December 25, 2021 By Lowell Herr

Merry Christmas Sending Season Greetings to all ITA readers.  Let’s hope for and plan on a less stressful 2022, although it will be difficult to repeat the 2021 bull market.

Photo Enhancement: Where Condors Soar

November 7, 2021 By Lowell Herr

On a recent trip to Southern California, when traveling south on Route #101, the GPS recommended moving off #101 and taking a more mountainous road, Route #154.  Intuitively, this seemed like a false recommendation.  Why leave a four-lane highway for a winding two lane road.  Route #154 is actually shorter than if one remains on […]

If Only I Had Been Smart Enough …..

November 6, 2021 By hedgehunter

In my recent Rutherford Review Post I spent a little time describing some of the features of Fibonacci Technical Analysis. I mentioned that I don’t usually use this analysis for Investment purposes (other than, maybe, to help me set stop loss orders) but that I sometimes use it for other “trades”. For fun, since I […]

In a recent comment (https://itawealth.com/huygens-portfolio-review-4-october-2021/#comment-31289) an ITA member asked us for our thoughts on an article entitled  “8 Reasons Why I’m Not a Dividend Income Investor”. Before addressing these “8 Reasons” I first want to re-iterate the point that we make all the time on this site – no single system will perform better than […]

September 21, 2021 By Lowell Herr

“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” – Ansel Adams By 2022 WordPress developers will no longer support the classic WordPress editor.

Walking Among Ponderosa Pine

September 1, 2021 By Lowell Herr
