  1. TSP Talk: Earnings have been great so, breakout or fake out

    Stocks opened sharply higher on Thursday following some big earnings reports from Apple and Facebook after the bell on Wednesday, but it wasn't as easy as the final gains would indicate. You can see all of the green on the Dow, Nasdaq and S&P 500 charts below, but after gapping up at the open, the S&P 500 peaked and rolled over and never made it any further, and in the case of the Nasdaq and the Russell 2000 small caps, they closed with gains of less than half of the opening highs, so it ...

    So we can see that price pushed past resistance on the S&P, while it was rejected on the DWCPF. Momentum is still more or less flat on the S&P, but hinting at turning down on the DWCPF. I'd take it with a grain of salt right now.

  3. TSP Talk: Accommodating Fed, earnings good, stocks sluggish

    A late push lower sent the major stock indices to slight to modest losses after the Fed's release of their policy statement sent them to new highs earlier in the day. The Dow ended the day down 165-points, or 0.48%, which was the worst of the bunch, while the S&P (C-fund) and small caps (S-fund) were down just slightly.

    We can see that price didn't move all that much on either chart. The S&P and DWCPF both seem to be hitting resistance. It's as if the market is telling the bears "I'm ready to roll over, you can short now". And then the market will likely take off once again. Yeah, the bears love that game.

  5. TSP Talk: Sell the news on earnings, or not?

    Stocks were mixed but mostly flat on Tuesday with the Nasdaq lagging with a modest loss. The Dow was up 3-points and the S&P was down less than 1. Bonds were down after a rally in yields, and that may have been the catalyst for the losses in the Nasdaq as well. We got some big earnings reports after the bell so rear-view mirror analysis on a flat day may be futile.
