Good Evening, Well, things were rolling along quite well with the market moving straight up until news was released that President Trump threatened North Korea. That coupled with earlier news that Japan had intelligence that North Korea may have already developed a small nuclear device that could be utilized in the warhead of an ICBM resulted in an afternoon selloff as investors headed for safety.

As you all know I stay out of politics on this blog. I will say this. We should pray for our Nation and it’s leaders as they deal with this situation. Pray for God’s guidance and His protection. Then, keep and eye on the charts! This news could be the landmine that we were talking about in an earlier post. As always, have your plans in place on how you will react in the event that there is a sizable move in the market. Also remember this, doing nothing is not a strategy and panic is not a strategy. Think about what you will do, how you will do it, and when you will do it now. Then should the situation arise, calmly do what you planned to do. Either way, we can trust that the Lord will continue to protect our group just as He has always done. Give Him all the Praise! For He and He alone is worthy! Have a great evening.
God bless, Scott
