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 Afternoon, The theme we’ve been discussing in our recent blogs has been pretty spot on. Sticky inflation and speculation over what the Fed will do about it has kept the market trading mostly sideways. There really hasn’t been a lot to gain unless you are a short term trader and if you are you…

    Good Morning, Summers here and we’re all busy, so I’ll try to keep it brief this week. Last Thursday our charts showed a change in trend. So we reentered the equity market with the S Fund which had the strongest chart and were rewarded with a nice day on Monday. However, the two trading days…

    Good Day, It’s time to adjust our mix. The new mix is 100/S 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 deposit in the event that it is…
