Pauling Portfolio Review: 6 August 2025

August 6, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Pauling is another mini-asset allocation portfolios where the number of ETFs populating the portfolio are limited.  In anticipation of a slower economy when third and fourth quarter economic reports come out, I’ve concentrated on building up short-term treasuries in a number of portfolios. If managing a family portfolio, my recommendation is to diversify across the […]

McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 4 August 2025

August 4, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

When the market opened to the upside this morning I was more than a little surprised.  Such is the nature of the U.S. Equities market.  Never try to predict what it is going to do. The McClintock is patiently waiting for one or more sectors to drop into the oversold zone so we can purchase […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 1 August 2025

August 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

  I am pushing the Copernicus review ahead of schedule as I want to see what damage or impact Friday’s selloff had on this equity oriented portfolio.  Low unemployment numbers and the coming tariffs are roiling the U.S. Equities market.  I expect this to continue into next week.  Political uncertainty, threats to institutions, and the […]

Gauss Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 31 July 2025

July 31, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  July ends with the update of another “mini” asset allocation portfolio.  Gauss brings July to a close.  As with similar portfolio structures I am tilting toward income vs. growth until the political environment shows some stability.  If and when we observe market weakness, at that time I will make an effort to slowly move […]

Einstein Portfolio Review: 30 July 2025

July 30, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Einstein is similar to the Bethe portfolio, posted earlier today.  This will be a quick analysis as the rebalancing process is similar.  The Einstein is in a state of rebuilding after significant withdrawals were made to cover educational expenses.

Bethe Portfolio Update: 30 July 2025

July 30, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Bethe is one of the “mini” asset allocation portfolios and one that needed rebalancing.  This morning I sold a significant number of SHV shares making rebalancing possible.  SCHD was most out of balance and I will explain below how I went about setting limit orders.

Kepler CEF Portfolio Review: 28 July 2025

July 28, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Kepler is a portfolio in transition.  The move is from a growth portfolio to an income portfolio where the income is derived from Closed-End-Funds (CEFs).  In a recent blog post I requested readers submit CEF ideas, but to limit them to no more than five (5) at a time.  One recent recommendation (EIC) was added […]

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 will slowly move back into VOO and […]
