And here’s the F fund chart for the day. It’s still a buy.

Study those two charts and it wont take you long to see the difference. I’m still watching all the charts closely. The bottom line is that, as you can see above, the F-Fund (which has the majority of our allocation) is in an upward trend and the C-Fund (which is pretty representative of all of our equity based funds) is in a downward trend. That is the reason we are where we are at. Given the action of the past two days, are things changing? Not that I can tell just yet. If they do, we will change with them. However, I hope that they do not, as I don’t want to waste time chasing the market just to stay on top of the trend. That tends to make it hard to make a profit. Not impossible, but hard. I much prefer a long run in either direction to the constant changing of directions that we have now. It’s times like these that I find it comforting to trust in God. Give him the praise!!!! He will guide us as He always has. Have a nice evening!
God bless,

    Good Morning, I’d like to say that everything is changed and we are now moving on to a new phase of this market, but we are not. This market continues to be controlled by tariff negotiations, inflation and the Fed as it has been for several months now. It is more important than ever to…
