Good Evening, The rally paused today as stocks consolidated after a nice run in the end of January and beginning of February. Investors are also awaiting fresh news on the trade negotiations with China before making any big moves. Although, nothing is really expected to take place until March. There are several talking heads that are saying that most of the gains for 2019 are in the rear view mirror. I’ve got to say that I’m a little skeptical of that view. First of all, my charts are looking pretty good and second, the major indices still have 7 percent or so to go before they return to October highs. Given the possibility of a trade deal with China I would say that they have a good chance of regaining that level before they stall. We will see.

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment slipped -0.18%. For comparison, the Dow was off -0.08%, and the S&P 500 -0.22%.

    Good Afternoon, We talked last week about Jerome Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole Wyoming being a possible inflection point for the market and that’s exactly what it ended up being. The Fed chairman gave a somewhat dovish address in which he noted that  “the baseline outlook and the shifting balance of risks may warrant adjusting…
