What seemed to be another gloomy week for stocks after more than 1% losses on Monday turned into three straight days of gains leading up to the Christmas holiday. In those three days the C-fund gained 3.48% and reached its 68th record high of 2021. That was overshadowed by the S-funds 4.73% gain in those same three days which erased the S-fund's losses it had acquired in December. The rebound in action is building confidence in investors that the typical post-Christmas Santa Claus rally will take place this year; however, caution is warranted given the indices have proven to be anything but stable in the last couple months of the year.
We're keeping it short this week and hope everyone is enjoying time with friends and family for the holidays. It may be a little easier if you were in stocks this week.
Next week is a four-day week for the TSP which will be closed Friday. See you all again next year!
