Coolhand's Market Analysis

A weekly snapshot of current TSP allocations for both the Top 50 and the Total Tracker. I also try to accompany the allocation charts with some measure of technical analysis, normally using the S&P 500.

    So, price has now closed above the 200 dma on both charts, but not by a lot. Momentum has not yet turned back up either, but it's a start if the bulls continue to press. I still think

    Upward momentum is still rather flat. That 50 dma continues to close on the 200 (of course). A positive cross is likely to occur in about a week or so, assuming
