Tommie: question about the F Fund. A while back there was a proposal to reduce the interest earned on F Fund dollars. Did that go through?

Apparently even this performance comparison can turn on a dime. However there was a small clue there on Wed, did anyone see it?

What do you think is the underlying basis of the strength across the board?

I only know what I read, and I read that the ADP showed that we added 253,000 private-sector jobs in May, which came in well above the estimate. So that's considered a good indicator of what next Friday's government jobs report will look like.

The exit from the climate accord may have played some part in it also.

I think it's a combination of factors. Let's remember this has been going on for the better part of 7 months now.

Oh, I'm sorry about that. I should have said that this is one of the rare times, the strength of the I fund is 0 (zero). Here I will change it to numbers outside the bars.

Warnings signs? It’s hard to tell, because the volume was low. Anyway, where are the dip buyers when you need them?

They're in bonds because there is a rumor a bunch of savvy federal employees got out of stocks and went into bonds.

I’m beginning to see patterns of 3-4 day trends. Lets see if we have 2-3 up-days now?
