On Monday the markets staged what pundits called a “Relief Rally”, and then continued to creep upward with the S&P 500 closing the week out with a new record high at 2500. Within the TSP, we saw renewed alignment among the equity funds (C/S/I). From a technical perspective, 1) each fund’s price is now above its 50 day Moving Average which is above its 200 day Moving Average, 2) each fund’s Performance Ranking is now a “B” and 3) each fund gave a new “Buy” signal. As such, we’re recommending an increase in the equity allocation to 100 percent, split equally among those funds. SIDENOTE: While no one can predict the future, a 20 percent increase in the S&P 500 from here will put it at the 3,000 level.
