Gauss is another portfolio using a truncated asset allocation model or one where very few ETFs are used to populate the portfolio. In other words – Keep it simple. In keeping with caution in this uncertain economic environment, I placed a 4.5% Trailing Stop Loss Order (TSLO) under VOO and a 2.0% TSLO under SCHG. […]
Millikan Portfolio Review: 27 May 2025
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 […]
Rutherford-Darwin Portfolio – Restructuring the Management Plan Part 1: Outline of New Structure and Strategies to be Used
Over the years we have described a number of systems for portfolio construction and management that might be considered by anyone interested in spending a little time to manage their own money. These vary from very simple “Buy-and-Hold” portfolios, with fixed allocations – where risk is impacted by the level of diversity and correlation between […]
Closed End Funds (CEFs): 19 May 2025
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
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
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 […]
Bohr Portfolio Review: 6 May 2025
Bohr is a portfolio of moderate size managed using a few equity oriented ETFs. As with the Kepler, Einstein and a few other portfolios, this account is following a similar conservative approach due to all the uncertainties surrounding the unnecessary tariff wars. Bohr Security Holdings The Bohr currently holds the following ETFs listed below. Trailing […]
Copernicus Portfolio Review: 5 May 2025
As I write this blog the U.S. Stock Market is attempting to regain early Monday losses. As long-time reader know, the Copernicus is an equities only portfolio. The management model is to save and purchase S&P 500 ETFs. Based on the current administration generated chaos I am moving toward a more conservative model. I am […]
Bullish Percent Indicators: 2 May 2025
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 four are in the overbought zone. Note that the two […]
Buffett Indicator & Shiller PE Ratio
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 only exacerbates an overbought market. […]
