Despite the large sell off in stocks on Friday, the major stock indices, and the TSP stock funds, closed the week with some modest gains and bonds were down slightly.
Here are the TSP fund returns for the week of October 15 through October 19 and the up to date monthly and annual returns.
We saw a nice bounce off of support and the 50-day EMA on Monday of last week, and the gains held for the most part heading into Thursday. After a couple of weaker than expected earnings reports, particularly from Google, we saw the S&P 500 dive on Friday and it is back testing the rising support line and the 50-day EMA. Too many tests of the 50-day EMA will eventually lead to a breakdown, but for now it remains above and that is at least a temporary good sign.
