The Dirac Portfolio was launched a little over 2 months ago to try to capture possible benefits from sector rotations within the US Equity markets. As such the S&P 500 is taken as the benchmark index with SPY as the representative ETF benchmark. To date, performance looks like this: with an Internal Rate of Return […]

Rutherford-Darwin Portfolio Review: 29 August 2025
After finally pushing through the 6500 resistance zone and reaching new all-time highs on Thursday, US equities pulled back on Friday to change the week below this level and almost unchanged from last week’s close:
Einstein Portfolio Review: 29 August 2025
The Einstein portfolio is likely the last account to be updated in August. This morning I sold shares of VOO and SCHD and invested in short-term treasuries, SHV. I also place a buy order for a few shares of SCHD at 5% below the current price. As dividends and new cash come in I will […]
Millikan Portfolio Review: 28 August 2025
Lest this sound like a scratched or broken record, the Millikan is another portfolio where I am shifting from equities to a capital preservation short-term treasury, SHV. While the Millikan currently holds shares in SCHD and VOO, I have TSLOs under both securities and if sold the proceeds will be invested in SHV. I am […]
Bethe Portfolio Review: 25 August 2025
Bethe is another mini-asset allocation portfolio up for review. If you have been reading this blog for any length of time you know I am leaning more and more toward capital preservation. This interview with Howard Marks only tilts me further in this direction. Pay particular attention to the S&P 500 statistics around the 5:50 […]
Gauss Portfolio Review: 25 August 2025
Gauss is another mini-asset allocation portfolio where only a few ETFs are used to populate the account. In keeping with a “preserve capital” attitude, I have limit orders in place to sell shares of VOO and SCHD. With SCHD I split the sell orders. One order is set to sell approximately one-half the shares at […]
Rutherford-Darwin Portfolio Review: 22 August 2025
In reaction to the Fed’s indication of probable interest rate cuts in September, investors pushed the markets higher on Friday, but the SPX (S&P 500 Index) closed only slightly (~0.25%) higher than last week’s close and was not able to penetrate the ~6450 resistance level and/or reach new highs, and we remain in a sideways […]
Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 21 August 2025
Once more it is time to review or update the Schrodinger portfolio. This Robo Advisor portfolio continues to perform very well despite the large percentage held in cash. Should we experience a major draw-down, it will be interesting to see how the Schwab computers manage this account. Will they begin to invest the cash and […]
