Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 16 May 2025

May 16, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Since the last review Schwab made a number of changes in the Schrodinger.  It is rare for such changes.  I suspect Schwab performed some tax harvesting.  One change was to add a municipal bond ETF, SCMB.  The percentage is so small it will not have much impact on the overall performance. Schrodinger Security Holdings Below […]

Huygens Portfolio Review: 13 May 2025

May 14, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Huygens is one of two portfolios using an expanded Asset Allocation (AA) management model.  The other is the computer managed Schrodinger or Schwab’s Intelligent Portfolio.  Over the past month the Huygens lost a bit of ground to its benchmark, the AOR security.  Most likely the AOR is tilted a tad more toward equity holdings whereas […]

Bohr Portfolio Review: 6 May 2025

May 7, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Bohr is a portfolio of moderate size managed using a few equity oriented ETFs.  As with the Kepler, Einstein and a few other portfolios, this account is following a similar conservative approach due to all the uncertainties surrounding the unnecessary tariff wars. Bohr Security Holdings The Bohr currently holds the following ETFs listed below.  Trailing […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 5 May 2025

May 5, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

As I write this blog the U.S. Stock Market is attempting to regain early Monday losses.  As long-time reader know, the Copernicus is an equities only portfolio.  The management model is to save and purchase S&P 500 ETFs.  Based on the current administration generated chaos I am moving toward a more conservative model.  I am […]

Bullish Percent Indicators: 2 May 2025

May 3, 2025 By Lowell Herr 6 Comments

Market action over the past few days has been sufficient to push ITA portfolios to a higher level than they were on March 31, 2025.  This recent push only elevates the Buffett Indicator and Shiller PE Ratio. Index BPI All indexes are currently bullish and four are in the overbought zone.  Note that the two […]

Buffett Indicator & Shiller PE Ratio

May 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Canyonland National Park Over the last few weeks I’ve been setting Trailing Stop Loss Orders (TSLOs) for VTI, VOO, and SCHG when portfolios holding these securities come up for review.  The tariff wars are causing market uncertainty, but tariffs are not the only reason for setting TSLOs.  Erratic administration behavior only exacerbates an overbought market. […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 1 May 2025

May 1, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Headline news this morning – “Trump’s tariffs have left businesses in a ‘state of near paralysis’.” Advanced planning is nearly impossible do to an erratic administration that is in the hands of one person.  A person who was not even able to make casinos a success. Based on a rough economic market ahead I have […]

McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 29 April 2025

April 29, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

McClintock is one of three portfolios managed using the Sector BPI model.  The other two are the Carson and Franklin, named after Rachel and Rosalind respectively.  During the recent market declines numerous sectors dropped into the oversold zone.  In other words, many sectors ended up with 30% or fewer bullish stock within the sector.  When […]

Bullish Percent Indicators: 17 April 2025

April 19, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Most weeks there is so little market action among the major sectors and indexes that updating the Bullish Percent Indicator (BPI) data is unnecessary.  Tariff uncertainty is roiling the markets to where updating is meaningful.  The two tables below examine what is happening to seven major U.S. Equity markets and eleven sectors that make up […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 11 April 2025

April 14, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Schrodinger is the gold standard when it comes to passive investing.  This portfolio answers the question, “Who will manage the family portfolio when I die?”  This style portfolio goes by several titles.  The general classification is Robo Advisor where the portfolio is managed by computer.  Eventually I expect Artificial Intelligence will be or is currently […]
