Good Evening, The market was still cheering the jobs numbers from Friday and I must admit what’s not to like. The economy is strong but is it enough to overcome the protectionist policies of the current administration? For now it seems to be holding up alright. However, it should be noted that small cap and tech stocks that are leading the current rally. What do they have in common?? They are the least likely to be effected in a trade war…..So how long can our economy buck the headwinds? The ideal outcome would be if we can avoid a trade war, but that seems more and more unlikely as the other side isn’t necessarily interested in playing fair and seems a little spoiled from the current arrangement.

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment posted a gain of +0.62%. For comparison, the Dow was up +0.72%, the Nasdaq +0.69%, and the S&P 500 +0.45%. Praise God for another good day!

 

Tech rally helps Wall Street push higher, Nasdaq has record close

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Sell, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allocation is now +5.87% on the year. Here are the latest posted results:

    Good Afternoon, I am certainly praying for all of you effected by the ongoing government shutdown. I have been there done that and it was no fun. So far the market has shook the shutdown off as it obviously thinks that it won’t last long. My thought is that the market won’t give the shutdown…

    Good Morning, Well this months almost over and so far the major indices are still holding modest gains in the +1.5% range. If we can manage to hold onto or add to those gains we will have achieved what a lot of folks said we could not do. We will have made a profit when…

    Good Morning, Well we got the Fed meeting that we wanted with a quarter point interest rate decrease with the indication that the Fed is planning on two more rate cuts in 2025. As a result, we find ourselves in the odd position of holding a profit in late September. I said in last weeks…
