Cohen, the founder of the market analysis service Investors Intelligence (then called ChartCraft), created it as a “market barometer” to […]

Huygens Portfolio Review: 4 May 2026

May 4, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Huygens is the portfolio up for review today and in this portfolio I am rebalancing the account to counter the high probability the FED, with cooperation from the government, will strive to inflate their way out of the 39 trillion (and growing) national debt. The basic principle of spending less than you earn is ever […]

Financial Repression Portfolio: Part V

Over the last few days I’ve concentrated on what impact Financial Repression is likely to have on portfolios invested in the U.S. Equities and Bond markets.  The outlook over the next decade is highly unlikely to continue the long bull market experienced since August of 1982.  Yes, there were major hiccups along the way such […]

Financial Repression: Part IV

They introduced the concept to describe government policies—such as interest rate […]

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

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.
