Good Evening, I know there’s a big weekend coming up so I’ll keep this brief. Stocks reversed roles on the last trading day of a wild month that saw two 1000 point selloffs in the Dow. Today it was small caps and tech that lagged while big caps and financials picked up to lead the major indices to modest gains. It was a classic case of profits being taken from the high flyers and reinvested into stocks that were recently beat up.

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment was flat at +0.01%. For comparison, the Dow gained +0.23%, the Nasdaq +0.09%, and the S&P 500 +0.08%. Thank God for another day in the green.

The months action left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Sell, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allocation is now +5.27% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results.

    Good Afternoon, I’m doing this a little early this week as I have a broken water line to attend to in the morning. The big issues this week are President Trumps bid to buy Greenland, Threatened Tariffs on European Nations if they don’t back the sale of Greenland to the US, continued sector rotation out…

    Good Morning, I woke up this morning and looked  at the notifications on my phone and I was like what? A criminal investigation of Jerome Powell? What kind of fake Facebook post is that?? Then I saw a thing or two from a couple of the major networks and I immediately realized that this might…
