Good Evening, The market bounced back today as it put the well anticipated US bombing in Syria behind it. Earnings season is now underway with earnings expected to improve greatly. S&P 500 companies are expected to report an 18.6 percent jump in first-quarter profit, on average, the biggest rise in seven years. With that in mind investors are looking for the market to rally into the month of May.

The days trading left us with the following results. Our TSP allotment posted a gain of 0.92%. For comparison, the Dow was up +0.87%, the Nasdaq +0.70%, and the S&P 500 +0.81%. Thank God for another good day!

 

The days action 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 -0.07% on the year not including the days gains which will put us back in the green! Here are the latest posted results:

    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…
