We start off the New Year with the following picture of performance for the Kahneman-Tversky (K-T) Portfolio through 2022: The portfolio showed less volatility than the benchmark AOR Fund but returns were slightly lower with a ~16% draw-down on the year. This compares with a drop of ~19% in US equities over the same period. […]

Huygens Portfolio Review: 9 January 2023
Huygens is one of the income portfolios that is constructed around Closed-End-Funds. It is best to use this approach with tax deferred accounts as much of the growth is tied to dividends. This is a relative new investing model here at ITA and as such the model is under performance notice. In other words, I […]
Darwin Portfolio Review: 6 January 2023
The Darwin Portfolio is a relatively inert portfolio in that all assets in the portfolio quiver are held continuously (Buy-and-Hold) in allocations designed to keep the risk from each asset at defined levels as calculated from volatility measurements over time.

Gauss Portfolio Update: 6 January 2023
Gauss, a former Relative Momentum portfolio, is the Sector BPI Model account up for review or update this morning.

That was very important this morning as Energy (VDE) moved above the 30% threshold or what is the over-sold […]
Franklin Portfolio Update: 5 January 2023
Franklin is another Sector BPI portfolio and one I would have passed over this week were it not for a recommended change. Follow along with the logic below.
Kepler Portfolio Review: 4 January 2023
Kepler, one of two remaining Relative Momentum portfolios, is the account up for review today. This review comes at a time when the U.S. Congress is a mess and we have concerns such disruptions may work their way into the financial markets. Readers will note the cautious approach when working with portfolios such as the […]
