Good Evening, There’s nothing else to call it but choppy. We did manage another gain though, and I thank the Lord for that.

Investors soul search after jobs report

The week’s action left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Buy, F-Neutral. Our current allocation is 42/C, 58/S. That’s how we have our money invested, not how the money comes our of your check. That should always be 100% G in case it is added to your TSP on a bad market day. Our allocation is off slightly at -0.28% on the year but will be in green pastures on our next report as today’s gains will be factored in at that time.

As I mentioned before, getting back into the I Fund looks attractive based on today’s results. However, it you’ll take a glance at the monthly results you will see that we have been in the right place. We’ll take a look at that fund later when we rebalance.
The rising wedge drawn from the October low still dominates the pattern. A PMO crossover sell signal was generated yesterday, but it is not decisive because of the recent flat trading.
Considering the choppy action, things are going pretty well in 2014. With today’s results we managed to show a positive return for the first time this year. Lets all pray that we don’t enter negative territory again this year! Next week we have earnings reports up with a smattering of economic news. As always, we will monitor the action from our charts and react to the signals they give us. That’s all for tonight. Have a great weekend and remember, it’s not what you make, but what you keep. May God continue to bless your trades.

    Good Morning, Our charts told us we were at the bottom and the fundamentals agreed. The opportunity was so compelling that we probably jumped back in a few weeks to early, but we wanted to make darn sure we were positioned for the run that would surely come. The market dipped and many chicken little…

    Good Morning, Inevitably, we will have a down day and today is it. Believe it or not the S&P 500 has gone up the past nine sessions and it’s been a long time since it’s done that. So a down day today is not so bad. The recent run has pretty much put things back…

    Good Afternoon, This was a Fed Driven market. It was all about when the Fed would be reducing interest rates based on inflation and that’s still the case to a certain degree, but in all actuality everything is waiting on the outcome of the tariff situation. So given that fact I’m going to say that…
