Bullish Percent Indicators: 21 April 2023

April 22, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Bullish Percent Indicators experienced few changes this week as it was a rather quiet period for U.S. Equities.  Several Sector BPI Plus portfolios are up for review this week so I’ll be alert to any changes that might occur within the Sector BPI portion of the BPI spreadsheet. Index BPI No indexes are either oversold […]

Portfolio Management When Facing Debt Limit Differences

April 22, 2023 By Lowell Herr

The potential for a debt limit crisis is only a few months away.  While the root causes are subject to debate, arguing history while therapeutic does little in the way of providing guidance when it comes to portfolio management.  How might one work with different portfolios, assuming readers of ITA are using a variety of […]

Franklin Sector BPI Update: 18 April 2023

April 18, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Franklin is one of four Sector BPI portfolios.  Perhaps I should title these portfolios, Sector BPI Plus as each now contains more than the eleven (11) sector ETFs in an effort to patch one of the potential holes in the Sector BPI hypothesis.  Past sector blogs explain in more detail the flaw in the Sector […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 4): 14 April 2023

April 15, 2023 By hedgehunter

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. However, price is at the 50% retracement level of the peak-trough range of this channel that has provided significant support and resistance in the past. We really need to take out […]

Franklin Portfolio Update With A Bard Example: 12 April 2023

April 12, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Franklin (named for Rosalind of DNA fame) is the portfolio scheduled for an update this morning.  Moments ago I checked the latest Sector BPI data and Utilities (VPU) remains in the overbought zone.  The recommendation is to place a 3% Trailing Stop Loss Order (TSLO) under VPU, assuming investors are holding that ETF in their […]

Darwin Portfolio Review: 6 April 2023

April 8, 2023 By hedgehunter

The Darwin Portfolio is a “Buy-And-Hold” portfolio of assets that is only adjusted when allocations fall out-of-line with recommendations based on risk parity (i.e. equal risk on all holdings). Performance to date (~4 months from inception) looks like this: or, in stacked format: because of the adjustments these plots are a little difficult to follow […]
