Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 4): 29 April 2022 1

The 420 price level has been a strong and significant support level for SPY (representing US Equity markets) a number of times in the first four months of 2022:

Price still seems to be tracking the bearish regression line (D3-D) that I drew a few weeks ago and, if we get any follow-through next week I don’t see a lot of support until we get to 400 (D). This would be threatening a ~20% drawdown from the beginning of the year. Implied Volatility is still on the rise indicating a high degree of uncertainty.

Let’s check on how equities have performed relative to other asset classes:

This is a little disconcerting since it means that the inverse correlation between equities and bonds has broken down – and everyone is fleeing to the exits. This is a common feature of “stressed” markets – when we need it most, asset diversification doesn’t help us.

How has the Rutherford portfolio held up?:

So let’s see what the BHS model is recommending:

Checking the rotation graphs:
