Pauling is one of two remaining Dual Momentum™ portfolios. Remaining in the sense that I moved two DM portfolios over to the Sector BPI model. The other DM portfolio is the McClintock. Of the seven (7) different investing models explained and tracked here at ITA the Dual Momentum model is the most disappointing. While […]
McClintock Portfolio Review: 4 April 2023
McClintock is one of two Dual Momentum™ portfolios tracked here at ITA. The other is the Pauling. Based on current data, we have a new recommendation this morning as the DM model recommends International Equities. To include Emerging Market Equities I use VEU as the investable ETF to fill this asset class.
Pauling Dual Momentum Portfolio Review: 25 April 2023
Pauling, a Dual Momentum™ style portfolio, is the account up for review this morning. Either the model is deficient or I’ve not managed it well. The end result is that the Pauling is one of the worst performers tracked here at ITA. I will work with the model for a few more months or even […]
McClintock Dual Momentum Portfolio Review: 1 May 2023
McClintock is one of two Dual Momentum™ portfolios tracked here at ITA. Both DM portfolios (McClintock and Pauling) are under close observation due to declining performance as readers will see in a moment. Dual Momentum™ is an investing model based on two momentum principles, Absolute and Relative. Three basic asset classes are involved and they […]
McClintock Portfolio Review: 13 May 2023
McClintock, one of two Dual Momentum™ portfolios remains under close scrutiny. I’m paying close attention to return vs. benchmark and what kind of risk is involved to achieve the return. I assume most readers are familiar with the DM investing model as it has been around for a number of years. Dual Momentum™ is one […]
Pauling Dual Momentum Portfolio Review: 18 May 2023
In contrast to the Copernicus the Pauling Dual Momentum™ portfolio requires a little more work to manage. Since decisions are required there is a greater probability of messing up the portfolio, thus reducing returns. Is the model weak or are lack of results due to a incompetent manager? That is the question.
Pauling Dual Momentum Portfolio Review: 30 May 2023
Pauling is the Dual Momentum™ portfolio up for review this morning and while the data is current as of 5/26/23, I don’t think today’s action will alter the recommendation shown in the first screenshot. As mentioned before, the Pauling is on notice due to poor performance. Part of this is my fault as I’ve held […]
McClintock Portfolio Review: 1 August 2023
McClintock is the portfolio scheduled for review as we open up August. Think of this data current as of July 31 rather than August 1st. Over the past year I’ve consolidated the number of ETF options from nearly 40 down to ten. From the ten I prefer to invest in only five (5) at any […]
