Huygens Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 11 April 2025

April 11, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Huygens is one of numerous portfolios managed using the time tested Asset Allocation approach.  While different asset classes or even different securities might be used, the basic approach is to diversify across the globe.  Readers see this is the plan for the Huygens.  We have domestic and international stock and bonds.  Real Estate is diversified […]

McClintock Portfolio Update: 10 April 2025

April 10, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

McClintock is the last of the three Sector BPI portfolios to be reviewed this week.  Yesterday’s up market looks to be nothing more than a “Dead Cat Bounce.”  Sectors still under water this morning “mandated” I sell all shares in the holding ETF, SHV, and use the cash to populate the sector ETFs.

Carson Portfolio Update: 10 April 2025

April 9, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  The following data was scheduled for publication at least one day ago, but I was distracted due to the market plunge.  This portfolio is the oldest of the Sector BPI portfolios, but it has not been through a volatile market such as we have experienced over the last few days. As I mentioned when […]

Franklin Portfolio Update: 8 April 2025

April 8, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Stay the course.  Stick with the investment plan.  That is the advice I am following with the Franklin Sector BPI portfolio in this update.  Shares of SHV were sold to raise cash in order to populate the sectors currently in the oversold zone.  Today’s strong market is most likely a “dead cat bounce.”  Market action […]

Rutherford-Darwin Portfolio Review: 4 April 2025

April 7, 2025 By hedgehunter Leave a Comment

It was a brutal week in just about all major markets with the SPX losing a little over 9% from last week’s close – most of this within the last 2 days of the week with concerns over the effects that tariffs might have on the cost of living and the economy generally:

Bullish Percent Indicators: 4 April 2025

April 5, 2025 By Lowell Herr 5 Comments

“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” – H. L. Menckken In all the years I’ve been tracking the Bullish Percent Indicators (BPI), as shown below, I never witnessed such a precipitous drop in prices as we experienced the last two trading […]

Bohr Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 4 April 2025

April 4, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Individual-1’s tariffs are the self-inflicted decisions driving down the market or should I say, markets. Global markets are also taking a major hit.  Rather then telling readers what to do, read on and see what I am doing as different portfolios come up for review.  This morning I am updating the Bohr portfolio, one of […]

Einstein Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 2 April 2025

April 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Einstein is up for review this morning.  This portfolio sports a simplified asset allocation model in that it holds only four securities and one (SHV) is included primarily as an interest bearing cash holding tank.
