Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 20 June 2025

June 21, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Welcome to the Summer of 2025.  Since computers make all decisions related to the Schrodinger, the weekend is an appropriate time to update this portfolio.  Since the last review no changes were made other than to pick up a few dividends.  In the next Schrodinger portfolio review second quarter dividends will appear and the hope […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 18 June 2025

June 19, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Over the last month several sectors were sold out of the Carson due to sufficient declines in the ETFs used to mirror specific sectors.  Remaining in the Carson are: Consumer Staples (VDC), Healthcare (VHT), and a shard holding of Utilities (VPU).  With wars and rumors of wars loaded on top of tariffs plus a no-nothing […]

Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 12 June 2025

June 12, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

One benefit of Sector BPI portfolios such as the Franklin is that there is a built in capital preservation ingredient inherent in the management model.  While Trailing Stop Loss Orders (TSLOs) may not be ideal, based on historical data, they are working for the three Sector BPI portfolios.  Check portfolios Carson and McClintock for further […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 5 June 2025

June 6, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  Near the beginning of each month I generally update the Schrodinger portfolio as it requires no maintenance.  Computers do all the management work as this is a Robo Advisor portfolio housed at Schwab.  All the owner needs to do is save and sit back and let the market do its work.  All I do […]

Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 4 June 2025

June 5, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Franklin is the Sector BPI portfolio up for review.  Included in this blog post is evidence of the viability of the Sector BPI investing model.  Based on all the uncertainty surrounding the current administration I will be making some slight changes in what to do if no sectors are included for investment or if there […]

Bohr Portfolio Review: 4 June 2025

June 4, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

As with several other ITA portfolios, capital preservation is of significant importance to the owner of the Bohr portfolio.  As a result there is a willingness to give up potential returns during these uncertain times.  The on again, off again tariff battle is an anathema to business as it interferes with future planning.  Right now […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 2 June 2025

June 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

While this review of the Copernicus portfolio occurs in June, the data more appropriately belongs to May.  Take that into consideration as you read this update.  As followers of this portfolio know, this is a passive portfolio that focuses on investing only in U.S. Equities and is limited to large-cap stocks that track the S&P […]

Selecting Closed End Funds (CEFs)

May 31, 2025 By Lowell Herr 8 Comments

Thanks to Lee Cash, more information is available when it comes to identifying which CEFs to include in a portfolio.  Below are the two primary screens I will be using in the future to aid in the selection of CEFs. The first Internet source [CEF Connect] is one we have been using to identify the […]

Bullish Percent Indicator: 30 May 2025

May 31, 2025 By Lowell Herr 9 Comments

It has been several weeks since I last posted Bullish Percent Indicator (BPI) data.  No changes were recommended during this period, but this week the Communications sector moved into the overbought zone.  Portfolios holding VOX were alerted to sell.  With a 75% bullish percentage I placed 2.5% Trailing Stop Loss Orders (TSLOs) under VOX in […]

Gauss Portfolio Review: 28 May 2025

May 28, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

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.  […]
