Good Evening, Keeping it short again tonight. I’m worn out! trying to do this rehab/recovery and watch my stocks is wearing me out! Know that I do indeed have my eyes on the charts! I personally have too much invested not to. Not to mention the fact that I take My TSP Guide very seriously. I have a lot of good friends that have been with me for a long long time so I can’t let them down! Anyway, the market finished the day mixed with the major indices under a good deal of pressure most of the day as investors digested earnings from several large corporations and anticipated more after the bell. I feel like one in particular had a big influence on the day and will do so again tomorrow. Apple (AAPL) issued lower guidance earlier in the month which had a negative effect on the afternoon. As I have mentioned several times Apple has a profound effect on the market due to it’s large market cap. It is in virtually every index and many ETF’s. However, a strange thing happened which I am almost sure will give us a lift tomorrow. Apple’s reported earnings after the bell that were a little better than expected. Thus, the futures are currently rising and anticipate a positive open in the morning!!!

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment slipped -0.22%. For comparison, Dow added +0.21%, the Nasdaq fell -0.81%, and the S&P 500 was off -0.15%. Like I said, it was mixed…..

 

 

The days 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 -0.42% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results.
