Good Evening, By now you’ve all heard the terrible news about the terror attack in Brussels. The market basically froze on the news. My reaction was What? It’s not selling off??? Now that’s my definition of strength. Either that or traders have learned how to react to these type of attacks. Either way, the effects of past attacks have been transitory. So that’s the way I’m playing it…..

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment slipped back -0.09%. For comparison, the Dow lost -0.23%, the Nasdaq added +0.27%, and the S&P 500 was off -0.09%.
