Good Evening, Is this market volatile or what? One day it’s up big the next day it’s down big and the next day it’s back up. All in all it’s not really moving anywhere. A while back we mentioned the fact that we thought the market would trade sideways with a slight negative bias and that is exactly what it has done. It is currently trading off of two issues one old and one relatively new. The new issue is the yield curve inversion. The last four trading days the market has either moved up or down with the 10 year treasury yield. How long that will continue I cannot say. The second issue is the trade negotiations with China. Optimism that the negotiations are going well lifted the market today. It says here that the market will develop yield curve amnesia if a trade agreement is reached with China. At least for the short term…….

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment posted a gain of +0.36%. For comparison, the Dow added +0.36%, the Nasdaq +0.34%, and the S&P 500 +0.36%. Praise God for a nice day in the green.

 

Wall Street ends up as yields, trade optimism rise

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Neutral, F-Buy. We are currently invested at 100/C. Our allocation is now +6.85% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results:

We’ll likely see more of the same until we get a new market moving event. I believe that event will be a trade agreement with China in early April. We will see. Keep praying for our group! That’s all for tonight. Have a great evening and may God continue to bless your trades!
God bless, Scott Sunglasses

    Good Afternoon, I am certainly praying for all of you effected by the ongoing government shutdown. I have been there done that and it was no fun. So far the market has shook the shutdown off as it obviously thinks that it won’t last long. My thought is that the market won’t give the shutdown…

    Good Morning, Well this months almost over and so far the major indices are still holding modest gains in the +1.5% range. If we can manage to hold onto or add to those gains we will have achieved what a lot of folks said we could not do. We will have made a profit when…

    Good Morning, Well we got the Fed meeting that we wanted with a quarter point interest rate decrease with the indication that the Fed is planning on two more rate cuts in 2025. As a result, we find ourselves in the odd position of holding a profit in late September. I said in last weeks…
