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.

Financial Repression: Part II

April 29, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

It acts as a “stealth tax” on savers to reduce high public debt burdens, often resulting in negative real interest rates where inflation […]

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.

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 […]
