Good Evening, Today is was the battle between the good news of multiple effective vaccine candidates and the threat of new economic shutdowns. When the final bell sounded it was the threat of renewed shutdowns that won out. The corona news definitely has the greatest influence on the market now. I must say, I’m quite happy to see the political stuff move to the back seat for a little while. Both sides get mad when I write about that stuff. It still amazes me. Nevertheless, it’s about Corona Virus now. On the positive side better than 84% of the companies that have reported so far during this earning season have surprised to the upside. Pretty much  all the charts and indicators that I watch are pointing toward a higher market in the intermediate to long term. So I wouldn’t put too much stock in the short terms struggles like the ones that occurred this afternoon. My assessment after reviewing the charts is that the market will continue to be choppy but will ultimately move higher. For now, I’m still all in……

The days trading left use with the following results: Our TSP allotment slipped back -0.39%. For comparison, the Dow fell -1.16%, the Nasdaq -0.82%, and the S&P 500 -1.16%. Our allotment out performed and I thank God for that.

 

 

 

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Buy, and F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allocation is now +32.28% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results:

    Good Day, You can read about anything you want to read about the current market. If you have a certain point of view you can find an article to assuage your feelings. It’s nice to feel good, but that kind of feel good doesn’t necessarily make you money. Just because you can find someone who…

    Good Morning, I hate writing about things like this. Nobody really wants to hear it but it’s something that must be done. Are my message boards flooded? Oh yeah. You’ve got the combination of an unprecedented global event coupled with the fact that a lot of folks that are trading now never experienced a market…

    Good Morning, Well where do I start? Someone asked me  if I was comfortable with my position in the market. I’m never comfortable when the market is volatile. It’s a difficult market to trade. If you watch it day my day then you’ll feel like your wrong about half the time. In the past when…
