Weekly Commentary
NASDAQ Chart
The NASDAQ Comp. and S&P 500 both set further new highs this week. Nevertheless, there are signs that the bull market may be losing steam with the major indexes making more modest gains this week: the NASDAQ gained just 0.5% compared to 5.7% year-to-date.

The government shutdown is unlikely to have a major effect on the markets. During the last shutdown in 2013 the NASDAQ came out even while the S&P 500 gained 3.1%.

Of our two suggested strategies, the Buy at Open has performed the best so far.
