TSP Market Summary: Week of December 17, 2016
Key Takeaways
- Markets consolidated after extraordinary 6-week rally with new record highs across major indexes
- TSP allocation remains unchanged as advisor takes wait-and-see approach during consolidation
- Contrarian concern emerges as media hype around Dow 20,000 milestone could signal market stall
This week had a consolidation feel to it as the markets seemed to want to build a little base. That would appear ordinary after the last six weeks of extraordinary gains with new record highs across the board. Next week CNBC will again have a main theme being the Dow’s march to 20,000. Having a little contrarian perspective, I had a feeling the markets might stall when they broke out the Dow 20,000 ball caps. For now, we’ll maintain our present allocation.
