The C Fund chart for the day:
The support at 185 has held and has produced a nice rally. Another less accelerated rising trend line has been set, and a line drawn across the rising tops delineates a rising trend channel. Volume is still very weak.
We’ve had nice gains for two days in a row. Hopefully, it will continue into tomorrow and we can get back into the green. (Just a note for those of you that are considering our program on the street after retirement. We have never been out of the profit range in that fund as we have several alternative investments available when the market takes a dip.) Things are looking good for now and I don’t expect tomorrow’s FED announcement to change anything. That’s all for tonight. Have a nice evening!
God bless,
