Carson Portfolio Update: 10 April 2025

April 9, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  The following data was scheduled for publication at least one day ago, but I was distracted due to the market plunge.  This portfolio is the oldest of the Sector BPI portfolios, but it has not been through a volatile market such

Franklin Portfolio Update: 8 April 2025

April 8, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Stay the course.  Stick with the investment plan.  That is the advice I am following with the Franklin Sector BPI portfolio in this update.  Shares of SHV were sold to raise cash in order to populate the sectors currently in the oversold zone.  Today’s strong market

Moving Average Convergence/Divergence Indicator (MACD)

March 16, 2025 By Lowell Herr 6 Comments

Back in the 1970s I learned of Gerald Appel and his Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) technical indicator.  Appel published and sold a pamphlet explaining the MACD model and how to calculate it on a Texas Instrument calculator.  This was a time just before personal computers
