Good Evening, Santa Claus made an early appearance as the market set more new records today led by the financial sector. With interest rates expected to rise and Fed members making hawkish comments the financial sector which has been so beaten up so badly since 2009 has nowhere to go but up. As a result of this sector rotation, the market has not only been able to maintain it’s position but move higher as money continues to flow into financials and industrials from other sectors. The rise in industrials is a bet by investors that the Trump administration will be making large investment in the infrastructure of the United States. No doubt, those two sectors are a must own if you are betting on individual stocks. However, as far as we’re concerned it is more important that the rotation is driving the broad based indexes up as well. That’s what benefits us the most in TSP.

The days rally left us with the following results: Our TSP allocation made a nice gain of 1.32%. For comparison, the Dow was up +0.24% for another record, the Nasdaq added +1.10%, and the S&P moved forward +0.58%. Praise God, for another good day!

    Good morning, I’ll keep this brief because I’m on the road again. This market is volatile! I don’t care what the so called experts say. I don’t care what the VIX is. I don’t care whether folks are making money or losing money. It is one of the most volatile and fluid markets I have…

    Good Day, It’s time to adjust our mix. The new mix is 100/S. Please remember that this is the percentage of money that we have invested in each fund, not the money that is taken from your check and deposited into thrift. Those future contributions should always be 100% G Fund. That automatically protects your deposit in the event that it…
