Millikan Portfolio Review: 27 May 2025

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 future when uncertainty abounds.  One […]

Bethe Portfolio Review: 23 May 2025

May 23, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Bethe is another portfolio using the truncated asset allocation model.  A maximum of five Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are used to populate the Bethe. The down market this morning resulted in selling shares of VOO and investing in SHV, a short-term treasury.  Erratic tariff threats are once more roiling the stock and bond markets.  I […]

Einstein Portfolio Review: 21 May 2025

May 22, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Einstein is one of several portfolios using a truncated Asset Allocation investing model.  This is a new and simplified approach in the hopes of setting this portfolio on a stronger performance course.  As with many of the other ITA portfolios, I am taking a cautious approach and that is the reason for setting Trailing Stop […]

Kepler Portfolio Review: 21 May 2025

May 21, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Followers of the Kepler will note major changes in the portfolio makeup.  The latest asset allocation is income driven as I am using a number of Closed-End-Funds (CEFs) to augment VOO and SCHD.  For more information on CEFs check out the latest Hawking portfolio and this blog post.

Closed End Funds (CEFs): 19 May 2025

May 19, 2025 By Lowell Herr

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 investors first read Steven Bavaria’s book, The […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 16 May 2025

May 16, 2025 By Lowell Herr

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 overall performance. Schrodinger Security Holdings Below […]

Huygens Portfolio Review: 13 May 2025

May 14, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Huygens is one of two portfolios using an expanded Asset Allocation (AA) management model.  The other is the computer managed Schrodinger or Schwab’s Intelligent Portfolio.  Over the past month the Huygens lost a bit of ground to its benchmark, the AOR security.  Most likely the AOR is tilted a tad more toward equity holdings whereas […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 13 May 2025

May 13, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Today’s market brings us closer to closing the equity losses from early April.  As one of the Sector BPI portfolios, the Carson experienced only minor losses in April.  Several sectors are currently in the overbought zone and as a result, Trailing Stop Loss Orders (TSLOs) are in place to lock in profits.  It is difficult […]
