Good Evening, First of all let me give a shout out to all you veterans. Thank you for your service!!! May God continue to watch over you and your families.

The market capped off an interesting week with a mixed day. It started off with a small rally on Monday as investors bet on a Hillary Clinton Victory, then sold off as Trump victory became reality, and bounced back with a strong rally after investors decided that Trump’s policies might actually be market friendly. The two areas that saw the most improvement were banking and biotech. At any rate, it’s a whole new world out there as investors scramble to purchase stocks that will benefit from a Trump presidency while dumping the ones that will not. The action has been strange to say the least. I often don’t put out a blog on Friday night. However, I was very excited about what God is doing for our group. Our allocation continues to out perform and if my charts are any indication there is more upside to come! The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment made another strong gain of +1.28%. For comparison, the Dow added +0.21% to post another record, the Nasdaq gained +0.54%, and the S&P 500 gave up -0.14%. Praise God for our good day!

    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…

    Good Morning, Well we got the Fed meeting that we wanted with a quarter point interest rate decrease with the indication that the Fed is planning on two more rate cuts in 2025. As a result, we find ourselves in the odd position of holding a profit in late September. I said in last weeks…
