Gauss Portfolio Review: 27 June 2025

June 27, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Gauss is one of the mini-asset allocation portfolios or one where very few ETFs are used to populate the portfolio.  Since the last review all shares of SCHG were sold and the cash was converted to shares of SHV, a short-term treasury.  While U.S. Equities rebounded from the April depression point, the fundamentals that this […]

Kepler Portfolio Review: 24 June 2025

June 24, 2025 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

Kepler is undergoing security changes as it has been under-performing for a long time.  The portfolio could wait until after the second quarter dividends are available, but I want to use this review as a reference to see how the different closed-end-funds (CEFs) perform before and after second quarter dividends.

McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 23 June 2025

June 23, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

The McClintock portfolio was last reviewed on April 29th so it is long overdue.  Numerous sector ETFs were sold out of the McClintock since the last review so I will be examining how well the Sector BPI investing model is working by analyzing the last screenshot in this blog post.

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 20 June 2025

June 21, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Welcome to the Summer of 2025.  Since computers make all decisions related to the Schrodinger, the weekend is an appropriate time to update this portfolio.  Since the last review no changes were made other than to pick up a few dividends.  In the next Schrodinger portfolio review second quarter dividends will appear and the hope […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 18 June 2025

June 19, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Over the last month several sectors were sold out of the Carson due to sufficient declines in the ETFs used to mirror specific sectors.  Remaining in the Carson are: Consumer Staples (VDC), Healthcare (VHT), and a shard holding of Utilities (VPU).  With wars and rumors of wars loaded on top of tariffs plus a no-nothing […]

Huygens Portfolio Review: 13 June 2025

June 13, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Huygens is a pure Asset Allocation portfolio, built around traditional asset classes with a global diversification plan.  Since this review comes at a time when we are approaching the end of the second quarter, no changes are planned.  After the second quarter dividends are in I will be updating asset classes that are below target.  […]

Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 12 June 2025

June 12, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

One benefit of Sector BPI portfolios such as the Franklin is that there is a built in capital preservation ingredient inherent in the management model.  While Trailing Stop Loss Orders (TSLOs) may not be ideal, based on historical data, they are working for the three Sector BPI portfolios.  Check portfolios Carson and McClintock for further […]

Einstein Portfolio Review: 11 June 2025

June 11, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Einstein, one of the truncated asset allocation portfolios, is up for review today.  Since the last review shares of SCHG were sold and reinvested in SHV.  The move is designed to protect capital during this period of chaos and uncertainty.  The third and fourth quarters of 2025 will provide more information as to what effect […]
