Investors nervous again

Stocks moved modestly lower yesterday, but closed well off the mid-day lows.  The 7.1 earthquake in Japan yesterday sent the indices reeling during the morning trading but the Dow closed down just 17-points.


                                 

For the TSP, the C-fund fell 0.15% yesterday, the S-fund lost 0.51%, the I-fund dropped 0.32%, and the F-fund (bonds) added 0.03%. 

The S&P 500 is on pause taking a needed rest.  There is resistance above and the 20-day EMA was nearly tested yesterday.  A test of the 20-day EMA may be all that this market needs to regain the energy to breakout to new highs.  The one-week consolidation has investors nervous again, and that may be key to a possible breakout next week.

Oil is now above $110 and this is getting very concerning.  Stocks have stalled with oil up this high and whether it is related, I don't know since the stock market needed a break anyway.  But how high can oil go before stocks say 'no mas'?

Surprisingly,
the TSP Talk Sentiment Survey moved back to a buy signal just one week after the first sell signal of the year.  The 1.07 to 1 bulls (44%) to bears (41%) ratio is below the 1.25 buy level so the system's allocation moves from 100% G-Fund to 100% S-Fund, for next week.

                        


The kids are on spring break, I'm going out of town this morning, and I am ready to start my weekend so I am going to cut this short today.

Thanks for reading!  Have a great weekend.
