04/13/18

Good Evening, It’s late on Friday and I know you have better things to do than read my rambling so I’ll cut right to the point. Traders decided that there was way too much going on in the way of geopolitical events to take the risk of holding stocks over the weekend. With that thought in mind they sold stocks with the market reversing from opening well in the green to closing well in the red.

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment fell back -0.46%. For comparison, the Dow lost -0.50%, the Nasdaq -0.47%, and the S&P 500 -0.29%.

 

The weeks actions left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Buy, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allocation is now +0.39% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results:

We’ll be watching on Monday to see if investors jump back in or what the reaction might be if anything takes place over the weekend. Have a nice weekend and don’t worry about this market. God is still with us. See you on Monday!

    Good morning, I’ll keep this brief because I’m on the road again. This market is volatile! I don’t care what the so called experts say. I don’t care what the VIX is. I don’t care whether folks are making money or losing money. It is one of the most volatile and fluid markets I have…

    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…
