Franklin shed 40 shares of Energy (VDE) this morning as the market plunged lower. In the following Sector BPI Model readers will see how well the Franklin is performing with respect to its benchmark.

January 18, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Pauling is the Dual Momentum™ portfolio scheduled for an update this morning.

January 12, 2023 By Lowell Herr

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.
