11/17/16

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!
