May 27, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

On again, off again tariff threats are constantly roiling the stock and bond markets.  This morning the direction happens to be to the upside.  When in a dark room filled with furniture – stand still.  That is the attitude businesses have as it is most difficult to plan for the

Have you been following the Hawking Portfolio?  If not, you may want to give a close looking to this unique approach to investing.  If income is of interest then investing in Closed End Funds (CEFs) is definitely an option.  Before launching into this management model I highly recommend

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 16 May 2025

May 16, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Since the last review Schwab made a number of changes in the Schrodinger.  It is rare for such changes.  I suspect Schwab performed some tax harvesting.  One change was to add a municipal bond ETF, SCMB.  The percentage is so small it will not have much impact on the

Market action over the past few days has been sufficient to push ITA portfolios to a higher level than they were on March 31, 2025.  This recent push only elevates the Buffett Indicator and Shiller PE Ratio. Index BPI All indexes are currently bullish and

Buffett Indicator & Shiller PE Ratio

May 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Canyonland National Park Over the last few weeks I’ve been setting Trailing Stop Loss Orders (TSLOs) for VTI, VOO, and SCHG when portfolios holding these securities come up for review.  The tariff wars are causing market uncertainty, but tariffs are not the only reason for setting TSLOs.  Erratic administration behavior
