Good Evening, It was another day for the market in beast mode. The Dollar weakened, earnings where good, and while a little less than expected the fourth quarter GDP of 2.6 was enough to show investors that the economy is moving along. What’s not to like? I know, I know, every time the market goes up they talk about how overheated it is and how it can’t go any higher. In several of our recent blogs I stated the case for why the market could go higher. I never said it would do so, just that it could. I mainly said it because they were saying it could not. Well, while they where crying and whining I was busy adding to my gains and building a cushion for the turnaround when it finally comes. We have also discussed why it is best to stick with the trend. Sure the market will go down someday. I can say that now with 100% certainty. But as the old saying goes “You have to make hay while the sun is shining”. They’ll be plenty of time to get inside when it starts to rain!
The days rally left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment had a great day with a gain of +1.18%. For comparison, the Dow added +0.85%, the Nasdaq +1.28%, and the S&P 500 +1,18%. Praise God for another very good day! He has truly blessed this group.
The weeks action left us with the following signals: C-buy, S-Buy, I-Buy, and F-Sell. We are currently invested at 100/C. Our allocation is now +5.23% on the year not including today’s results. Here are the latest posted results:
