Last week I stated that for 2018 we should “Let the trend be our friend”, and that’s exactly what’s happened this first week of the New Year. Whether it be the continuation of the Santa Claus Rally into the January effect, all markets continue to hit new highs. As of Friday, the S&P 500 gained 70 points on the week/year to close at 2743, while the Dow busted through that 25,000 level. For the TSP, all three equity funds (C/S/I) made new highs each day this week which is something that I can’t recall happening in a long time, if ever. Because of this “Synchronized Global Economic Expansion” and the fact those equity funds all have an “A” Performance Ranking, we recommend remaining 100% invested but adding more diversification with essentially an equal rebalancing between the C, S and I funds.
