This and that about the market, the TSP, maybe some politics, and life.

  1. Are profit takers waiting for January because of tax rates?

    Stocks were up early on on Thursday but another late rally from stocks on Thursday moved the indices deeper into positive territory and we saw respectable gains across the board by the close. The Dow gained 63-points with gains in the 0.15% to 0.30% range for many of those indices. Small caps (actually it was the mid-caps) led and the Transports were down.

  2. Action continues to be flat

    Another flat day for stocks yesterday with a very late push higher moving the indices into positive territory.

    Stocks were uncharacteristically down, but basically flat, the day before Christmas weekend, a day that has an historically positive bias. The Dow lost 28-points and while the indices were down 3 of the last 4 days, it was a positive week for stocks last week. ...
  5. Bears holiday hybernation

    Stocks rallied on Thursday as the bears seem to have taken their normal early holiday break and let the bulls have their way. There was some late selling to take the indices off their highs, but there was a lot of green in the indices and small caps, which love the tax bill, led on the upside. The Dow added another 56-points with the S&P adding a similar percentage.
