I will start this post with my usual weekly look at US Equity markets through the eyes of the S&P 500 Index (SPX): where we see that, after starting the week strongly on Monday, the markets deteriorated badly going into the end of the week. We are now sitting on that neckline support/resistance line that […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Part 2 – Options): 6 January 2025
After making a mandatory ~$20,000 withdrawal from the Rutherford Portfolio, that I had been managing using a strict momentum model, I was left with ~$70,000 for future investment. Going forward into 2025, and beyond, I plan to split these funds into 3 portions. In Part 1 of this series (https://itawealth.com/rutherford-portfolio-review-part-1-3-january-2025/), I outlined how I plan […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Part 1 – Darwin): 3 January 2025
Although this post is titled “Rutherford Portfolio Review” it is not really a review of the portfolio that I have reported on in the past as I have (officially) closed that portfolio down in order to document how it is possible to manage relatively simple diversified portfolios in different ways. The appeal of a portfolio […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review: 27 December 2024
It was a rather uneventful week in the US Equity markets with relatively low volume as a consequence of the holidays. However, the SPX (S&P 500 Index) did manage to close the week ~0.5% higher than last week’s close despite a weak day on Friday: We are still in the middle of the uptrend channel […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 2): 20 December 2024
Mr Powell seems to be the Grinch who stole Christmas and blocked Santa’s rally to the 6200 level. Investors did not react well to Mr Powell’s statements that there might only be two rate cuts next year and US markets dropped close to 4% following his comments before recovering some of this on Friday: However, […]

Partial Remains of Hadrian’s Wall – a 73 Mile Fortress of the Roman Empire across the North of England US equity markets were quiet again this week remaining in consolidation mode around the 6100 level in the SPX (S&P 500 Index): Prices closed ~1% lower than last week’s close but Santa still has a couple […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 4): 6 December 2024
It was a relatively quiet week in the US Equity markets but the SPX (S&P 500 Index) eased through the 6000 resistance level and edged slightly higher for yet another week, closing at ~6090: In terms of relative performance, US Equities (as represented by VTI) closed in the middle of the pack with Emerging Markets […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 3): 29 November 2024
It was a holiday-shortened week in the US equity markets but stocks followed the seasonal bullish trend often seen over the days going into Thanksgiving: The SPX (S&P 500 Index) was up ~1.4% from last week’s close and is sitting at 6032 and re-testing the psychologically significant 6000 resistance level. If Santa gives the market […]
