Good Evening, The market wanted to rally today, it really did, but just couldn’t do it. The earnings reports all came in a little disappointing and put enough pressure on the things to make it come out on the negative side of the ledger sheet when the final bell rang.

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment gave up -0.81%. For comparison, the Dow dropped -0.30%, the Nasdaq -0.50%, and the SP 500 -0.38%.

 

Wall Street slips on earnings; Apple falls late after results

 

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Neutral, F-Neutral. All the neutral signals are really an accurate indication of what the market is doing. It has been stalled in the same trading range for the past 3 3/4 months. Folks, that’s a long time to be stuck in a trading range. As I said before, I feel that the election on November 8th may break us out of this range one way or the other. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allocation is now +0.24% on the year. Here are the latest posted results:

Nothings changed and I really don’t expect it to until November 8th. As usual we’ll monitor the charts for a change in the overall character of this market. For now, it remains uncommitted in either direction. That’s all for tonight. Have a nice evening!

God bless, Scott 8-)
