07/19/18

Good Evening, Sometimes it just pays to be in the right place and today was one of those days for us. Small Caps out performed and were the sole bright spot of the day. All three of the major indices ended the day in the red as renewed concerns arose over trade and the days earnings disappointed. However, I will add that the majority of the earnings so far have been good. Another good earnings report from Microsoft (MSFT) after the bell should heat things back up in that category.

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment posted a gain of +0.32%. For comparison, the Dow dropped -0.53%, the Nasdaq -0.37%, and the S&P 500 -0.40%. Praise God for blessing our group again today!

 

U.S. stocks fall on sour earnings, trade fears

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Neutral, F-Buy. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allocation is now +8.64% 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…
