Gauss Portfolio Review: 28 May 2025

May 28, 2025 By Lowell Herr

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

May 27, 2025 By hedgehunter

In Part 1 of this series of posts on how I intend to construct and manage the Rutherford-Darwin portfolio going forward I identified the nine ETFs that I would be using to populate the portfolio. I also indicated that, rather than holding all nine ETFs in a “Buy-and-Hold” portfolio that I would be selecting only […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 27 May 2025

May 27, 2025 By Lowell Herr

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

May 23, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Bethe is another portfolio using the truncated asset allocation model.  A maximum of five Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are used to populate the Bethe. The down market this morning resulted in selling shares of VOO and investing in SHV, a short-term treasury.  Erratic tariff threats are once more roiling the stock and bond markets.  I […]

Einstein Portfolio Review: 21 May 2025

May 22, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Einstein is one of several portfolios using a truncated Asset Allocation investing model.  This is a new and simplified approach in the hopes of setting this portfolio on a stronger performance course.  As with many of the other ITA portfolios, I am taking a cautious approach and that is the reason for setting Trailing Stop […]

Kepler Portfolio Review: 21 May 2025

May 21, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Followers of the Kepler will note major changes in the portfolio makeup.  The latest asset allocation is income driven as I am using a number of Closed-End-Funds (CEFs) to augment VOO and SCHD.  For more information on CEFs check out the latest Hawking portfolio and this blog post.

Rutherford-Darwin Portfolio – Restructuring the Management Plan Part 1: Outline of New Structure and Strategies to be Used

May 19, 2025 By hedgehunter

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. These vary from very simple “Buy-and-Hold” portfolios, with fixed allocations – where risk is impacted by the level of diversity and correlation between […]

Closed End Funds (CEFs): 19 May 2025

May 19, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Have you been following the Hawking Portfolio?  If not, you may want to give a close looking to this unique approach to investing.  If income is of interest then investing in Closed End Funds (CEFs) is definitely an option.  Before launching into this management model I highly recommend investors first read Steven Bavaria’s book, The […]

May 18, 2025 By hedgehunter

It was a strong week in the US equity markets with the SPX (S&P 500 Index) closing the week a little over 5% higher than last week’s close:
