07/07/17

Good Evening, As we anticipated the market bounce today on a better than expected jobs reports. Although it should be noted that the landmines that are North Korea and World Trade are still out there ready to rear their ugly heads. It all just reminds me that there’s a lot out there that we need to be praying about….

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment took the day off at +0.02%. I’m sure not complaining after it held up better than about anything out there during yesterday’s selloff. For comparison, the Dow gained +0.44%, the Nasdaq+1.04%, and the SP 500 +0.64%.

 

Wall Street climbs after jobs data as tech, financials rise

 

The weeks wild ride left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Neutral, F-Neutral. I can honestly say that 2017 has had the most Neutral Signals that I can remember. Neutral is exactly what it sounds like. The chart could go in either direction. Although, a lot of times ends up resolving in the direction of the momentum. We are currently invested with 100% in the I Fund. Our allotment is now +9.03% on the year not including today’s results. Here are the latest posted results:
