Splitting Portfolio Into Multiple Parts
Reducing portfolio risk is at the forefront of investor thinking after a flat market in 2015. Momentum principles, as laid out in the Kipling 2.5.1 spreadsheet, do not always work as well as preferred, due in part to the 33-day portfolio review waiting period.

Test Notification of New Blog Posts
Several ITA readers wrote to me telling me that they are no longer receiving notifications of new blog posts. As the Sysop I log on to the site every day, but this is not convenient for all readers.

Beating the Dow With Bonds
Several years ago I wrote a review of Michael O’Higgins book, Beating the Dow With Bonds. O’Higgins made a name for himself with his Dogs of the Dow book. Both systems are filled with errors.

I’ll be the first to admit the Forum is not all that easy to use, but I have yet to find anything superior that integrates easily with WordPress, the software that is the operating system of this and many other blogs. Here are my suggestions of how to best use the Forum. On the Home […]
Debunking Dividend Fallacies
While I considered placing a reference to this dividend article in the Forum, I thought it sufficiently interesting to write a short blog on the subject. Dividends Do Not Make Up The Majority Of Long-Term Total Returns is an old Seeking Alpha article that debunks what many Dividend Growth Investors (DGI) advocate. While the article […]
Music Recommendations: Two More CDs
Sing O Ye Heavens is Moravian music. It is rare to find a CD where I rate 5 stars to nine (9) songs. The artists are the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park. Not only is the singing beautiful, but the under-girding orchestra will give your subwoofer a workout. My second recommendation this week is […]
