks opened higher on Wednesday and, as if Tuesday's political mayhem in Europe never happened, they climbed throughout the day gaining back all of the losses from the day before. The Dow gained 306-points with the S&P and Nasdaq basically reversing Tuesday's losses. Small caps led, and I-fund was up while the dollar pulled back sharply.

  2. Political turmoil in Europe scares global markets

    The new holiday shortened week started with a thud as political turmoil in Italy and Spain helped bring down global markets. The Dow lost 392-points or 1.58%, while the broader indices lost ground but not to the same extent. The small caps held up well while the International stocks were beaten down with another spike in the dollar.

    It was a pre-holiday trading day on Friday and it played out as such with light volume and a fairly tight trading range. The Dow lost 59-points while the Nasdaq and the Transports were the only majors to post gains. The I-fund was the laggard with the dollar pushing higher again.

  4. Geopolitics stirs the pot, but stocks bounce back

    It was another case of a news driven emotional sharp move for stocks on Thursday, in this case an early sell-off, that was faded as the day went on, and that seems to be the theme lately. After a slightly negative open, the Dow was down about 280-points 90-minutes into the trading day, but things stabilized and the indices caught a bid, and by the close they were almost where they opened, which was down modestly. The Dow ended the day down 75-points.

  5. Fed Minutes reverse early losses

    It wasn't looking good for the bulls heading into the early afternoon, but the release of the Fed minutes, which is not normally a market mover, reversed the action and most indices closed positive, and at the highs of the day. The Dow ended the day up 52-points reversing a 170-point decline at the lows earlier in the day. The Transports closed in negative territory, and the I-fund stumbled with the dollar making new intraday highs.
