Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 18 November 2024

November 17, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Pauling is one of several Asset Allocation portfolios launched in early April of this year (2024).  In an effort to reduce taxes I avoid selling appreciated Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).  This strategy slows down the rebalancing process.  Rebalancing takes place when fresh cash is deposited or dividends are declared. For Asset Allocation portfolios valued below […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 1): 15 November 2024

November 17, 2024 By hedgehunter

It seemed to be a week of reflection and re-evaluation in the US markets following last week’s strong positive reaction to the US elections. The US Equity markets pulled back ~2% on the week:

Kepler Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 14 November 2024

November 15, 2024 By Lowell Herr

  Thanksgiving greetings to Canadians, U.S, readers, and to all those around the world who celebrate Thanksgiving sometime in November. And now to the Kepler update.  This portfolio has been lagging the benchmark for a few years so I moved it over to the Asset Allocation model this spring with the hope a more diversified […]

Bohr Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 13 November 2024

November 12, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Bohr is one of several portfolios that were transferred over to the Asset Allocation (AA) investing model within the last year.  AA is the model commonly used to manage portfolios as it is well diversified to handle various market conditions.  Although well diversified there is no guarantee if will always generate positive returns.  Even bonds […]

Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 11 November 2024

November 11, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Franklin is a small Sector BPI portfolio that continues to hold its own when compared to the SPY benchmark.  We now have a two-year history with this model for the Franklin.  The ITA Sector BPI portfolios (five in total) are of different size, are reviewed at different times, and were launched at different periods so […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 4): 8 November 2024

November 9, 2024 By hedgehunter

As investors we have to ignore the polititians and focus on the impact of policy on the markets. Obviously, Trump’s victory is seen positively by the majority of investors as being good for the markets – at least for now. Last week I suggested that if we broke above the 5800 resistance zone in the […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 8 November 2024

November 8, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Copernicus is one of my favorite portfolios for young investors or someone who has a 15-year or longer investment horizon.  The philosophy behind the Copernicus is to invest in U.S. Equities and never sell unless there is an emergency.  Since the portfolio invests only in U.S. Equities the S&P 500 is an appropriate benchmark. The […]

Gauss Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 8 November 2024

November 8, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Nothing has changed over the last few days that will impact the Gauss portfolio.  The only sector ETF held in any of these Sector BPI portfolios is Energy (VDE) and this sector is closer to oversold than it is to overbought.  Oversold is when the percentage of stocks in a particular sector drop to 30% […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 7 November 2024

November 7, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Carson is the Sector BPI portfolio up for review this morning.  Carson is the oldest Sector BPI portfolio with two years of data which is still a very short period to come to any significant conclusions as to the viability of any investing model.  Thus far the model looks strong, but the Sector BPI model […]

Bethe Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 6 November 2024

November 6, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Bethe is another Asset Allocation portfolio that is approaching a balanced state.  Since there is a 90% overlap in stocks held in VTI and VOO, I placed a Trailing Stop Loss Order of 3% for VTI.  Inflation is currently not a problem so a TSLO of 1% is in place for TIP.  Once cash available […]
