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

  1. TSP Talk: Is the TSP processing IFTs today? I still don't know

    Some afternoon selling spoiled a strong day for stocks on Thursday as the Dow, up nearly 200-points early, ended the day down 91. The S&P 500 also turned a modest gain into a loss. Small caps, which were up 1.2% in the early afternoon, tanked late and gave away most of that, although the S-fund did close with a gain. Bonds and the dollar were up on the day.

  2. TSP Talk: A quiet day that included new highs for the S&P

Because of the historical bullish bias of the week before Christmas, I generally consider the Santa Clause rally to start the week leading up to Christmas, which we saw was quite good this year, but historically Wall Street considers the week between Christmas and New Years, plus the first two trading days in January, to be the official dates. Whatever you called it, it worked yesterday as the Dow and most indices ...
  5. TSP Talk: The pre-holiday action was good but can it continue?

    It was perhaps stronger than an a typical pre-Christmas day of trading on Thursday, and as the market started to dismiss the Omicron headlines, the bears went into hibernation mode for the holidays. The Dow gain nearly 200-points on the day, but as you can see on these small chart below, there was a last minute sell off that took more than 100-points away from the Dow, and 14 off the S&P 500, but the S&P 500 did make a new closing high. That could a little worrisome heading into the new ...
