Good Evening, Just a quick post to let everyone know where we stand. The market drove up fairly hard in the morning and finished the afternoon with diminished gains. The action was spurred by a strong jobs report, but tempered by lower than expected wage growth. Even though the market finished well off it’s highs for the day, there was enough positive action to trigger the next buy signal we have been watching for. We initiated and interfund transfer to 40/G, 60/C. That was a little more than I initially planned to put into the market. However, I added an extra 10% as it is early in the month and we only have one trade left to carry us though to May…..

The weeks action left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Neutral, F-Neutral. We currently invested at 75/G, 25/C but put in an interfund transfer to move to 40/G, 60/C effective at the close of business on Monday. Our allocation is now +0.94% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results:

    Good Morning, Another day another challenge. This market is anything other than boring and I say that not necessarily in a good way! When it comes to the market I think boring is good. That means less volatility and that means less stress. Nonetheless, we have what we have and we must deal with it.…

    Good Morning, Our charts told us we were at the bottom and the fundamentals agreed. The opportunity was so compelling that we probably jumped back in a few weeks to early, but we wanted to make darn sure we were positioned for the run that would surely come. The market dipped and many chicken little…

    Good Morning, Inevitably, we will have a down day and today is it. Believe it or not the S&P 500 has gone up the past nine sessions and it’s been a long time since it’s done that. So a down day today is not so bad. The recent run has pretty much put things back…
