Good Evening,

The S&P briefly crossed the 2000 level for an inter-day record and then pulled back a little to close out at 1997.92. What’s good about that is that with God’s guidance TSP is fully invested in equities! AMP made a very small gain with its defensive allocation, but it is doing a great job of hanging on to a nice gain.

Here’s what the C Fund looked like today. Chart Courtesy of Stockcharts.com.
As you can see, the C Fund closed very close to its established trading channel. I probably need to redraw the lines, but the channel will still be narrow either way. Price has blown through resistance and is now in uncharted territory. The MAC D, Williams %R, and PMO all continue to give solid buy signals. A good looking chart if you are in it, but don’t chase it if you’re not.

It’s all clean and green for now. We’ll ride this horse as long as we can. As far as AMP, we won’t chase at this time. We’ll look for a good entry point into equities when the market pulls back. I just thank God for the success that He’s giving us in both programs. That’s all for tonight. Have a nice evening.

God bless,

    Good Afternoon, I am certainly praying for all of you effected by the ongoing government shutdown. I have been there done that and it was no fun. So far the market has shook the shutdown off as it obviously thinks that it won’t last long. My thought is that the market won’t give the shutdown…

    Good Morning, Well this months almost over and so far the major indices are still holding modest gains in the +1.5% range. If we can manage to hold onto or add to those gains we will have achieved what a lot of folks said we could not do. We will have made a profit when…

    Good Morning, Well we got the Fed meeting that we wanted with a quarter point interest rate decrease with the indication that the Fed is planning on two more rate cuts in 2025. As a result, we find ourselves in the odd position of holding a profit in late September. I said in last weeks…
