Good Evening, Today we had the domino effect going again. The Senate put off voting on the Health Care Bill until after it’s July 4th recess. That domino fell and knocked down the tax reform domino which caused the market to drop because that’s all it really cares about anyway. That’s right, It’s just like we discussed before. Any failure to push the healthcare reform bill through is viewed by investors as a threat to or delay of tax reform and that’s what market thinks it will take to will really get the GDP going. Folks, pray for tax reform!!!

The days selling left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment held up well slipping back just -0.02%. For Comparison, The Dow dropped -0.46%, the Nasdaq a whopping -1.61%, and the S&P 500 -0.81%. It’s not what you make that’s important, it’s what you keep. Thank God for a good day in that respect!

    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.

    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…
