Good Evening,

With today’s trading, the possibility of another V shaped bounce increased. We had a good day with each of our equity based funds turning moderate to large gains. Small caps (the S-Fund ) led the way…

 

 

Stocks: S&P 500 closes at all-time high

 

 

The day’s rally left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Buy, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 36/C, 42/S, 22/I. Our allocation is now -0.63% on the year not including today’s results which should put us back in the green. Here are the latest posted results:

As I already mentioned, the S Fund led the way today as it does many days. Why am I not 100/S then? I am not investing to win the auto tracker contest. I am invested for the best return over a several year period and while I do invest at 100/S on occasions, I have achieved they best returns over the long hall by not keeping all my eggs in one basket. What gives a big return will usually give a big loss when stocks are heading down…just some food for thought. Let’s take a look at today’s S&P 500.
C-Fund:  The C Fund is now trading solidly over its 20 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and looks to be breaking out of its recent trading range. Volume continues to be average and the PMO is rising toward its 20 EMA. Should this chart continue to trade over its 20 EMA it should generate a buy signal in the next few days.

Our allocation was rock solid as we continue to be in the right place. My only concern, which is an on going concern that I bring up daily, is that we are against over head resistance on most of our charts. So how far can we go? Nobody really knows. All we can do it read our charts and trust in God. May he continue to bless your trades! Have a great evening.
God bless,

    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…
