Good Evening, Yesterday evening we talked about how maybe the bears were possibly a little too pessimistic  with their estimation for a drop in earnings this quarter. We discussed  that if the reports were some how to beat those estimates how the market would be spurred higher. Well guess what????? That’s exactly what happened. Both JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo banks blew away their estimates today and the market moved higher. Now all we need is a trade deal with China and the table will be set!

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment posted a gain of +0.66%. For comparison, the Dow was up +1.03%, the Nasdaq +0.46%, and the S&P 500 +0.66%.

 

S&P 500 closes near record high as earnings season begins in earnest

The weeks 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 +10.11% on the year not including the days gains. Here are the latest posted results:

    Good Morning, Well this months almost over and so far the major indices are still holding modest gains in the +1.5% range. If we can manage to hold onto or add to those gains we will have achieved what a lot of folks said we could not do. We will have made a profit when…
