Good Evening, The market enjoyed another day in the green as the tech sector gave stocks a boost. Also adding to the positive sentiment was investors optimism that a trade deal will soon be reached with China. The self imposed deadline for a deal before new sanctions are imposed is March 30th. The prevailing thought is that a deal will be reached when Presidents  Trump and Jinping meet later this month. Technically speaking, the S&P 500 reached a positive technical level when it’s 5 EMA passed up through it’s 200 EMA. It is considered bullish when a stock or index trades above it’s 200 day moving average.

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment posted a gain of +0.98%. For comparison, the Dow added +0.70%, The Nasdaq +1.15%, and the S&P 500 +0.68%. Praise God for another good day!

    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…
