Partial Remains of Hadrian’s Wall – a 73 Mile Fortress of the Roman Empire across the North of England US equity markets were quiet again this week remaining in consolidation mode around the 6100 level in the SPX (S&P 500 Index): Prices closed ~1% lower than last week’s close but Santa still has a couple […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 4): 6 December 2024
It was a relatively quiet week in the US Equity markets but the SPX (S&P 500 Index) eased through the 6000 resistance level and edged slightly higher for yet another week, closing at ~6090: In terms of relative performance, US Equities (as represented by VTI) closed in the middle of the pack with Emerging Markets […]
Copernicus Portfolio Review: 4 December 2024
Next to the Schrodinger the Copernicus is the easiest portfolio to manage as it is an all equity account using VOO and VTI as the primary investment securities. By focusing on equities such as VOO the goal is to keep pace with the S&P 500 index or SPY, the index ETF. Thus far the portfolio […]
Schrodinger Portfolio Update: 2 December 2024
November was an excellent month for the Schrodinger as it increased more than 5% during this period. For new readers to the ITA blog, the Schrodinger is based with Schwab and is known as an Intelligent Portfolio. I refer to this type of portfolio as a Robo Advisor portfolio as it is managed by a […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 3): 29 November 2024
It was a holiday-shortened week in the US equity markets but stocks followed the seasonal bullish trend often seen over the days going into Thanksgiving: The SPX (S&P 500 Index) was up ~1.4% from last week’s close and is sitting at 6032 and re-testing the psychologically significant 6000 resistance level. If Santa gives the market […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 2): 22 November 2024
US equities recovered from last week’s pullback and bounced to test the 6000 level in the SPX (S&P 500 Index): Prices were up ~2% from last week’s close and this placed US Equities near the top of the asset classes in terms of relative oerformance, although beaten out of the top spots by Gold and […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 4): 8 November 2024
As investors we have to ignore the polititians and focus on the impact of policy on the markets. Obviously, Trump’s victory is seen positively by the majority of investors as being good for the markets – at least for now. Last week I suggested that if we broke above the 5800 resistance zone in the […]
Copernicus Portfolio Review: 8 November 2024
Copernicus is one of my favorite portfolios for young investors or someone who has a 15-year or longer investment horizon. The philosophy behind the Copernicus is to invest in U.S. Equities and never sell unless there is an emergency. Since the portfolio invests only in U.S. Equities the S&P 500 is an appropriate benchmark. The […]
Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 4 November 2024
Schrodinger is a portfolio I continually tout for investors not interested in spending time on their investment portfolio. Schwab does it all using computer algorithms. Answer a few questions, invest your money and Schwab will set up an Intelligent Portfolio based on your answers. With the Schrodinger I’ve requested the computers emphasize U.S. Equities and […]
Hawking Portfolio Review: 1 November, 2024
It has been three months since I last reviewed the Hawking Portfolio and it has continued to churn out over $1,000 per month in dividends/distributions. The portfolio is essentially a Buy-and-Hold portfolio, although some actions might be taken that could benefit the performance of the portfolio (see below for an example). Current holdings in the […]
