Where Did All The Posts Go?

March 9, 2021 By Lowell Herr

If you are pondering over where all the blog posts went, here is an explanation as best I am able to reconstruct.  I was in the process of deleting old portfolio reviews from back in 2013 through 2015 as they were no longer useful.  I was doing this in preparation of setting up a new […]

Is There an Advantage in Splitting a Portfolio into Tranches? – Part 3: REDA Groups with Heikin-Ashi Filter

May 4, 2017 By Lowell Herr

In my last post in this series (https://itawealth.com/advantage-splitting-portfolio-tranches-part-2-reda-groups/) I looked at the performance of a “Rutherford” portfolio where we would equally allocate funds to assets that were classified in the top 3 groups of the REDA rankings.
