Good Evening, The market traded sideways with a slightly negative twist as investors weighed impeachment talk from the Democrats against positive comments from China’s top trade negotiator. Were it not for the impeachment proceedings the market would likely be moving higher. It is showing resiliency by staying afloat with so many negative issues. There is little doubt that it wants to rally and will do so given any relief at all from the many negative influences that keep popping up.

The days trading left us with  the following results: Our TSP allotment gave up -0.24%. For comparison, the Dow lost -0.30%, the Nasdaq -0.58%, and the S&P 500 -0.24%.

    Good Morning, Inevitably, we will have a down day and today is it. Believe it or not the S&P 500 has gone up the past nine sessions and it’s been a long time since it’s done that. So a down day today is not so bad. The recent run has pretty much put things back…

    Good Afternoon, This was a Fed Driven market. It was all about when the Fed would be reducing interest rates based on inflation and that’s still the case to a certain degree, but in all actuality everything is waiting on the outcome of the tariff situation.
