Schrodinger Robo Advisor Portfolio Review: 26 November 2025

November 26, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Schrodinger is a Robo Advisor portfolio or what Schwab refers to as an “intelligent portfolio.”  This portfolio is computer managed so the owner is hands off other than to continue to save and add to the portfolio.  Schrodinger is truly a passive portfolio. Schrodinger Asset Allocation Model The current stock/bond-cash ratio is a rather aggressive […]

Bullish Percent Indicators: 21 November 2025

November 22, 2025 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

It has been months since I last published Bullish Percent Indicator (BPI) data as little changed until the last several weeks.  This past week we had sufficient volatility to where several sectors dropped into the oversold zone and we purchased sector ETFs to take advantage of the decline.  I expect to see more sectors move […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 21 November 2025

November 21, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Managing Sector BPI portfolios requires patience as it is not unusual to wait months before we see a Buy or Sell signal.  In the last two to three months we have had sector action as a number of sectors dipped into the oversold zone.  In other words, several sectors moved below the 30% bullish line […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 14 November 2025

November 14, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

As you move through this update of the Copernicus, don’t neglect to listen to the video linked at the bottom of the page.  There are other YouTube videos also explaining the seven stages that align before a major market draw-down.  Since the Copernicus is an equity only portfolio, how should one prepare this account for […]

McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 11 November 2025

November 11, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

The McClintock is positioned much the same as it was last month.  Materials and Consumer Staples are the sectors of interest.  Several other sectors dipped into the 30% bullish zone and I set some limit orders to purchase one-half the target percentage or one-half the recommended shares when a Buy is triggered.  These limit orders […]
