12/21/17

Good Evening, Energy and banks kicked in today to lead the market higher. The major indices all maintained moderate gains for most of the day but came way off there highs in the afternoon to close with much smaller gains. The one notable exception today was bitcoin and block chain related stocks which sold off hard as market players decided to take profits in the red hot sector prior to the long weekend.

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment  gained +0.31%. For comparison, the Dow added +0.23%, the Nasdaq +0.06%, and the S&P 500 +0.20%. Thank God for another day in the green!

 

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Buy, F-Sell. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allocation is now +19.17% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results:

Small caps haven’t popped yet this December like they normally do but hopefully they will do so through the end of the year and into the beginning of the new one. That’s all for tonight. Have a great evening and I’ll see you tomorrow.

    Good Day, It’s time to adjust our mix. The new mix is 100/S. 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 deposit in the event that it…
