Good Evening, We finally got a temporary deal to reopen the government which first of all is great for all of you all and second good at least in the short term for the market. You know what? I’ll settle for any good at all. Praise God for that!!

The days rally left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment gained +1.33%. For comparison, the Dow added +0.75%, the Nasdaq 1.29%, and the S&P 500 +0.85%. We came out on top for a change. Praise God for that too!

 

The weeks action left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Neutral, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allocation is now -0.94% for the year not including the days returns which should put us in the green. Here are the latest posted results:

 Now lets take a look at the charts. All signals are annotated with green circles. If you click on the charts they will become larger.
C  Fund:
S Fund: The S Fund whipsawed back to an overall buy signal when the SCTR moved back above 40.  Two or more negative signals or the 5 EMA below the 50 EMA or 200 EMA  or an SCTR below 40 generate a neutral signal. Any three indicators negative accompanied by both or either the 5 EMA below the 50 EMA or 200 EMA or an SCTR below 40 generate a sell signal. A buy signal is generated then the 5 EMA is above the 50 EMA and the 200 EMA, One or less indicators are negative, and the SCTR is higher than 40.
I Fund:
F Fund:
I’m sure that we’ve still got a bumpy road ahead but we’re back in the green for now.  Praise God that you all are getting paid!!! That’s all for tonight. Have a great weekend and may God continue to bless your trades!
God bless, Scott Sunglasses

    Good Morning, Well this months almost over and so far the major indices are still holding modest gains in the +1.5% range. If we can manage to hold onto or add to those gains we will have achieved what a lot of folks said we could not do. We will have made a profit when…
