Congress wants to go on vacation again and they have too much to do.

They have tapped the "G" fund to keep us from defaulting on our debts, net neutrality is gone, nothing on kicking the can down the road again to prevent a shutdown and now the big tax plan is getting a little shaky.

Looks like the S Fund is up 1% today...got to think positive. Tis the Season to be Jolly

The market sure is full of surprises.

I have sent out the 2018 Excel spreadsheet to those that have requested it. If any issues please let me know.

If anyone else is interested in receiving the spreadsheet please PM me with your email address.

Friday had some strong numbers. A good way to end the week. Maybe a Santa Rally next week?

After last Thursday's crash and burn, all I can say about the last two days is WOW!!!

The "I" fund has run away with the lead for the year and the "C" fund is close behind surprisingly doing better than the "S" fund. However, the "S" fund is doing pretty good on it's own. Of course we still have 8 trading days left in the year so anything can happen.

So where do we go from here?

It was mentioned a couple years back that the "I" fund was do a breakout and it looks like 2017 was it. Does the "I" fund continue to outperform the American market for 2018? I think it has a good chance to and with the FRTIB talking about expanding the "I" fund it might be a good place to start 2018. Now whether I do that or not might be another story.

Anybody else have an opinion?

If the different government's around the world continue to buy their own stock markets then those markets will remain stable with an incentive to increase in value. On the flip side if the fed continues to tighten, the dollar will eventually start to rise against other currencies which will negate the market gains in the I fund. My uneducated opinion is the recognition of these opposed forces will occur in the second quarter, and the S fund will become the favorite child again. But what do I know

I did mention on DBA's thread as to the recent strength of the dollar, which would work against the I fund. I did a quick search and three or four articles talk to a strong dollar, but not the underlying reasons or whether it will continue. I'm thinking with the US economy improving, it will. That was one heck of a pop in the I fund yesterday though (the dollar was down that day as well).

Thank you for sending the excel spreadsheet. Appreciate it! Have a great Christmas and New Year.

I don't know much, but given pending tax bill and CRA that expires Friday...I'm more comfortable with the I Fund than S or C until the end of the year
