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.

    The DWCPF has finally joined the S&P 500 in attaining a new all-time high. It lags the S&P 500 overall, but it's doing well regardless. I note that RSI is overbought on both charts; especially the S&P 500.
