This market is like a yo-yo. A lot of movement but not really going anywhere. 
Here’s what the S&P 500 (C-Fund) looked like today: 
A slight gain on average volume. Note that the PMO still has a negative crossover of its 20 EMA. This must improve to get a solid buy signal. It would also be nice if we had some separation of the between the 20 and 5 EMA’s. All in all, the index is still in good shape. Not a lot of damage done during this latest dip. The I Fund took the worst hit of the TSP Funds, but that probably means that it has the most room to run if this upside can continue.
0320
Nothing new to add. The charts are bent but not broken. We’ll continue to watch them all with a wary eye toward the I-Fund. That’ all for tonight. Have a nice evening. Enjoy the NCAA March Madness!
Oh yeah and Go Cats!!
God bless,

    Good Morning, Well we got the Fed meeting that we wanted with a quarter point interest rate decrease with the indication that the Fed is planning on two more rate cuts in 2025. As a result, we find ourselves in the odd position of holding a profit in late September. I said in last weeks…
