Unless there is some change during the last 30 minutes of trading today; our house doesn't expect to find any mix we have end with a positive.
FOMC minutes report was not welcomed by either the equity or bond kids. I found one report and will get some time to post a link. Others may add what they find, if you so choose.

    "What'chu talkin' about Willis". I was up plenty good by day's end.

    The S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index was up today. I have always recommended the 400 over the S&P 500 long-term. I have about 25% of my capital appreciation portfolio in IJH.

    One day never makes a market, always stocks up and down. I never learn anything worth knowing. Maybe I'm just dumb.

    My PFE was down with the Dow. Bonds up: MAINX and PREMX. For the day, I was DOWN -0.29%. Can't say I'm full of panic. It's just one day. And when the "bottom fell out" this afternoon, it only confirmed what I've become convinced of: Mr. Market is behaving like a whipsaw, depending on particular, discreet events, such as the FOMC meeting. This Market is NOT behaving according to anything that you might call "fundamentals."

    I will very soon be starting a position in DODIX and MSCFX. I NEED a more tame, conservative bond position like DODIX. The other is a small-cap. I held PRSVX for a long time but it just got stale to me. The statistics for that fund do look good indeed, however---particularly since we're beyond the horrors of '08. And since my 403b is done and rolled-over into a Trad. IRA, I'm not "married" to TRP the way I used to be.
