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

  1. Inversion warnning heading into Jackson Hole

    Stocks opened firmly higher on Thursday, but the bulls couldn't hold onto those gains and we saw a quick give back and fall into negative territory by 11 AM ET. The indices fought back for much of the day, moving back into positive territory and nearly reaching the morning highs minutes before the close before encountering a mini rush for the exits in the final minutes of trading. The Dow held onto a 50-point gain but the broader market saw slight to modest losses on the ...
  2. Top o' the range again

    Stocks rallied again in this very choppy environment. The Dow gained 240-points and every sector in the S&P 500 was positive.

It was a 1% plus kind of a day across the board, although midcaps stocks lagged a bit impacting the S-fund, and the dollar was up holding back the I-fund. As I said, we did see some late selling that may have investors nervous heading into today. Bond yields were up, and ...
  5. Volatility has been the story after 5 big triple digit moves for the Dow last week

    Friday put a big punctuation mark on a wild week for Wall Street with a 300+ point rally. It was the 4th day of 300 or more point moves for the Dow, and the one day it was only up 100-points, on Thursday, there was a 300 point intraday swing from low to high. It was a week that saw the first, albeit brief, 2/10 year Treasury yield curve inversion in many years. The more economically sensitive small caps and Transports led on the upside with gains near 2%, while the big ...
