Good Evening, President Trumps trip abroad and specifically the large arms deal with the Saudi Arabians took the limelight off of domestic issues and spurred stocks today. It looks like we have another V Shaped recovery happening as long as the word Russian does get mentioned in the same sentence with Trump. That works for me….

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment tacked on +0.12%. For comparison, The Dow gained +0.43%, the Nasdaq +0.82%, and the S&P 500 +0.52%. The I Fund was shorted a little bit on Friday. That should show up today when TSP releases their returns.

 

Wall Street ends up; defense, tech stocks a boost

 

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Buy, F-Buy. We are currently invested at 100/I. Our allocation is now +9.34% on the year. Here are the latest posted results. They are current and as you see the percentage that was short Friday showed up today. That’s usually how it works…..

    Good Morning, Well this months almost over and so far the major indices are still holding modest gains in the +1.5% range. If we can manage to hold onto or add to those gains we will have achieved what a lot of folks said we could not do. We will have made a profit when…
