Even if you glance at the chart above, you can see we have mixed signals. We have a new FED stepping into the office, and we all know what the administration wants, and now we will see if they get it. My concern is some of the signals I am seeing on various charts.

So let’s get to it.

Traders are worried about inflation + rates + energy costs all at once.

It could be a challenging day today.

When your primary indicator is rising but behind the scenes there is something brewing, should we be concerned?

After reading a few articles and threads from professional traders, I found that their mentality toward the current market is represented in the picture here. However, one aspect remains clear: tech is rolling. If the tech sector is performing well, then the Magnificent Seven stocks are also performing well, and if the Magnificent Seven stocks are performing well, so is the S&P 500.

Let me show you the Vanguard tech fund:

It will be very difficult this year to match the result from 2025. Last year I earned 5.47% for the month of May. So to maintain the 12-month or 1-year result you see on the right side of this page if you are on a computer or iPad-type device, it is going to be hard. If you are on an iPhone or Android device, you will have to scroll down until you find “Actual TSP returns.” I will always accept a 21.43% return over a 12-month period, and I hope this trend continues.

This weekend’s post will be brief and straightforward, so let’s begin:

It was a pretty wild month, and it was obvious that the NASDAQ or tech won the month. Today was a good day that erased the negative for the week.

Here comes May, and if we do not see a major collapse tomorrow, we will escape April with a gain. Do you remember May of 2025? What will this May bring us?

What a confusing market; I think us small investors and even the professionals are scrambling to make sense of it. Some indicators are still saying there is no way that this market should be rising, but here we are, making all-time highs. There is one group in particular that is ripping to the upside and dragging one of our TSP funds with it.

Regarding our current news, I will simply state: Concerning.

We just witnessed an event that has never happened since 1928.

Levels are holding, so I spent my second move for the month of April.
