Millikan Portfolio Review: 31 December 2025

December 31, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Happy New Year We end 2025 with a review of the Millikan portfolio.  Thus far this portfolio is performing very well and the expectation is that it will continue upward under the revised asset allocation model.  This morning I sold all shares of VOO as I no longer desire extensive exposure to mega-cap AI stocks […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 30 December 2025

December 30, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Carson is next to the last portfolio to be reviewed in 2025.  Tomorrow I will update the Millikan portfolio.  The Carson was one of the better performing portfolios during the month of November, indicating once more that the Sector BPI investing model is working as projected by the theory some years ago. No new sectors […]

Gifting a Grandchild

December 29, 2025 By Lowell Herr 3 Comments

What advice would you give a grandparent who would like to launch a retirement portfolio for one or more grandchildren?  To begin the discussion, assume the proposed gift is $25,000.  Should it be given as a lump sum or spread out over a period of time? Here are two possible plans one might undertake, depending […]

Kepler – “Recession Proof” Portfolio: 29 December 2025

December 29, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Kepler is the portfolio scheduled for review this morning.  “Recession Proof” is a misnomer as I am not sure there is any such thing unless one is an option expert, has some luck shorting bear markets, or someone who has access to financial vehicles available only to the very wealthy.  The revised asset allocation for […]

Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 26 December 2025

December 26, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

This morning I am reviewing another Sector BPI portfolio, the Franklin.  Take time to listen to Ray Dalio in the YouTube video referenced at the bottom of this blog.  Pay no attention to the movement that has Mr. Dalio riding on a bumpy airplane ride.  Pay attention to the content. From everything I am reading […]

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 24 December 2025

December 24, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Merry Christmas Copernicus is the last portfolio up for review before Christmas.  The major change is to reduce holdings in VOO and shift the percentage over to RSP.  The reason for this move is to reduce exposure to mega-cap stocks that are over-valued and to increase exposure to mid- and small-cap stocks.  The “all U.S. […]

Bohr Portfolio Review: 23 December 2025

December 23, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Rebuilding the Bohr portfolio is the primary concern for this account.  As readers will soon see, the Bohr is a classic asset allocation portfolio built around U.S. and International Equities.  Sprinkled in are a few low volatile ETFs.

Gauss Portfolio Update: 22 December 2025

December 22, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Gauss is the portfolio up for review this morning and it is undergoing a few asset allocation adjustments.  Gauss is one of the better performing portfolios, due in part to no withdrawals since inception a number of years ago.  In addition to no withdrawals new cash is added from time to time.  This method of […]

Darwin Portfolio Review: 19 December 2025

December 21, 2025 By hedgehunter 2 Comments

It looked like being a down week in the US equity markets until a late surge on Friday lifted the SPX (S&P 500 Index) back into the 6700-6900 range where it has been consolidating for a few weeks:
