Franklin is the final scheduled portfolio review for 2024. Instead of a Santa Clause rally we appear to merit only lumps of coal. Is the market “girding its loins” for four years of chaos? As I mentioned some time ago, we are likely to see some buying opportunities in the near future. Several limit orders […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review: 27 December 2024
It was a rather uneventful week in the US Equity markets with relatively low volume as a consequence of the holidays. However, the SPX (S&P 500 Index) did manage to close the week ~0.5% higher than last week’s close despite a weak day on Friday: We are still in the middle of the uptrend channel […]
Millikan Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 27 December 2024
We are fast closing out 2024. The year is ending in a whimper as the Santa Claus rally did not materialize. At least not for the ITA portfolios. The Millikan is one Sector BPI portfolio to watch as the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) nearly matches the SPY benchmark IRR. The Millikan currently holds three […]
Kepler Asset Allocation Portfolio: 23 December 2024
Merry Christmas Kepler is the last portfolio to be reviewed before Christmas. This data is accurate as of the 23rd. The owner of this portfolio needed cash during the recent bull market or not the best time to sell assets. Now the portfolio needs to be replenished over the next few years. If the volatility […]
Bohr Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 20 December 2024

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 2): 20 December 2024
Mr Powell seems to be the Grinch who stole Christmas and blocked Santa’s rally to the 6200 level. Investors did not react well to Mr Powell’s statements that there might only be two rate cuts next year and US markets dropped close to 4% following his comments before recovering some of this on Friday: However, […]
Bullish Percent Indicator Data: 20 December 2024
The waiting is over as the market decline this week pushed two sectors into the oversold zone. In addition to the two recommended purchases there is a third sector on the brink of an oversold condition. In the next screenshot readers will see that the major indexes took a huge hit this week as the […]
Copernicus Portfolio Review: 19 December 2024
Keep it simple is the philosophy of the Copernicus portfolio. Invest only in U.S. Equities such as VOO and VTI and never sell unless there is an emergency. Keep cash levels low and expenses to a minimum. One reason for including ESGV as part of the portfolio is to purchase shares if the remaining cash […]
