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

  1. Hong Kong bill could jeopardize bulls advantage today

    Stocks were up on Wednesday with the Dow gaining a modest 42-points, but we saw more robust gains from the broader indices like the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and small caps. The Transports however were down on the day, and the a rally in the dollar put a little pressure on the I-fund. Today could be a give-back day, as you'll see below, but the Friday after Thanksgiving has historically been another day for the bulls.

  2. Has the seasonality play come early, or can it continue?

    Stocks were up again on Tuesday so the early Thanksgiving week lull did not materialize. Does that mean the normally strong two days surrounding Thanksgiving won't be as good as "normal?"

  5. Stocks pausing but will it get worse?

    Stocks opened lower on Thursday, then chopped around in a fairly tight range, but the bears really didn't seem to have their hearts into trying to take the market down, when it felt like the bulls were giving them the opportunity. Internally, the damage continues to look bad, but we're still near the all-time highs on the big three indices. The Dow lost 55-points, or 0.2%, which was about what the S&P and Nasdaq did. Small caps lagged and bonds took a day of rest ...
