Good Evening,

Everything is going as we anticipated! Thank God for guiding our hand.

 

Ho! Ho! Ho! Dow, S&P end at record highs

Why do we use the March date? That is the date that we entered our allocation on the Autotracker at TSPTALK.com. This was done in order that you may verify the performance of our allocation. In total, our groups allocation is up more than 30% in the period since 01/01/13. Here are the latest posted results:

The I fund had a nice day yesterday but it is still down significantly more on the month than our other equity based funds. I have included the chart of the S-Fund tonight as it secured a buy signal with a positive crossover of the PMO.
You know, for the past three years we have not known when this bull market might end due to the massive amount of liquidity being pumped into the system by the FOMC. And guess what? We still don’t know. All we can do is what we have been doing and that is to stick with the prevailing trend. To fight the trend is a recipe for losses or under-performance. As I have said many times, someday this will come to an end and we will have to play defense, but for now we must rack up as many gains as we can. That’s all for tonight. God bless you all and have a great weekend. Hope you are done with your shopping!

PS- Our gift this Christmas Season is that we have a new Grandson on the way! Isn’t God great!!

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…
