Selecting Closed-End-Funds

July 26, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

This blog is designed to elicit contributions from readers as it pertains to selecting Closed-End-Funds (CEFs) for portfolio construction.  Hedgehunter has already compiled a list of CEFs and these securities can be found in the Hawking portfolio.  I started a list which can be found in the Kepler portfolio.  I plan to screen both lists […]

Bohr Portfolio Review: 24 July 2025

July 24, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

If you received notification of this blog post and it turned out to be Private, what happened is that I either clicked on the wrong radio button or the software sent out a notification before I finished reviewing the Bohr portfolio.  Here is the latest review of the Bohr. Just a reminder to readers that […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 22 July 2025

July 23, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Up for review once more is the Robo Advisor or computer managed Schrodinger.  No new shares were recently added despite all the dividends declared for the second quarter.  Cash is building to where I expect some purchasing to take place on any market decline. Schrodinger Asset Allocation Below is the current asset allocation for the […]

Huygens Portfolio Review: 22 July 2025

July 22, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Huygens is an Asset Allocation (AA) portfolio built using a conventional set of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) primarily from Vanguard.  The AA model has only been operational with the Huygens for approximately 16 months so the history is limited.  This management style is similar to what is used with the Schrodinger, but the securities are […]

Rutherford-Darwin Portfolio Review: 18 July 2025

July 21, 2025 By hedgehunter Leave a Comment

It was another relatively quiet week in the US Equity markets except for a little nervousness on Wednesday with rumors that Fed Chairman Powell might be fired by the President for not lowering interest rates – but in the end the SPX (S&P 500 Index) closed the week ~0.7% higher than last week’s close:

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 18 July 2025

July 19, 2025 By Lowell Herr 3 Comments

Carson is the oldest Sector BPI portfolio or the one providing the best information as to how well this investing model works.  As yet I have not seen another website using this investing model.  If ITA readers ever spot something similar, pass the link or pertinent information along. Carson Security Holdings Health was sold out […]

Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 15 July 2025

July 17, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Franklin is one of three Sector BPI portfolios, all named after women scientists.  Since the last review of the Franklin, shares of VHT and VOX were sold out of the portfolio leaving shares in Consumer Staples (VDC)  and Energy (VDE).  The Franklin also holds shares in VOO and the bulk of the portfolio resides in […]

Hawking Portfolio Review: 14 July 2025

July 15, 2025 By hedgehunter 4 Comments

The Hawking Portfolio does not require a lot of attention as it is designed more as a Buy-And-Hold Portfolio to generate “Income” rather than to rely primarily on “growth” as required in more common equity portfolios.  Although there may be exceptions to this, depending on how closely an investor might choose to monitor his or […]
