Good Evening, Oil went up and the market found some holiday cheer. Imagine that, is there anyone surprised? The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment was steady in the G Fund. For comparison, the Dow gained +1.10%, the Nasdaq +1.33%, and the S&P 500 +1.06%. The buying will probably continue for a short time, but it is a mistake to base any long term strategy on this low volume Holiday trading.
