US equities showed strong performance over the past week – particularly in the last 2 days: and price seems to be moving nicely in the uptrend channel that began last October. However, although we seem to be through the 50% retracement line at ~4150 we have still not closed above the February high of ~4200 […]

As I have mentioned in recent reviews of the Rutherford Portfolio I have to take money out of this retirement account so, following last week’s review of Tranche 5, I have “retired” Tranche 5 and adjusted the other 4 tranches to $19,000 each – or a total portfolio value of $76,000.

US equities continued to confirm their bullish trend over the past week although they could not close above the 4300 mark: 4300 is the 61.8% Fibonnaci retracement level from the October 2022 lows to the prior January 2022 all-time high.

After last week’s pre-holiday fireworks the celebrations fizzed out after the holiday and US equities closed down ~1% lower than last week’s close: Another re-test of the 4300 level would not surprise me – but then it’s anyone’s guess where we might go from there. Since we are getting towards mid-summer a sideways market into […]
