  1. TSP Talk: Stocks stumble. TSP website getting better, but...

    A better than expected jobs report on Friday was not what the doctor ordered for the bulls and the bears put the pressure on and took back most of the gains from Thursday's rally. The 390,000 jobs added was well above estimates and the unemployment rate remains 3.6%. Bonds were down as the yield on the 10-year Treasury creeps back up near 3%. The dollar was up but remains well off of May's highs after recently breaking its uptrend.

  2. TSP Talk: The bulls are back - TSP website is getting better

    What a day! Between the wild action in the stock market, and the craziness going on with the TSP website, not to mention some technical issues on my end that popped up out of nowhere, Thursday was quite the day. A morning shakeout for stocks after a guidance warning from Microsoft had the bears excited, but after an hour or two the bulls took charge and by late afternoon there was no stopping them. The Dow gained 435-points, and we saw gains near 2% to 3% in several indices. Bonds (F) were up ...
  3. TSP Talk: TSP.gov is back online, but...

    It was another hurky-jerky day for the market on Wednesday as stocks opened sharply higher, then sold off for a few hours before buyers showed up and erased the losses. But another very late reversal sent the indices down to close somewhere in the middle between the highs and lows. The Dow lost 177-points and the major indices all lost about three quarters of a percent. Bonds were down sharply, and the dollar was up.

  4. TSP Talk: Post holiday dip

    After a healthy pre-holiday rally last week, stocks did some digesting of those gains on Tuesday giving us some concern about a post holiday reversal. The indices did close well off their lows, but they also pulled back right after moving into positive territory for the day during afternoon trading, so it was quite choppy. The Dow lost 223-points. Small caps (S) lagged, and bonds (F) fell sharply - another reversal from last week. Oil gave back big early gains to close up just slightly, so it ...
  5. TSP Talk: Stocks rally into TSP shutdown week

    The rally in stocks continued on Friday with a 576-point gain for the Dow, and 2% to 3% plus gains in many of the major indices. By my calculations the S&P 500 (C-fund) would have been up somewhere close to 6.58% for the week, and the S-fund's DWCPF Index was up 6.24%. The I-fund is tougher to figure but the EFA Index was up 3.93% on the week. Bonds (F-fund) also had a good week after breaking above some resistance, but there's more overhead. The futures market saw oil prices move over ...
