Good Evening, The election is here and the market is betting on Hillary. While I don’t get into politics on this blog, I do like making money and we did that again today. The market followed up yesterdays monster day with not great but decent gains again today. I’ll take them!

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment gained another +0.35%. For comparison, the Dow added +0.40%, the Nasdaq +0.53%, and the S&P 500 +0.38%.
