September 30, 2023 By hedgehunter

Last week US equities closed at ~4320 and sitting at the top of a potential support zone (4150-4300). The question was whether we would see support at this level (and a bounce) or whether we would see a continuation of the short-term downtrend that … [Read more]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 26 September 2023

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 12 September 2023

September 12, 2023 By Lowell Herr
