OFF THE AIR NEXT WEEK

I’ll be traveling without a laptop next week, 10-14 August, so I can’t post the blog or enter data.  I’ll post tomorrow, Friday.  After that, my next post will be 16 August.  
 
I am going to play defense for the week in the TSP (retirement account) by cutting my stock allocation on Friday to:
15% - C fund (S&P 500)
15% - I fund (EFA, Euro Pacific)
70% – G fund (Cash, paying 2% risk-free)
This isn’t a recommendation – it’s just what I’m doing so I won’t even think about the stock market while I’m gone.
 
The NTSM long term indicator is currently HOLD, but the markets are unsettled and it would be nice to not think about the markets for a while.
