US Equities had another strong week with the S&P 500 Index up close to 2% on the week and ~7.7% in the month from the closing price on 31 December 2022: We have now taken out the prior December high at 4100 and closed above this level – so we could tentatively call a valid […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 3): 27 January 2023
It was a bullish week for US equities with the SPX up over 2.6% on the week: and touching (but not closing above) the 4100 level that might indicate a reversal of the 2022 downtrend. In terms of relative strength, US equities outperformed all other major asset classes except for US Real estate: Current holdings […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 2): 20 January 2023
It’s the year of the Rabbit and we’re hopping around tentatively trying to find a direction for the markets in 2023: I’ve updated the trend channels in the above figure, since these are somewhat discretionary, but it is not clear whether we are still in a downtrend (sitting at the top of the downtrend channel) […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 1): 13 January 2023
It was a bullish week for US equities with the SPX (S&P 500 Index) up ~ 3% on the week: After retracing 50% from the Early December highs we have bounced and could be on our way to new highs at ~4400 if we can take out the previous high of 4100 that will likely […]

The composition of the current portfolio looks like this: with performance over the past 2 years looking like this: i.e. returns have stayed consistently ahead of […]
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. […]
Darwin Portfolio Review: 6 January 2023
The Darwin Portfolio is a relatively inert portfolio in that all assets in the portfolio quiver are held continuously (Buy-and-Hold) in allocations designed to keep the risk from each asset at defined levels as calculated from volatility measurements over time. Throughout most of 2022 I had this risk level set to a rather high level […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 5): 6 January 2023
The first week of 2023 was a short 4-day week for trading in US Equities and was a relatively quiet week before we saw a 100-point range day on Friday: However, we are still sitting in no-man’s land and looking for direction. Although US equities closed the week ~1.5% higher from the 2022 close they […]
