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 is most likely a “dead cat bounce.” Market action […]
Bullish Percent Indicators: 4 April 2025
“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” – H. L.

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 28 March 2025

Millikan Portfolio Review: 20 March 2025
