Copernicus Portfolio Review: 3 May 2023

May 3, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Based on yesterday’s market decline, today seemed like a good time to check in on the Copernicus as this portfolio is constructed only of U.S. Equities.  The philosophy behind the Copernicus is to save and invest.  Never sell unless there is an emergency.  How is this portfolio performing on a return and risk basis?  When […]

Carson Sector BPI Plus Portfolio Review: 1 May 2023

May 1, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Other than this being the first day of the month, this review or update of the Carson is an interesting one as Discretionary (VCR) was sufficiently close to a sale that I purged the Carson of this ETF.  Telecom is still oversold so I added more shares of VOX and have limit orders to purchase […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 1): 28 April 2023

April 30, 2023 By hedgehunter

A relatively uneventful week in US equites, despite the high day-to-day volatility, with the SPX (S&P 500 Index) up a little over 0.5% from last week’s close: The index is still banging its head against the 50% retracement resistance zone that has been difficult to penetrate a number of times over the past few months. […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 5): 21 April 2023

April 22, 2023 By hedgehunter

It was a very quiet week in US Equity markets with the S&P 500 Index trading in a tight ~40 point range: However, the SPX did close down slightly from last week’s close after hitting it’s head against strong resistance at ~4150-4200 – an area that has shown strong support/resistance in the past (arrows). In […]

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 […]
