Good Evening, The market weakened today on news that President Trump fired the FBI Director. To be honest with you, the market really wasn’t concerned with the firing. It was concerned with the fact that the firing was a distraction from what is really near and dear to it’s heart, tax reform.
The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment posted a small gain of +0.15%. For comparison, the Dow dropped -0.16%, the Nasdaq gained +0.14%, and the S&P 500 +0.11%.
