Good Evening, Oil went up, but even that wasn’t enough to prevent the market from heading down after a bad manufacturing report. Of course, we dipped our toe back into the market with 25% in the C Fund. Today’s downturn was exactly the reason we are not 100%/C. Investing is a game of patience. March is one of the best months of the year for stocks. So we’ll wait and see before we pass judgment.

Today’s action left us with the following results. Our TSP allotment slipped back -.0.2025%. For comparison, the Dow dropped -0.74%, the Nasdaq -0.71%, and the S&P 500 -0.81%. The markets were mixed late in the afternoon, but sold off in the last hour of trading.
