Good Evening,
Plummeting oil prices drove down the energy sector which, in turn, pressured the major indices into a flat-to-negative day. On the positive side, it was only a half-day of trading and the major indices did end up positive for the sixth straight week, albeit not by much. Both TSP and AMP were off on the day.

Wall St. up for sixth straight week despite oil rout

It was a short trading day so I think I’ll call it a day and go watch some football. We ended the week with some weakness but it was a shortened trading week on low volume. I’m not really sure how much (if anything) we can read from that. Our task remains the same: monitor our charts closely and stick with this trend as long as it lasts. Have a great weekend and enjoy that left over turkey. I don’t know about you, but I like it even better the second time around!
God bless,

    Good Morning, I hate writing about things like this. Nobody really wants to hear it but it’s something that must be done. Are my message boards flooded? Oh yeah. You’ve got the combination of an unprecedented global event coupled with the fact that a lot of folks that are trading now never experienced a market…

    Good Morning, Well where do I start? Someone asked me  if I was comfortable with my position in the market. I’m never comfortable when the market is volatile. It’s a difficult market to trade. If you watch it day my day then you’ll feel like your wrong about half the time. In the past when…
