October 25, 2025 By Lowell Herr 9 Comments

In a few weeks I will be updating the Kepler, a portfolio populated by closed-end-funds.  Which CEFs to choose for inclusion continues to be a source of frustration.  This week I’ve been using ChatGPT as a source of help in selecting CEFs.  Today I asked ChatGPT to create a portfolio of 30 closed-end-funds where the […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 24 October 2025

Carson is one of three portfolios using the Sector BPI investing model and it is one of the better performing accounts.  Since the last update the Materials sector dropped down into the low 30% bullish zone so I jumped the gun and added 35 shares of VAW to the Carson.

October 15, 2025 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments
