All of our equity based funds are giving solid buy signals at this point. The issue with the market this weekend is the news in which the Russian Army had crossed into its next door neighbor Ukraine. The market really doesn’t like major conflicts of any kind so let’s pray for a peaceful solution to this situation, which will be best for everyone concerned. We’ll be closely monitoring the charts on Monday and ready to take action if needed, On the positive side, we now have February behind us which means two things. The bad weather that has held our economy back should start to improve and March is statistically the best month of the year for the market. So seasonality is on our side in more ways than one! Now if we can just get Mr. Putin to play nice…..
Friday is the 19th trading day in February:

 

02281

 

Monday is the 1st trading day in March:

 

02282

 

That’s all for tonight. Don’t worry too much about Putin. We have the Lord of Hosts on our side. When He is with us who can stand against us? Give Him the praise!!! Have a great weekend and dream of that warm spring weather soon to come!
             God bless,

    Good Morning, All I can say about this market right now is that it’s fluid. While corporate earnings are a constant with over 70% of the reports beating estimates, the tariff situation is anything but. The Trump administration continues to discuss and enact Tariffs on foreign trade partners (and I use the term partner loosely).…

    Good Morning, Perhaps I’m getting old and don’t remember things clearly, but I just can’t remember a market with this many twists and turns. Even when it was volatile it wasn’t this volatile. I think of the 90’s and even the early 2000’s for that matter. Sure, we had the dot com bubble that burst…
