Good Evening, An improved Services sector and stronger energy prices led a rebound in the market today. The days action once again proves the old adage that the market has no memory from day to day.

 

Energy, bank stocks lead Wall Street higher

 

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment gained +0.48%. For comparison, the Dow was up +0.62%, the Nasdaq +0.50%, and the S&P 500 +0.43%. The days action left the charts with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Buy, I-Neutral, F-Sell. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allocation is now +1.97% on the year not including today’s gains. Here are the latest posted results:

Now lets take a look at the charts. All signals are annotated with green circles. If you click on the charts they will become larger.
C Fund:
c-fund
S Fund:
s-fund
I Fund:
i-fund
F Fund: The F Fund generated an overall sell signal with no less than three indicators moving into negative configurations. The PMO, MACD, and Williams %R. The down turn in bonds is likely a result of increased chances of a FED rate hike in December. Another thing to note is that money may be moving out of bonds and back into stocks for a fall rally. That would be good for us with our 100/S allocation.
f-fund
We’ll see what happens. The market is likely to be volatile with the election coming in just a month. I’m going to keep praying and watching my charts! Have a nice evening and may God continue to bless your trades!
God bless, Scott 8-)
