Buying Guidelines For BPI Model Portfolios: 9 December 2022

December 9, 2022 By Lowell Herr

BPI Model buying guidelines.  Two of the sixteen portfolios I track here on the ITA blog are now managed using the Bullish Percent Indicator (BPI) Model.  They are:  Carson and Franklin.  Thus far there have been few buying opportunities as the U.S. Equities market is in a mini-bull phase.  It may turn into a full […]

McClintock Portfolio Review: 23 November 2022

November 23, 2022 By Lowell Herr

Of all the Dual Momentum™ portfolios, the McClintock stands out as the top performer.  The exact reason remains somewhat of a mystery.  I attribute the excellent performance to the luck-of-review-day as the operational model is the same for all the DM portfolios. Based on five years of data with four different Dual Momentum (DM) portfolios, […]

New Carson Launched: 4 November 2022

November 4, 2022 By Lowell Herr

Welcome to the new Carson portfolio.  With the advent of the Carson we add another investing model to our arsenal.  With few exceptions, ITA portfolios operate on the premise that momentum is a sound foundation for constructing portfolios.  The Carson is quite different in that it can be classified as a contrary investing model.  With […]

Carson Portfolio: Creating A New Investing Model – Sector BPI

November 3, 2022 By Lowell Herr

Coming sometime over the next two month is a new investing model.  I’ll classify it as a Bullish Percent Indicator ETF Sector Model.  I’ve hinted at this approach from time to time, but have not laid out the investing strategy in detail.  I have no back-testing to support this model so be cautious if you […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 19 October 2022

October 19, 2022 By Lowell Herr

Copernicus is the portfolio on the dock for updating this morning.  While performance is disappointing, this portfolio will eventually recover as new money is adding U.S. Equity shares at ever lower prices.  This is what the young investor needs to consider.  As stated before, young savers are hoping for a decline in market prices, assuming […]

On1 Photo RAW Hints: 6 October 2022

October 6, 2022 By Lowell Herr

For ease of post-processing photographs, I find On1 Photo RAW and Luminar Neo to be among the easiest and most powerful tools available.  I recently canceled my subscription to Adobe as I found I was using Lightroom less and less.  If you love Lightroom CC, stick with it as it does a great job of […]

Checking Up On McClintock: 5 October 2022

October 5, 2022 By Lowell Herr

Updating the McClintock generated a surprise as I expected the Dual Momentum™ model would follow the recommendation we observed for both the Franklin and Pauling portfolios which was to invest 100% of the portfolio in U.S. Equities.  Not so with the McClintock as the recommendation is to go with U.S. Bonds (BND). If this were […]

I’m 25 years old and I just received my first paycheck.  What advice would you give this young person who is interested in preparing for retirement, even though it is 40 years in the future? Here are some basic words of advice. Open up a Roth IRA with a firm such as Schwab.  There is […]
