TSP Market Summary: Week of October 10, 2015

By Roy Weisert, PhD, CFP

Key Takeaways

  • S&P 500 reached 2014, surpassing the 2000 bullish threshold set last week
  • Equity funds (C/S/I) recommended for increased allocation due to broad market strength
  • Next bullish trigger would be S&P 500 crossing 2060 resistance level

Last week I wrote that “If the markets can ramp up to the 2000 mark, we’ll start increasing to a more bullish allocation”. Well the S&P 500 did just that ending the week at 2014. International and Small Cap stocks also had gains. As such, we’re recommending an increase in the equity portion (C/S/I) of your TSP to 30 percent. A subsequent increase in this allocation would be if the S&P 500 could cross the 2060 level.
