Good Evening,

With today’s trading, the possibility of another V shaped bounce increased. We had a good day with each of our equity based funds turning moderate to large gains. Small caps (the S-Fund ) led the way…

 

 

Stocks: S&P 500 closes at all-time high

 

 

The day’s rally left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Buy, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 36/C, 42/S, 22/I. Our allocation is now -0.63% on the year not including today’s results which should put us back in the green. Here are the latest posted results:

As I already mentioned, the S Fund led the way today as it does many days. Why am I not 100/S then? I am not investing to win the auto tracker contest. I am invested for the best return over a several year period and while I do invest at 100/S on occasions, I have achieved they best returns over the long hall by not keeping all my eggs in one basket. What gives a big return will usually give a big loss when stocks are heading down…just some food for thought. Let’s take a look at today’s S&P 500.
C-Fund:  The C Fund is now trading solidly over its 20 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and looks to be breaking out of its recent trading range. Volume continues to be average and the PMO is rising toward its 20 EMA. Should this chart continue to trade over its 20 EMA it should generate a buy signal in the next few days.

Our allocation was rock solid as we continue to be in the right place. My only concern, which is an on going concern that I bring up daily, is that we are against over head resistance on most of our charts. So how far can we go? Nobody really knows. All we can do it read our charts and trust in God. May he continue to bless your trades! Have a great evening.
God bless,

    Good Evening, It’s time to adjust our mix. The new mix is 100/G 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, I’d like to say that everything is changed and we are now moving on to a new phase of this market, but we are not. This market continues to be controlled by tariff negotiations, inflation and the Fed as it has been for several months now. It is more important than ever to…
