Kepler Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 30 April 2026

April 30, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

“The Kepler Asset Allocation Portfolio Review as of April 30, 2026, highlights the ongoing impacts of financial repression on investment strategies. In this environment, traditional asset classes exhibit altered risk-return profiles, necessitating a reevaluation of portfolio allocations. As we navigate these challenges, a strategic focus on diversifying assets becomes imperative to optimize performance. Continuous analysis […]

Financial Repression: Part II

April 29, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Financial Repression.  What is it? “Financial repression is a set of government policies—such as interest rate caps, capital controls, and bank regulations—that channel household savings into funding government debt at below-market rates. It acts as a “stealth tax” on savers to reduce high public debt burdens, often resulting in negative real interest rates where inflation […]

Gauss Portfolio Review: 29 April 2026

April 29, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Yesterday the U.S. Equities market took quite a hit.  This morning stocks are down again.  What is going on to drive down the S&P 500, a good benchmark for monitoring the overall market?  Check out this YouTube video.  If the video does not start at the beginning, just move the slider back to the starting […]

Financial Repression: Part 1

Dirac 2026 Portfolio Review: 24 April 2026

April 27, 2026 By hedgehunter Leave a Comment

It is a difficult time to be managing the Dirac Portfolio using a momentum model since we are not, currently, in a strong trending environment and we have little diversification to separate the assets in our quiver – all of which reside in the US Equity asset class. Money is clearly moving around within this […]

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 27 April 2026

April 27, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

The original management strategy for the Copernicus portfolio was to invest in the S&P 500 (SPY or VOO) and continue to do so while adding money on a regular basis.  I’ve deviated from that original plan slightly as the current market is overvalued or as we say, overbought.  However, this market continues to “climb the […]

Darwin 2026 Portfolio Review: 24 April 2026

April 26, 2026 By hedgehunter 1 Comment

Although US equity markets were a little jittery (read volatile) over the last week it was essentially a period of consolidation with the SPX (S&P 500 Index) making more new highs and closing the week ~0.6% higher than last week’s close:

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 23 April 2026

April 23, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Carson is one of three portfolios using the Sector BPI investing model.  When I updated the March performance I noticed the monthly loss for the Carson was 1/10 the loss of several asset allocation portfolios.  Just another reminder as to how well the Sector BPI investing model is working. Over the past several months there […]
