Not a very big month, up or down, for the market. I was in the S Fund, the worst performing fund of the TSP for March, but not significantly so. What is striking is the performance of the F Fund at 1.93%, its fifth best month since 2004. My concerns are raised a bit by its return and my own calculations. Below is a chart of my system indicators, when it is negative, I have cause for concern. I'm still in the C Fund for April, but I am wary of the next few months. I can explain election cycle shocks in the market, but we are not really in the election cycle yet. A couple of issues that are on my mind and possible impacts: Brexit (low-market has priced it in), China trade war (low-priced in and the US seems to still have the upper hand), Border Crisis (medium-closing the border with Mexico would have an impact), Overall economy (medium-signs are showing reduced GDP although it is still very positive, but the trend is important, oil price increase, and unknown impact of the floods in the Midwest). Keep investing! https://www.tspcoach.com/April-2019-Blog.jpg
