Millikan Portfolio Review: 25 July 2025

July 28, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Millikan is one of several Asset Allocation portfolios, but with a narrowly defined set of securities.  Currently I am playing it safe as this is an over-heated market.  Playing it safe means that I am overloading the portfolio using the short-term treasury SHV.  Should the market decline I

Bohr Portfolio Review: 12 July 2025

July 12, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment
