Darwin Portfolio Review: 2 June 2023

June 4, 2023 By hedgehunter

The Darwin Portfolio is an “All-Weather” portfolio with a dash of volatility. Performance to date (since lowering volatility target levels last November) looks like this: The large “jumps” correspond to periodic allocation adjustments to risk parity – but maybe the stacked chart is easier to follow: at least it is a little easier to see […]

Hawking Portfolio Review: 2 June 2023

June 4, 2023 By hedgehunter

The Hawking Portfolio continues to outperform the AOR benchmark Fund over the long term despite giving back a lot of it’s lead from the February highs: We are still trying to recover from the ~25% Draw-Down experienced in 2022. Current holdings look like this (apologies for the lack of Descriptive names – but Yahoo is […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 1): 2 June 2023

June 3, 2023 By hedgehunter

As I have mentioned in recent reviews of the Rutherford Portfolio I have to take money out of this retirement account so, following last week’s review of Tranche 5, I have “retired” Tranche 5 and adjusted the other 4 tranches to $19,000 each – or a total portfolio value of $76,000. I will continue to […]

Bullish Percent Indicators: 2 June 2023

June 3, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Friday’s strong market turned out to be a positive injection for the U.S. Equities market.  International ETFs benefited as well.  This reaction to the debt limit solution is reflected in the first screenshot below.  What is somewhat surprising is that approximately 50% of the stocks in the indexes are still bearish.  In other words, the […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 1 June 2023

June 1, 2023 By Lowell Herr

The Schrodinger is an excellent portfolio to lead off June as it is a “no decision” portfolio designed for investors who have no interest in the workings of the stock market.  Managed by computers at Schwab, the Schrodinger is known as a Robo Advisor account.  Schwab calls these accounts Intelligent Portfolios.  This portfolio was initially […]

Bethe Portfolio Review: 30 May 2023

May 29, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Before getting into the review of the Bethe portfolio the photo above reminds me of when Memorial Day was referred to as Decoration Day.  This was a day to decorate graves, particularly of fallen war soldiers.  Small towns celebrated the day with a parade that included the high school band, decorated bicycles, tractors, fire engines, […]

Franklin Sector BPI Plus Update: 26 May 2023

May 27, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Franklin is the Sector BPI portfolio I’m examining today.  Before progressing further I need to warn readers that Yahoo once again fiddled with their downloading codes so the Kipling data is not current.  In fact it is a week old.  This problem poses a question of what to do if the Kipling were to fail […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 4): 19 May 2023

May 20, 2023 By hedgehunter

US equities showed strong performance over the past week – particularly in the last 2 days: and price seems to be moving nicely in the uptrend channel that began last October. However, although we seem to be through the 50% retracement line at ~4150 we have still not closed above the February high of ~4200 […]

Copernicus Buy & Hold Portfolio Review: 18 May 2023

May 18, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Copernicus is the only Buy & Hold portfolio managed here on the ITA blog site.  Diversification comes from holding hundreds of companies in the United States.  If one prefers to further diversify this portfolio one would add International Equities (VEU) to the options available for purchase. Thus far the Copernicus has performed very well and […]
