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, It seems that it’s an odd thing to say, but we exit the month of October as a successful month which is not always the case as it is historically one of the worst months for the market. So now we enter the month of November which is historically one of the best…

    Good Morning, Wow! What a week. What a week. What a week!! It’s setting up to be the perfect storm! Let me explain. It all started with Fridays CPI report which came in softer than expected. The consumer price index showed a 0.3% increase on the month, putting the annual inflation rate at 3%.
