Good Evening,

The market dipped down quite a bit, but managed a strong finish. Worth noting is that the past three sessions all had poor closes. Does this signal a short term change in character?  I sure hope so..

The charts for the C and S Funds in which we are invested continue to hang in the neutral range just above the sell mark. They could easily generate sell signals with continued downward pressure. The I Fund, which we previously vacated, generated a sell signal today. Since we are not invested in that fund at this time no action is required. That’s all for tonight. Gotta go Christmas shopping. Don’t feel sorry for me though. I did most of it online.  God bless and have a wonderful evening!
