Regular readers of this blog will be aware that I have been trying to define a model that might use data generated from calculations of momentum/relative strength that generates “rotational” graphs that look like this: Where we see a general clockwise rotation of momentum over time (the length of the tail).

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 1): 26 August 2022
A bad week for US equities with a 3.8% weekly decline in prices: Most of the damage came on Friday following announcements from the Jackson Hole Economic Conference and we have tentatively broken through the lower boundary of the recent bullish channel. I have drawn the boundaries of a potential new downtrend channel but this […]
Bullish Percent Indicators: 26 August 2022
Friday’s sell-off did not impact the Bullish Percent Indicators as expected. As ITA readers will see in a moment, many of the index and market sectors held up better than I expected. It takes more than one disappointing day to move broad sections of U.S. Equities into the over-sold zone where over-sold is defined when […]

While the Kipling spreadsheet is used to keep track of the asset allocations, it is not used in the same way […]

Retirement may be 40 years away. Now is exactly the time to begin planning for retirement and the Schrodinger is an excellent […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 5): 19 August 2022
The markets took a breather this week. Although US equities remain well within their upward channel there was a pullback from near the top of the channel to the center: If prices continue the pullback we are likely to see support at ~417 that has been an area of strong support/resistance in the past.
