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

  1. Most eyes on D.C. Thursday, not Wall Street

    Stocks had a solid day of gains on Thursday although they peaked about midday and gave back a lot of their morning gains by the close. The Dow gained 55-points, but that was 120-points off the highs, and we saw similar declines in the other indices. The bulls were able to hold off the bears from completely erasing the gains, although the small caps lagged again and did give back virtually all of it's early gains. Volume was quite light so it seemed many eyes were on the Supreme Court nominee ...
  2. Fed sets off fireworks

    Stocks were up early yesterday and drifted even higher in early afternoon trading, but we had some fireworks after the FOMC rate hike and policy statement were announced. Initially stocks went even higher after the rate hike. The S&P filled an overhead gap and the Dow was up over 110-points at the highs, but then it all came tumbling down.

  4. More mixed results

    Once again it was a mixed day on Wall Street. This time it was the Dow that was down big, and the Nasdaq led on the upside with a small gain, but it battled back from a near 1% loss near the open. The S&P 500 and small caps finished down but just modestly, while the I-fund was down after a day that the dollar rebounded from an early sell-off.

  5. Not all funds are equal

    Stocks were mixed on Friday, as has been the theme of late. The Dow gained a solid 87-points. the S&P was flat, the Nasdaq was down sharply, and the small caps and I-fund were on opposite ends of the spectrum, one down, one up. Some S&P sector rebalancing and a quadruple witching day with many options and futures contracts expiring, triggered a very high volume trading day.
