Good Evening, It was another emotionless trading day as the market moved ever so slowly higher. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. It is moving up! It seems like the bears aren’t even trying to offer up reasons why the market should drop. It’s almost like they have been beaten into submission by the endless new records. At least for the meantime. The recent pattern has been that the market will undergo a slow period as it sets up for another leg up and that’s exactly what it feels like to me right now. My charts don’t show it dropping and the strongest season for stocks is upon us. Taking into consideration that nuclear weapons and mass shootings have had no effect on things to date I’d have to say that it’s going to take something pretty drastic to derail this train.

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment slipped back -0.01%. For comparison, the Dow added +0.09%, the Nasdaq +0.04%, and the S&P 500 +0.12%. It was a pretty flat day but I thank God that we were able to hang onto our previous gains.

    Good Afternoon, I’m doing this a little early this week as I have a broken water line to attend to in the morning. The big issues this week are President Trumps bid to buy Greenland, Threatened Tariffs on European Nations if they don’t back the sale of Greenland to the US, continued sector rotation out…
