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!

Just a short message tonight! Have a great evening.

God bless, Scott

    Good Day, It’s time to adjust our mix. The new mix is 100/C. Please remember that this is the percentage of money that we have invested in each fund, not the money that is taken from your check and deposited into thrift. Those future contributions should always be 100% G Fund. That automatically protects your…
