Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 7 August 2025

August 7, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

I could have skipped this review as there has not been any action since the last update.  This blog will inform readers where the Carson portfolio currently stands and how well the Sector BPI model is working. Carson Security Holdings The bulk of the Carson is positioned in a short-term treasury, SHV.  Should there be […]

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 […]

Dirac Portfolio Review: 4 August 2025

August 4, 2025 By hedgehunter 4 Comments

Since my last review on 18 July I have made a few adjustments to the Dirac Portfolio especially as a result of last Friday’s weakness in the US equity markets – since this portfolio is totally focused on these markets:

Rutherford-Darwin Portfolio Review: 4 August 2025

August 4, 2025 By hedgehunter Leave a Comment

After pushing to new all-time highs earlier in the week, the SPX (S&P 500 Index) hit resistance at ~6450 and pulled back on Friday, closing the week down ~2.4% from last week’s close. The MACD and RSI Indicators are both now sending bearish signals and we may be preparing to test support at ~6150 – […]

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 […]

Hawking Portfolio Review: 1 August 2025

August 3, 2025 By hedgehunter Leave a Comment

Normally there is not a lot for me to say in my reviews of the Hawking Portfolio because I like to try to keep it as a low maintainance (close to Buy-And-Hold) portfolio that generates steady monthly income at a predicable 8-12% level. This is achieved through a selection of diversified Closed-End-Funds (CEFs) or ETFs.  […]

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.
