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

  1. Positive reversal day but another lower high and lower low day

    Stocks were mixed on Wednesday, after flip flop day where the indices sold off early, but battled back to close nearly flat. The Dow, down 180 at the lows, lagged losing "only" 73-points, or 0.28%, while the S&P was down a point and a half, and the Nasdaq closed slightly positive.

  2. A poke above 2800, but a close below it.

    Stocks opened sharply higher on Monday, peaked in late morning trading, faded as the day went on, but managed to hold onto slight to modest gains into the close.

The Dow was down 104-points and the losses near 0.4% in the indices yesterday basically took them to break-even on the week. We've seen some very good Fridays this year so today could be a good test to see if the bulls want to remain in charge, or if the bears have finally grown some teeth.

  5. Climbing that wall of worry

    The Dow gained a respectable 63-points on Wednesday while the broader indices saw minimal to slight gains from 0.03% in the Nasdaq, to 0.17% in the small caps, and 0.18% in the S&P 500. You can see in the intraday charts below that the action was choppy, but it was actually a quiet day overall, with narrow ranges in the indexes from a small loss to those modest gains.
