The Franklin is not scheduled for a full review. I want to begin the March risk ratios so this is an update for this Sector BPI portfolio. Checking the Bullish Percent Indicators (BPI) data this morning, nothing significant changed. Utilities continues to be over-sold and that is the sole sector that is under the waterline.

Bohr Portfolio Review: 7 March 2023
Bohr is an income/growth portfolio of which there are two. The other portfolio following this model is the Bethe portfolio.

Carson Portfolio Update: 6 March 2023
Carson is one of the first portfolios I converted to the Sector BPI model. Thus far it is working quite well, but it is still much too early to draw any viable conclusions. As with the Millikan, we are checking in on Utilities (VPU) to make sure the Carson is holding a full (15%) in […]
Millikan Portfolio Update: 7 March 2023

The Portfolio is currently holding 25 CEFs with an estimated annual […]
Gauss Portfolio Review: 4 March 2023
Based on the BPI data from this past week, nothing is required of the Gauss Portfolio. As you see in the first slide below, Utilities (VPU) calls for a 15% position and the current position percentage is 14.9%. Utilities is the single sector in the over-sold zone.
Kahneman-Tversky Portfolio Review: 3 March 2023
The Kahneman-Tversky Portfolio is a simple Dual Momentum (DM) Portfolio that needs little adjustment/management. The choice is to invest in only one of three ETFs or move to Cash (or SHY). The only “complexity” comes from the fact that the portfolio is split into two portions that use different look-back periods to measure Momentum. Performance […]

A […]
