Good Evening, The market continued to trade in it’s recent range as it awaits 1st quarter earnings results and news on the trade negotiations with China. While 2 out of the three major indices managed to move into the green in the afternoon gains were capped due to reports that earnings will contract for the first time in 2016. Investors were debating as to whether the projected earnings decrease has been priced in or not. My charts still indicate  that we’re moving higher. However the character of the market can always change and if that occurs we will be the first to know by watching our charts.

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment posted it’s eighth consecutive gain at +0.10%. For comparison, the Dow lost -0.32%, the Nasdaq gained +0.19%, and the S&P 500 was up +0.10%. Praise God for our gains!

 

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Buy, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 100/C. Our allocation is now +10.23% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results:

 Now lets take a look at the charts. All signals are annotated with green circles. If you click on the charts they will become larger.
C Fund:
S Fund:
I Fund:
F Fund: The F Fund generated an overall neutral signal when the PMO moved into a negative configuration. Two or more negative signals or the 5 EMA below the 50 EMA or 200 EMA  or an SCTR below 40 generate a neutral signal. Any three indicators negative accompanied by both or either the 5 EMA below the 50 EMA or 200 EMA or an SCTR below 40 generate a sell signal. A buy signal is generated then the 5 EMA is above the 50 EMA and the 200 EMA, One or less indicators are negative, and the SCTR is higher than 40. This is good news for stocks!
So far so good. Praise God we’re hanging on to what we’ve got and adding a little more!  That’s all for tonight. Have a nice evening and I’ll see you tomorrow.
God bless, Scott Sunglasses
