Good Evening, Stocks took another short dip today as investors are becoming a little nervous about the Trump administrations economic plan. Specifically, they appear to be concerned that legislation will be delayed as a result of the Justice Departments investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. My only reason for mentioning this is how the market is affected by the news, not to comment on politics.

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment dropped -0.47%. For comparison, the Dow slipped -0.04%, the Nasdaq managed a slight gain of +0.01%, and the S&P 500 lost -0.20%.

 

Wall Street drifts lower; investors worry about tax-cut delay

 

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Buy, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allocation is now + 4.96% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results:

C Fund:
S Fund: Increased money flowing into this fund may strengthen it soon. Check out the MFI (Caulken Money Flow Index).
I Fund: Continues to strengthen. The SCTR is now up to 60.9. There are many factors that effect this fund. Probably the strongest current influence is the dropping dollar.
