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

  1. A day of pondering on Thursday

    Stocks pulled back on Thursday so they could not follow-through on Wednesday's monster rally, but the gains on Wednesday were so big that a little profit taking seemed reasonable. After all the S&P was up 4.25% this week coming into the day, and that's a pretty healthy gain, and with the indices approaching some resistance, investors opted to take something off the table.

  2. "Just below"

    Stocks opened modestly higher on Wednesday but it was just prelude to a Fed fueled explosion after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell basically said they are be getting close to the level they are seeking for interest rates.

    Stocks rallied strongly on Cyber Monday after getting hit hard during the normally strong Thanksgiving week. The Dow gained 354-points on the day and we saw 1% plus gains across the board. Recovering from a mid-day sell-off to close at the highs was the impressive part, creating an intraday "V" low, which tends to roll into the next day, at least early on. But the charts still have some issues and there is some resistance that the S&P 500 will have to deal with if we do see any ...
  5. No holiday bounce, so what now?

    Stocks were down on Friday after Wednesday's big negative reversal action and we got a rare negative return for Thanksgiving week. The Dow ended the day down 179-points. The losses were modest in the other indices but that's unusual for the Friday after Thanksgiving, although as I've mentioned before, often the Friday after Thanksgiving is down if Wednesday was up, or vice versa.
