  1. TSP Talk - PPI punches the market in the eye

    A late rally helped salvage a rough day on Wall Street after another inflationary economic report.

Bonds were down slightly as yields and the dollar ticked up.

  5. TSP Talk - Choppy weeks ends with a negative reversal on Friday

    It was a mixed and wild week for stocks last week and the jobs report capped the already volatile action with a negative reversal day that may have investors concerned coming into this week. Bonds were up but all three of the TSP stock funds were in the red on Friday.
