Good Evening,

Traders took a little rest after yesterday’s record setting rally. For the most part the major indices drifted sideways finishing mixed on the day. That’s OK as the market looks to a positive end to the year with no major resistance ahead in that both the tapering and government budget issues have been settled. The market hates uncertainty and with those two issues resolved the uncertainty has been removed for now.

 

 

Investors take a break after taper rally

 

The day’s action left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Sell, F-Sell. Our allocation remains the same at 63/C, 37/S. It has earned +18.61% since 03/11/13. Here are the latest posted results:   
12/18/13
Fund G Fund F Fund C Fund S Fund I Fund
Price 14.2755 15.7817 23.3705 32.8264 24.5506

% Change year +6.35% +14.32% +17.95% +20.65% +23.20%
Notice the change in monthly value, you’ll see that the C and S fund are up and the I is down, way down. With God’s help, we were in the right place with our allocation! As I mentioned last night, we are expecting more follow through in the coming days. It is doubtful that we’ll need to re-balance our allocation as it is on target for the current market. We will review it again in three weeks or so barring no major moves in the market. Of course, we are always ready to make a move should we get new signals on our charts. Remember, if you honor God, He will bless you in all things. That’s all for tonight. Have a nice evening.
God bless,

Those future contributions should always be 100% G Fund. That automatically protects your deposit in the event that it is…

    Good Morning, All I can say about this market right now is that it’s fluid. While corporate earnings are a constant with over 70% of the reports beating estimates, the tariff situation is anything but. The Trump administration continues to discuss and enact Tariffs on foreign trade partners (and I use the term partner loosely).…

    Good Morning, Perhaps I’m getting old and don’t remember things clearly, but I just can’t remember a market with this many twists and turns. Even when it was volatile it wasn’t this volatile. I think of the 90’s and even the early 2000’s for that matter. Sure, we had the dot com bubble that burst…
