Good Evening, The market enjoyed another day in the green as the tech sector gave stocks a boost. Also adding to the positive sentiment was investors optimism that a trade deal will soon be reached with China. The self imposed deadline for a deal before new sanctions are imposed is March 30th. The prevailing thought is that a deal will be reached when Presidents  Trump and Jinping meet later this month. Technically speaking, the S&P 500 reached a positive technical level when it’s 5 EMA passed up through it’s 200 EMA. It is considered bullish when a stock or index trades above it’s 200 day moving average.

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment posted a gain of +0.98%. For comparison, the Dow added +0.70%, The Nasdaq +1.15%, and the S&P 500 +0.68%. Praise God for another good day!

    Good Day, You can read about anything you want to read about the current market. If you have a certain point of view you can find an article to assuage your feelings. It’s nice to feel good, but that kind of feel good doesn’t necessarily make you money. Just because you can find someone who…
