What a day for the market as we built upon Tuesday’s gains. We had a lot of help from energy names with crude oil jumping to a $47 handle a forte an OPEC deal on a production freeze was announced. There is still more work to be down from the S&P 500 and Dow, but today’s move helps out quite a bit. Our stocks continue to act very well and our portfolio is benefiting greatly with our focus on our process rather than what we think about this market. Stick with the process and watch your account grow!

While crude oil was the big headline of the day we were bombarded with Fed speak beginning with Yellen testifying in front of the house. As we know the Fed is very data driven and their policy will largely depend on economic data. We have 2 more jobs reports until the Election and it will be interesting to see if we get blow out jobs numbers. Big numbers will certainly push the Fed in the direction of s rate hike. Something to watching the coming weeks. Of course our eyes will be glued to our triggers and respond accordingly.

Stay the course. There is no need to make this more complicated than it needs to be. We have a favorable market and we must take advantage of it!

Enjoy!
