Good Evening, The debate is over and the market moved back up. Although, the action under the surface was not that of a healthy bull. Small caps struggled while most of the gains came in high dividend paying large caps which are considered somewhat of a safe haven. I’m not even going to speculated until the election is over. Maybe not even then….

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment gained for the second session in a row at +0.12%. For comparison, the Dow added +0.74%, the Nasdaq +0.92%, and the S&P 500 +0.64%. A roller coaster ride to be sure!

    Good Morning, Well this months almost over and so far the major indices are still holding modest gains in the +1.5% range. If we can manage to hold onto or add to those gains we will have achieved what a lot of folks said we could not do. We will have made a profit when…
