This may sound likea stretch to some of you, but the Dow, which is a 30 stock index, would have been up if you took out 3M's 6% drop. That's a big if, but more Dow stocks were up than down.

Oh, and Texas Instruments reported solid earnings after the close. If the market was looking for a reason to rally, it may have gotten one.

TheLehman Aggregate Bond (AGG) fund went down 0.12% today, but the F-Fund went up a penny. What's up with that?

I played the F fund often and this happens all the time then the next day the damn thing will give the penny when I thought it would the day I moved. It follows and I think TSP has a deadline as to when they raise it or something but watch tomorrow I bet it gains the darn penny.

If you took out the banking stocks, the S&P500 would have gone down today. Banking is the only segment of the economy that is doing well (sticking it to people with their fees and charging the poor 25% on credit cards and paying off the GOP to not let them claim bankruptcy).

This market is going no where but down between now and Labor-Day; unless oil bursts and goes downs/stays down at $35 or a country like France sends their 120,000 citizens to Iraq to let us bring our troops home and they pay the $300 billon/year to rebuild Iraq.

Mmmm...G-Fund

Yeah, the Nikkei was down 3.80%. In the time I've been trading, I've never seen it sink that low.

The 19th is looking better, though.:^
