Good Evening,

Today brought us another new record which is what we have to have in order to make a gain. So how far can it go?

 

New record for S&P 500, Dow just misses

 

 

The day’s trading left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Neutral, I-Buy, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 36/C, 42/S, 22/I. Our allocation is now + 0.23% for the year not including today’s results. Here are the latest posted results:

Each of our equity based funds finished in the .25% range today. They were very close for a change. The C-Fund generated a buy signal today. Here is what it looked like:
C Fund:
The C Fund managed a small gain keeping it above its 20 EMA for a third consecutive day allowing it to generate a buy signal. The 5 EMA made a positive crossover of the 20 EMA and the PMO made a positive crossover of its 20 EMA. Volume was average again today which is healthy. I would also add that the other indicators I watch also generated buy signals for this chart today. For the purpose of this newsletter, I use only my basic chart setup with my favorite indicator which is Carl Swenlin’s PMO (Price Momentum Oscillator). It is good enough to show the overall picture without getting too technical. I mentioned this just in case you might wonder why on occasion I rate a chart as neutral when these indicators are giving a buy or sell signal. It’s simple, I don’t bore you with all the other stuff that I look at.

Another positive day puts our allocation a little further in the green! I don’t have a lot of faith that this market can head much higher. However, I’ll stay invested and get what ever gains it might give. That’s my style of investing. Have a nice evening and may God continue to bless your trades!

    Good Day, 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 deposit in the event that it is…

    Good Morning, All I can say about this market right now is that it’s fluid. While corporate earnings are a constant with over 70% of the reports beating estimates, the tariff situation is anything but. The Trump administration continues to discuss and enact Tariffs on foreign trade partners (and I use the term partner loosely).…

    Good Morning, Perhaps I’m getting old and don’t remember things clearly, but I just can’t remember a market with this many twists and turns. Even when it was volatile it wasn’t this volatile. I think of the 90’s and even the early 2000’s for that matter. Sure, we had the dot com bubble that burst…
