The markets hit the “Trifecta” on Thursday as the Dow, S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite all hit record highs. As I mentioned last week, it’s that “slow and steady wins the race” with the S&P 500 tacking on 2 more points to close the week at 2184. Since we haven’t had any transactions this month, we’ll do a little mid-month fine tuning and increase the allocation in the “I” fund to 20 percent and overall equity allocation (C/S/I) to 95 percent.
