Good Evening, President Trumps trip abroad and specifically the large arms deal with the Saudi Arabians took the limelight off of domestic issues and spurred stocks today. It looks like we have another V Shaped recovery happening as long as the word Russian does get mentioned in the same sentence with Trump. That works for me….

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment tacked on +0.12%. For comparison, The Dow gained +0.43%, the Nasdaq +0.82%, and the S&P 500 +0.52%. The I Fund was shorted a little bit on Friday. That should show up today when TSP releases their returns.

 

Wall Street ends up; defense, tech stocks a boost

 

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Buy, F-Buy. We are currently invested at 100/I. Our allocation is now +9.34% on the year. Here are the latest posted results. They are current and as you see the percentage that was short Friday showed up today. That’s usually how it works…..

    Good Morning, Our charts told us we were at the bottom and the fundamentals agreed. The opportunity was so compelling that we probably jumped back in a few weeks to early, but we wanted to make darn sure we were positioned for the run that would surely come. The market dipped and many chicken little…

    Good Morning, Inevitably, we will have a down day and today is it. Believe it or not the S&P 500 has gone up the past nine sessions and it’s been a long time since it’s done that. So a down day today is not so bad. The recent run has pretty much put things back…

    Good Afternoon, This was a Fed Driven market. It was all about when the Fed would be reducing interest rates based on inflation and that’s still the case to a certain degree, but in all actuality everything is waiting on the outcome of the tariff situation. So given that fact I’m going to say that…
