Good Evening, It was inevitable that we would have a day of good selling after such a strong run. Nonetheless, if I were a betting man I’d certainly have no problem betting that we’ll get out of this month with a profit. The excuse for today’s selling was a report that Apple is reducing production of the new I phone X. Whatever, I’m more concerned with the what than the why. The what is the price and that was down today. To me, the fact that Apple contributed to it going down doesn’t change the fact that it did. That said, I’m still tickled to death with the month we’ve had and I praise God for it!

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment dropped -0.67%. For comparison, the Dow lost -0.67% the Nasdaq -0.52%, and the S&P 500 -0.67%.

 

Dow, S&P 500 suffer worst one-day fall in five months as Apple drags

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Buy, F-Sell. We are currently invested at 100/C. Our allocation is now +6.48% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results:

    Good Afternoon, I’m doing this a little early this week as I have a broken water line to attend to in the morning. The big issues this week are President Trumps bid to buy Greenland, Threatened Tariffs on European Nations if they don’t back the sale of Greenland to the US, continued sector rotation out…
