Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 4): 14 April 2023
US equities were up ~1% from last week’s close: and closed just outside the upper 2 SD boundary of the longer term downtrend channel.

Kahneman-Tversky Portfolio Review: 6 April 2023
The Kahneman-Tversky Portfolio is a simple Dual Momentum Portfolio where we pick only one of three assets in our investment quiver (providing they have positive momentum relative to SHY – our “risk-free” benchmark fund). The only diversification here is that we split the portfolio and use a long-term (252-day) momentum look-back period for one half […]
