It was the second straight week of trading in a narrow (~50 point) range and below the important 4600 level in the S&P 500 US Equity index (SPX) although the index did move slightly through the prior pivot high intra-day on Friday but closed slightly below it: we will wait to see whether Santa can […]

Bullish Percent Indicators: 8 December 2023
Based on Bullish Percent Indicator (BPI) data this past week was a modest success. All major indexes that cover U.S. Equities are currently positive and all sectors with one exception either held even or moved up the bullish scale.

Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 8 December 2023
This update of the Franklin will be short as only one change is in the offing and that has to do with a single sector (VHT). More on this later. The first thing I did before starting this review was to update all the sector Bullish Percent Indicators (BPI). A complete BPI post will go […]

Current holdings look like this: and performance, over the […]

The Kahneman-Tversky (K-T) Portfolio is another simple portfolio that requires very little attention and few adjustments. No adjustments have been made in the past 3 months since the last review on this site. Performance to date looks like this: where we can see that we were calm through the tumultuous July 2022 – April 2023 […]
Darwin Portfolio Review: 1 December 2023
The Darwin Portfolio is a portfolio that I try not to adjust too often and it has been 3 months since I last posted a review of this portfolio so it’s time to take a look at how it has been performing in that time period. The Darwin Portfolio uses an “All-Weather” approach and remains […]
