Good Evening, Oil went up and the market……well you know the rest. It went up. Nothing new to be sure! The question is, how long will this rally keep going! After all it’s pretty much erased a ten point plus deficit in just a month. According to Jason Goepfert of sentimentrader.com this is the 6th time in 50 years that the SP-500 has erased a 10% correction within the same year. Of course two of those six happened  recently in 2009 and 2011. At any rate, we added to our bottom line today so I’m not going to complain.

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment added +0.396%. For comparison, the Dow gained +0.90% to go green on the year, the Nasdaq +0.23%, and the S&P +0.66%.

 

Dow Jones Is Up for the Year — Finally

 

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Neutral, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 40/G, 60/C. However, well probably be moving some money tomorrow. More on that later. Our allotment is now +1.91% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results:

Now lets take a look at the charts. If you click on the charts they will become larger. All signals are annotated with Green Circles.

 

C Fund: More than likely the 20 EMA will pass up though the 200 EMA tomorrow. When it does I will move all or part of my remaining cash into the C Fund. As usual, I’ll put out an alert!

C Fund

 

That’s all for tonight. Have a great evening and I’ll see you tomorrow.

 God bless, Scott 8-)

    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, It seems that it’s an odd thing to say, but we exit the month of October as a successful month which is not always the case as it is historically one of the worst months for the market. So now we enter the month of November which is historically one of the best…
