Good Evening, A rally in trade sensitive chip stocks drove the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq to new record highs today. The Dow sat this rally out weighted down by Boeing which posted big loss due to the grounding of it’s 737 max airliner. A positive report from Texas Instruments ensured investors that tech companies will indeed survive the trade war, that the trade war may not have as big effect on them as first thought. I’m not really sure about that one way or the other. I’m placing my bets on a dovish fed that will cut rates to keep the economic expansion going.
The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment posted a gain of +0.47%. For comparison, the Dow dropped -0.29%, the Nasdaq was up +0.85%, and the S&P 500 added +0.47%. Praise God for another day in the green!
The days action left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Neutral, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 100/C. Our allocation is now +12.91% for the year. Here are the latest posted results:

Now lets take a look at the charts. All signals are annotated with green circles. If you click on the charts they will become larger.
C Fund: The C Fund whipsawed back to a buy signal when the PMO moved back into a positive configuration. Two or more negative signals or the 5 EMA below the 50 EMA or 200 EMA or an SCTR below 40 generate a neutral signal. Any three indicators negative accompanied by both or either the 5 EMA below the 50 EMA or 200 EMA or an SCTR below 40 generate a sell signal. A buy signal is generated then the 5 EMA is above the 50 EMA and the 200 EMA, One or less indicators are negative, and the SCTR is higher than 40.

Our job at this point is to just monitor the charts to make sure that the character of the market doesn’t change. That’s all for tonight. I’m on the road looking for a new home so I’m doing my best to get these blogs in between appointments. Be assured that I am watching our allocation carefully as I always do. After all it’s my money too (;. This will likely be a lengthy search for me as I’m looking for my “forever” home. So please be patient with the blogs. They may be a tad more irregular than they usually are….. Have a nice evening and may God continue to bless your trades!
God bless, Scott
