Good Evening,

We had our anticipated bounce today. Now let’s see if we can get some follow though…

The I fund was the winner today. That’s the reason we are still in it. The C fund finished extremely strong as well. Here’s what it looked like:
There was a substantial contraction of volume, indicating a pronounced lack of credibility regarding the rally.
The volume noted above is a good reason why you can’t put total trust in this uptrend. Yes it is still in tact. Yes it could go on, but you should also be ready to switch to defense at any time. The lack of volume favors the down side. As I have repeatedly said, this market will be on the fence for the foreseeable future. For now though, all is well. May God continue to bless your trades! Have a great evening,
God bless,

    Good Day, It’s time to adjust our mix. The new mix is 100/C. Please remember that this is the percentage of money that we have invested in each fund, not the money that is taken from your check and deposited into thrift. Those future contributions should always be 100% G Fund. That automatically protects your…

    Good Morning, What a mess, or should I say new mess. These days the market is moving from one Geopolitical crisis to another. By now you are all well aware of the tragic shooting of Alex Petti in Minneapolis.  Regardless of who you think is to blame it is a terrible thing, but I’m not…
