Good Evening,

Today brought us another new record which is what we have to have in order to make a gain. So how far can it go?

 

New record for S&P 500, Dow just misses

 

 

The day’s trading left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Neutral, I-Buy, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 36/C, 42/S, 22/I. Our allocation is now + 0.23% for the year not including today’s results. Here are the latest posted results:

Each of our equity based funds finished in the .25% range today. They were very close for a change. The C-Fund generated a buy signal today. Here is what it looked like:
C Fund:
The C Fund managed a small gain keeping it above its 20 EMA for a third consecutive day allowing it to generate a buy signal. The 5 EMA made a positive crossover of the 20 EMA and the PMO made a positive crossover of its 20 EMA. Volume was average again today which is healthy. I would also add that the other indicators I watch also generated buy signals for this chart today. For the purpose of this newsletter, I use only my basic chart setup with my favorite indicator which is Carl Swenlin’s PMO (Price Momentum Oscillator). It is good enough to show the overall picture without getting too technical. I mentioned this just in case you might wonder why on occasion I rate a chart as neutral when these indicators are giving a buy or sell signal. It’s simple, I don’t bore you with all the other stuff that I look at.

Another positive day puts our allocation a little further in the green! I don’t have a lot of faith that this market can head much higher. However, I’ll stay invested and get what ever gains it might give. That’s my style of investing. Have a nice evening and may God continue to bless your trades!

    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…

    Good Morning, I hate writing about things like this. Nobody really wants to hear it but it’s something that must be done. Are my message boards flooded? Oh yeah. You’ve got the combination of an unprecedented global event coupled with the fact that a lot of folks that are trading now never experienced a market…

    Good Morning, Well where do I start? Someone asked me  if I was comfortable with my position in the market. I’m never comfortable when the market is volatile. It’s a difficult market to trade. If you watch it day my day then you’ll feel like your wrong about half the time. In the past when…
