Good Evening, I know it’s Friday so I’ll keep this brief. The market rose again today on positive sentiment regarding the ongoing trade negotiations. Several comments from both China and the United Sates indicate that significant progress is being made. I’m sticking to my prediction of a new trade agreement in early April. Both sides need an agreement and that’s the reason it will happen!

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment posted another nice gain of +0.67%. Praise God for that! For comparison, the Dow added +0.82%, the Nasdaq +0.78%, and the S&P 500 +0.67%.

 

Trade hopes lift Wall Street; S&P 500 notches best quarter since 2009

The weeks action left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Neutral, F-Buy. Our allocation is now +7.25% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results:

    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.
