Good Evening, Once again, it paid us to be patient. Our indicators went right to the brink of a sell signal and our emotions told us to sell, but we never got a clear sell signal and were rewarded for our discipline with a big rally today! It appears that investors now have come to grips with the fact that the Fed will likely have at least two interest rate hikes in 2016. They have also come to understand that the Fed will not raise rates rapidly. The result of all of this was one of the best days so far in 2016!

The days rally left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment gained +1.69%. For comparison, the Dow added +1.22%, the Nasdaq +2.00%, and the S&P 500 +1.37%. Thank God for a great day!

 

Banks and tech drive Wall Street up over 1 percent

 

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Neutral, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allocation is now +1.80% on the year not including the days gains. Here are the latest posted results:

I know it’s exciting when have a rally like we did today. However, we really didn’t gain or lose anything in the long term view as we  remain bound in the same wide trading range. I do thank God for another nice rally to keep us in the game. Have a nice evening!

God bless, Scott 8-)

    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.
