Good Evening, Today’s market started off strong but settled for only small gains after the action fizzled in response to terrorist attacks in Turkey and Germany. There was also a lot of talk that stocks are topping after a nice Trump rally. That may or may not be true. However, it is my bet that while there may be some increased volatility going into the New Year, stocks will move higher. As an old friend of mine used to often comment: My money is where my mouth is.
The days action left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment gained + 0.49%. For comparison the Dow added +0.20%, the Nasdaq +0.37%, and the S&P 500 +0.37%. We thank the Lord for another good day!
Wall Street extends rally but Germany truck deaths reduce gains
The days action left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Buy, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allotment is now +9.30% on the year not including the day’s gains. Here are the latest posted results:

Nothing new to add. The charts for the C and S Funds remain in an upward trend and the F Fund chart is showing signs of possibly bottoming. The I Fund may be breaking out of it’s downward trend as well. That’s all for now. Have a nice evening and remember the reason for the season!
