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.

The new mix is 100/G 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 deposit in the event that it is…

    Good Morning, All I can say about this market right now is that it’s fluid. While corporate earnings are a constant with over 70% of the reports beating estimates, the tariff situation is anything but. The Trump administration continues to discuss and enact Tariffs on foreign trade partners (and I use the term partner loosely).…

    Good Morning, Perhaps I’m getting old and don’t remember things clearly, but I just can’t remember a market with this many twists and turns. Even when it was volatile it wasn’t this volatile. I think of the 90’s and even the early 2000’s for that matter. Sure, we had the dot com bubble that burst…
