Good Evening, Today we had the domino effect going again. The Senate put off voting on the Health Care Bill until after it’s July 4th recess. That domino fell and knocked down the tax reform domino which caused the market to drop because that’s all it really cares about anyway. That’s right, It’s just like we discussed before. Any failure to push the healthcare reform bill through is viewed by investors as a threat to or delay of tax reform and that’s what market thinks it will take to will really get the GDP going. Folks, pray for tax reform!!!

The days selling left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment held up well slipping back just -0.02%. For Comparison, The Dow dropped -0.46%, the Nasdaq a whopping -1.61%, and the S&P 500 -0.81%. It’s not what you make that’s important, it’s what you keep. Thank God for a good day in that respect!

    Good Morning, Another day another challenge. This market is anything other than boring and I say that not necessarily in a good way! When it comes to the market I think boring is good.

    Good Morning, Our charts told us we were at the bottom and the fundamentals agreed.

    Good Morning, Inevitably, we will have a down day and today is it. Believe it or not the S&P 500 has gone up the past nine sessions and it’s been a long time since it’s done that. So a down day today is not so bad. The recent run has pretty much put things back…
