Splitting Portfolio Into Multiple Parts

May 23, 2016 By Lowell Herr

Reducing portfolio risk is at the forefront of investor thinking after a flat market in 2015.  Momentum principles, as laid out in the Kipling 2.5.1 spreadsheet, do not always work as well as preferred, due in part to the 33-day portfolio review waiting period.  We see the rankings change when we use 12 Portfolio Offsets.  […]

Music Recommendations For Easter

March 27, 2016 By Lowell Herr

Easter Music Selections St. Matthew Passion and St. John Passion are two pieces of music that quickly come to mind during this Easter season.  While the St. Matthew is the more popular with many listeners, my favorite is the St. John, as there are several familiar choruses.
