Good Evening, Stocks moved up again today ahead of tomorrows Fed meeting. Our move to the G Fund is looking like a stinker right?? Wait just a minute. Everything and I mean everything could change tomorrow. Nobody knows for sure what the reaction will be to the Fed’s move and that’s dangerous. Think about it. The worst case scenario is that we finish the year slightly in the green with all our contributions in tact and that’s if we do nothing at all. If the market takes off we still have one trade available and could conceivably get on the train a little late. That’s the worst cases. Now……what if the market heads south tomorrow? Do you think the 1.6% that we that we would have made the past two days would help. Say we have a drop of 5% or more over the next two weeks. Would you be better off then??? At TSP Guide our focus is on first protecting capital and second making money. Our motto is “It’s not what you make but what you keep that’s important.  In 19 years of trading we have only posted two negative returns and we intend to keep it that way if at all possible.

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment was steady in the G Fund. For comparison, the Dow added +0.90%, the Nasdaq +0.87%, and the S&P 500 +1.06%.

 

Stocks Rally as Wall Street Waits for Fed Outlook

 

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Sell, S-Sell, I-Sell, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 100/G.

That’s all for tonight! Have a great evening and we’ll do it again tomorrow. God bless, Scott 8-)

    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, Our charts told us we were at the bottom and the fundamentals agreed. The opportunity was so compelling that we probably jumped back in a few weeks to early, but we wanted to make darn sure we were positioned for the run that would surely come. The market dipped and many chicken little…

    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…
