Good Evening, Janet Yellen addressed congress and made a stronger case for a rate increase in December. Investors took the queue and invested accordingly with less uncertainty concerning a rate change. I have often said that in most cases the market seeks clarity and shuns uncertainty.

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment posted a nice gain of +0.67%. For comparison, the Dow added +0.19%, the Nasdaq +0.74%, and the S&P 500 +0.47%.

 

Wall street stocks lifted by data, earnings Yellen remarks

 

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Sell, F-Sell. We are currently invested with 100% in the S Fund. Our allotment is now +5.02% on the year not including the days returns. Here are the latest posted results:
