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 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…
