Good Evening, The market was flat and we’re still in the same trading range we’ve been in for the past 3 1/2 months. Is anybody surprised? About the only ones making any money right now at the folks earning a nice dividend. As I already discussed we expect this to go on through November 8th (the election). However, we are not making any predictions on whether the market will head north or south. I intend to keep a very close eye on my charts through out the election.

The days action left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment slipped back -0.09%. For comparison the Dow dropped -0.09%, the Nasdaq gained +0.30% and the S&P 500 was flat at -0.01%.

The weeks action left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Neutral, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allotment is now +0.56% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results:

    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…
