Kepler Portfolio Review: 15 June 2023
Kepler is the portfolio up for review this morning and major changes are in the making as readers will see in a moment. I’m reworking the Investment Quiver for both the Kepler and Einstein in hopes of improving the return for the risk taken. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of the Kepler is not […]
Kepler Portfolio Review: 12 June 2023
Kepler is one of the few portfolios scheduled for review this week. When a portfolio ranks at the bottom of the list when it comes to the return/risk ratio, it is time to make a change.

Gauss Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 10 June 2023
As mentioned in the Bullish Percent Indicator data update this morning, I discussed the possibility of “tweaking” one or more of the Sector BPI Plus portfolios.

McClintock and Pauling are the two remaining portfolio managed using the Dual Momentum™ model. Since the last McClintock review I moved the look-back period back to the “default” settings of 60- and 100-trading days. This information shows up in the first screenshot below. Check the red arrow.
Pay Attention to Fees: 8 June 2023
While I’ve written about management fees in prior blogs, it is useful to think about them again as fees can easily leave an “endowment” on the doorstep of an active manager. A few readers will remember load funds where the cost to gain access to a fund cost 8.5%. While those days are long gone, […]
