This market is like a yo-yo. A lot of movement but not really going anywhere. 
Here’s what the S&P 500 (C-Fund) looked like today: 
A slight gain on average volume. Note that the PMO still has a negative crossover of its 20 EMA. This must improve to get a solid buy signal. It would also be nice if we had some separation of the between the 20 and 5 EMA’s. All in all, the index is still in good shape. Not a lot of damage done during this latest dip. The I Fund took the worst hit of the TSP Funds, but that probably means that it has the most room to run if this upside can continue.

Nothing new to add. The charts are bent but not broken. We’ll continue to watch them all with a wary eye toward the I-Fund. That’ all for tonight. Have a nice evening. Enjoy the NCAA March Madness!
Oh yeah and Go Cats!!
God bless,

The Geopolitical stuff keeps changing every day and keeps causing the market to swing wildly between the theme that the AI trade is the future to maybe it’s not the future and we’d better move our funds into safe havens and value. One day it’s a…

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…

    Good Morning, The market is closed today for Presidents day and will reopen in the morning. This should give us a moment to catch our breath and get a handle on what is actually going on as the picture can get very muddled following the day to day action. So where do we start? Why…
