Good Evening, The market spent the day working it’s way lower on Geo-political concerns and a Trump comment about the dollar being too high. One thing I noticed during todays trading that is a change in recent patterns was that most of the dip buyers failed to show up which left stocks to close near their lows. Does this mean we’re starting a bear market? It’s way too early to make a call like that. However, any change in the current pattern is a reason to raise our level of attention. Recent trading has had negative bias and it’s not likely to improve much until we get through a crisis or two (i.e. Syria and North Korea). One thing that did help us some today was the drop in the dollar after Trumps comments. That resulted in some badly needed out performance by the I Fund. Sometimes we have to take small victories where we can get them.
The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment slipped back -0.08%. That’s not bad when compared to the Dow which dropped -0.29%, the Nasdaq -0.52%, the S&P 500 -0.38% and the S Fund which fell a whopping -1.06%. God was good to us today.
