Reworking Pauling Portfolio: 20 November 2023

November 20, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Based on discussions found in the Comment section of the most recent BPI blog post, below is an investment quiver that may be the future of the Sector BPI Plus portfolios.  What I’ve done is to add eleven sector ETFs where these new eleven are equal-weight index securities rather than cap-weighted.  If readers wish to […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 1): 17 November 2023

November 19, 2023 By hedgehunter

After Tuesday’s strong breakout to the upside, US Equities calmed down into consolidation mode but ended the week up ~2.5% from last week’s close: I think we can say that we have broken out of the downtrend channel that we have experienced over the past 3 months and may be gearing up for Santa’s rally […]

Tweaking Sector BPI Plus Investing Model: Part II

November 18, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Sufficient additions or modifications have occurred since launching the original Sector BPI investment model that it now makes sense to summarize how one manages these portfolios.  Here is the step by step process I go through when I review or update a Sector BPI Plus portfolio. Update the BPI spreadsheet to see if there are […]

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 14 November 2023

November 14, 2023 By Lowell Herr

From one of the poorest portfolio performers (Kepler) we now shift to one of the best performers.  In addition, no particular skills are needed to manage the Copernicus, the portfolio up for review today.  Copernicus is the portfolio I highly recommend for those working full-time and have only a few minutes per month to pay […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 4): 10 November 2023

November 12, 2023 By hedgehunter

US equity markets started the week quietly but showed more volatility towards the end of the week closing up modestly from last week’s close: Although we closed slightly above resistance (and the prior high) at ~4400 we are still within the 2SD boundary of the downtrend channel – so I am not ready to call […]

Improving the Sector BPI Investing Model

November 6, 2023 By Lowell Herr

If you were paying attention to the last screenshot of the Bethe review earlier this morning, you noticed that VTI was a negative contributing factor to portfolio performance while VOO added little to the IRR value.  Only ESGV played an important role and that was likely due to the period when it was part of […]

Bethe Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 6 November 2023

November 6, 2023 By Lowell Herr

After spending the past few weeks repositioning several portfolios, Bethe being one, security transactions should decrease over the next few months.  A strong stock market last week pushed several sectors out of the oversold zone leaving only Staples and Materials as the remaining Buy options.  The Sector BPI Plus portfolios I’m tracking hold the recommended […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 3): 3 November 2023

November 5, 2023 By hedgehunter

It was a very bullish week in the US Equity markets with the SPX (S&P 500 Index) closing up 5 days in a row and ~6% higher than last week’s close: We are now sitting at the top of the 1 SD boundary of the shorter-term downtrend channel and back within the 2 SD lower […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 2): 27 October 2023

October 29, 2023 By hedgehunter

It was a bad week for US equities with the SPX (S&P 500 Index) dropping over 2.5% from last week’s close: It has also now closed below the lower 2 Standard Deviation boundary of the early 2023 bullish uptrend channel (yellow line) and the 50% retracement level of that uptrend (green line) for 2 days […]

October 28, 2023 By Lowell Herr

  Boats on the Willamette River As a follow up to the Bullish Percent Indicator (BPI) data presented earlier this morning, this review of the Carson (named after Rachel) lays out the logic an investor will use to manage a Sector BPI portfolio.  The Carson is the oldest Sector BPI Plus portfolio and therefore provides […]
