Bullish Percent Indicators: 11 April 2025

April 12, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Based on the high volatility of the U.S. Equities market this week I thought it expedient to post the latest Bullish Percent Indicator (BPI) data.  For those not familiar with BPI graphs, it is an entirely different way to plot price movements of stocks, ETFs, or in this case market indexes and market sectors.  The […]

Carson Portfolio Update: 10 April 2025

April 9, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  The following data was scheduled for publication at least one day ago, but I was distracted due to the market plunge.  This portfolio is the oldest of the Sector BPI portfolios, but it has not been through a volatile market such as we have experienced over the last few days. As I mentioned when […]

Franklin Portfolio Update: 8 April 2025

April 8, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Stay the course.  Stick with the investment plan.  That is the advice I am following with the Franklin Sector BPI portfolio in this update.  Shares of SHV were sold to raise cash in order to populate the sectors currently in the oversold zone.  Today’s strong market is most likely a “dead cat bounce.”  Market action […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 28 March 2025

March 28, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

With this portfolio review of the Copernicus comes a few adjustments.  I am adding SCHD to the existing asset classes and altering the recommended percentages to invest in each.  No plans are in the works to sell off any securities that are over target.  Instead, new cash and dividends will be used to gradually build […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 19 March 2025

March 19, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

There was snow on the ground when the Carson was last reviewed.  Now here we are in the Spring of 2025 and it is time to update this Sector BPI portfolio.  In this volatile market we are testing the proposition that sectors that hit the oversold zone will rebound faster than the broad market as […]

Gauss Portfolio Review: 18 March 2025

March 18, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Gauss is another simplified asset allocation portfolio.  The goal is to concentrate on three asset classes with a fourth (SHV) used to house cash.  The portfolio is very cost effective as the expense ratios are very low. A broad market ETF where VOO fits the bill.  Expense ratio is 3 basis points. A growth ETF […]
