Good Evening, The day can only be described as one thing and that’s flat. It was a flat flat flat boring summer day of trading. You know what? I’ve got two positive things to say about it. The first is that flat is a whole lot better than a big loss and the second is that it could be said that this kind of action is exactly what the market needs to consolidate after the nice run we’ve had. The media blamed the day’s tepid trading on a drop in oil prices caused by a drop in demand in China as a result of the trade war.
The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment slipped -0.17%. For comparison, the Dow was off -0.18%, the Nasdaq managed a slight gain of +0.06%, and the S&P 500 was pretty flat at -0.03%. Like I said, it was flat…..
The days trading left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Neutral, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allocation is now +8.95% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results:
