Good Evening, The S&P 500 ended up selling off to the tune of a little over a qauter of a percent. That felt a lot worse than it actually was simply due to the fact that this has basically been a lop sided market. There have only been four days of worse performance in the S&P since the end of June. That equates to the very tight trading range that we have been in. While investors feel compelled to chase on one hand, they become increasingly nervous on the other each time a little selling occurs. After all, the market pundits have been calling for a big sell off since 2009 and the longer things go up one has to wonder when the hammer is going to fall……
The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment had another decent day with a gain of +0.12%. For comparison, the Dow dropped -0.20%, the Nasdaq -0.40% and the S&P 500 -0.29%.
