  1. TSP Talk - A negative reversal day, but can the bears take advantage?

    Stocks continue to fade the market's opening direction, but unlike on Monday and Tuesday when stocks opened lower but battled back all day, yesterday it was a strong gap up followed by hours of sliding lower and into the close - closing at the lows.

    The C-fund's weekly winning streak was extended to a fifth week, but it was the dominant performance by the S-fund that stole the show. A rally across the stock market led the C and I-funds to respectable sub 1% gains, meanwhile that same rally propelled the S-fund to a weekly gain of over 3.5%.
