Good Evening, It was a bifurcated market today with slow moving large cap stocks doing fine and faster moving small cap and tech stocks doing not so well. It depends on where you were at and what you owned as to how you viewed the day. The same old news was making the rounds about tariffs and trade negotiations. You can read about that in the link below. You probably already guessed from my introduction that the major indices came in mixed on the day. All considered it was the type of action we’d expect to see in September.
The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment fell back -0.50%. For comparison, the Dow was up +0.08%, the Nasdaq lost -0.91%, and the S&P 500 gave up -0.37%. I must admit, this is what I expected in August. I guess we can suffer through a few weeks of it now.
The days action left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Sell, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allocation is now +11.06% on the year not including the days results: Here are the latest posted results:
