Lets take a look at the charts: (All signals annotated with Green Circles) If you click on the charts they will become larger!

C Fund: The PMO Moved to a buy signal today. However,price still prevents this chart from being anything but neutral.  An SCTR of 60.4 gives the C Fund a failing grade.

C Fund

 

S Fund: Just as the C Fund, the PMO has moved to a buy signal. Does it indicate more upside to come? Maybe, but an SCTR of only 22.2 tells you all you need to know about this one!

S Fund

 

I Fund: Despite positive signals in the MACD, PMO, and Williams%R, price continues to move down the established descending channel. An SCTR of 32.6 tells you to stay away from this one!

I Fund

 

F Fund: Price continues to follow the upper trend line higher. A steady SCTR of 95.5 tells us that this one is working well. My only concern with this fund is fundamental. If interest rates increase it will suffer.

F Fund

 

There’s really nothing new to report. Sometimes that’s the way that it is for a long while. You just have to be patient! Pray and keep watching your charts. You’ll know when the time is right to buy back in. Have a nice evening and may God continue to bless your trades!

 God bless, Scott 8-)

    Good Day, It’s time to adjust our mix. The new mix is 100/C. Please remember that this is the percentage of money that we have invested in each fund, not the money that is taken from your check and deposited into thrift. Those future contributions should always be 100% G Fund. That automatically protects your…

    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…
