10/19/16

Good Evening, More positive earnings led to another good day for the market. That makes two positive days in a row, but I will be surprised if we continue to move in one direction. The action since July has been largely give and take with neither the bulls or the bears gaining much of an advantage. Look for the upcoming election to possibly shake things loose. As that time approaches remain highly vigilant and ready to move if the market breaks out of the current trading range.

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment gained +0.39%. For comparison, the Dow added +0.22%, the Nasdaq +0.05%, and the S&P 500 +0.22%. Praise God, we had them covered today!

 

Oil, earnings lift Wall Street but Intel drags

 

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Neutral, F-Sell. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allotment is now +0.42% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results:

    Good Morning, Either I am more aware of things than I used to be or the markets these days are just more stressful. I honestly think its the latter. This market is an every other day affair right now. Eventually the current state of affairs will settle down, but for now this is it! So….I…
