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 […]

Kepler Portfolio Update: 19 December 2025

December 19, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Kepler is the portfolio up for review this morning.  Major asset allocation changes are coming to the Kepler for two reasons.  1) The portfolio has been a poor performer.  Therefore adjustments are appropriate  2) The new asset allocation model is designed to be somewhat recession resistant.  I say “somewhat” as I don’t think there is […]

Huygens Portfolio Update: 18 December 2025

December 18, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Huygens is the asset allocation portfolio up for review this morning.  This portfolio is set up to “resist” taking too big a hit when the correction or recession sets in sometime over the next 12 to 18 months.  A correction or recession is certainly not a sure thing as interest rates will likely drop another […]

Schrodinger Robo Advisor Portfolio Review: 26 November 2025

November 26, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Schrodinger is a Robo Advisor portfolio or what Schwab refers to as an “intelligent portfolio.”  This portfolio is computer managed so the owner is hands off other than to continue to save and add to the portfolio.  Schrodinger is truly a passive portfolio. Schrodinger Asset Allocation Model The current stock/bond-cash ratio is a rather aggressive […]

Bullish Percent Indicators: 21 November 2025

November 22, 2025 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

It has been months since I last published Bullish Percent Indicator (BPI) data as little changed until the last several weeks.  This past week we had sufficient volatility to where several sectors dropped into the oversold zone and we purchased sector ETFs to take advantage of the decline.  I expect to see more sectors move […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 21 November 2025

November 21, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Managing Sector BPI portfolios requires patience as it is not unusual to wait months before we see a Buy or Sell signal.  In the last two to three months we have had sector action as a number of sectors dipped into the oversold zone.  In other words, several sectors moved below the 30% bullish line […]

November 18, 2025 By Lowell Herr 3 Comments

There are two reasons for posting this blog. With Recession in the title, readers a year from now can Google the word and come up with this post showing when ITA was sounding the alarm for the coming recession – or worse.  In fact, I have been hinting at the coming market draw-down for months. […]
