Good Evening, Well, the first trading day in 2017 got off to a good start. Actually, it was a great start until oil prices dropped turning a great day into a good day. Not that I’m complaining though. I really thought we’d start the year with a nice drop, but that was not to be as manufacturing numbers in the US and China both came in strong. Also bolstering the market was a report putting construction at it’s highest level since 2013. All things considered we’re off to a good start with our TSP allotment beginning the year +0.62% in the green! 2016 ended up being a decent year for our group as well with a return of 8.73%. Hopefully, the adjustments we made to our indicators late in 2016 will allow us to outperform the market in 2017!
