The often touted Schrodinger is again up for review.  I started this portfolio a few years ago as a test to see how a computer managed portfolio might perform compared to other investing models.  As a result, one can use the Schrodinger or a similar Robo Advisor portfolio as a management benchmark.  How are the […]
