Bullish Percent Indicators: 13 January 2023
Friday, the 13th of January, brings changes to those managing a Sector BPI portfolio. Energy, Financial, and Real Estate all moved into the over-bought zone this week. All major indexes are bullish. None of the indexes penetrated the over-bought zone, but the NASDAQ is getting close. We see a big percentage jump in Technology which […]

Franklin Portfolio Update: 12 January 2023
Updating the BPI sector data this morning I find all sector ETFs continue to reside between the 30% and 70% bullish zones although Energy (VDE) is approaching the 70% bullish zone. Another one or two good days and it will be necessary to place a 3% TSLO on VDE.

Millikan Portfolio Update: 10 January 2023
Millikan, one of four Sector BPI portfolios, is the model up for review this morning. This portfolio previously was managed using the BHS/Relative Momentum model and was not performing as expected. I just checked and it ranked #14 based on IRR data and is now #8. There are a number of portfolios grouped close together […]
Kahneman-Tversky Portfolio Review: 9 January, 2023
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. […]
