Good Evening, The market took a Friday break today as it digested disappointing earnings from several retailers. More importantly, it did close out a winning week. With favorable seasonality and election euphoria supporting stocks there will most likely be many more winning weeks through the rest of the year.

The days trading left us with the following results. Our TSP allotment outperformed again today with a gain of +0.16%. That might not sound like much but it managed to hang on to all it’s impressive gains on the week! For comparison, the Dow dropped -0.19%, the Nasdaq -0.23%, and the S&P 500 -0.24%. Praise God for a good day and a good week!

The weeks action left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Sell, F-Sell. We are currently invested at 100% S Fund. Our allocation is now +5.72% on the year not including the days gains. Here are the latest posted results:

    Good Morning, Another day another challenge. This market is anything other than boring and I say that not necessarily in a good way! When it comes to the market I think boring is good. That means less volatility and that means less stress. Nonetheless, we have what we have and we must deal with it.…

    Good Morning, Inevitably, we will have a down day and today is it. Believe it or not the S&P 500 has gone up the past nine sessions and it’s been a long time since it’s done that. So a down day today is not so bad. The recent run has pretty much put things back…
