Good Evening, The debate is over and the market moved back up. Although, the action under the surface was not that of a healthy bull. Small caps struggled while most of the gains came in high dividend paying large caps which are considered somewhat of a safe haven. I’m not even going to speculated until the election is over. Maybe not even then….

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment gained for the second session in a row at +0.12%. For comparison, the Dow added +0.74%, the Nasdaq +0.92%, and the S&P 500 +0.64%. A roller coaster ride to be sure!

    Good Morning, Another day another challenge. This market is anything other than boring and I say that not necessarily in a good way! When it comes to the market I think boring is good.

    Good Morning, Our charts told us we were at the bottom and the fundamentals agreed. The opportunity was so compelling that we probably jumped back in a few weeks to early, but we wanted to make darn sure we were positioned for the run that would surely come. The market dipped and many chicken little…

    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…
