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. […]
Rutherford-Darwin Portfolio – Restructuring the Management Plan Part 3: Generating additional Income and Hedging

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 […]
Bethe Portfolio Review: 23 May 2025

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.

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.
