Here we are at the end of May and the passively managed Schrodinger is up for review. We last purchased ETFs in March when shares of DBC, RWX, and VEA were added to the portfolio to bring several asset classes back into balance. Right now Commodities (DBC or DBA) is the only asset class running […]
Schrodinger Portfolio: Review Delayed
I am delaying the Schrodinger review until the June statement is available. A number of Trailing Stop Loss Orders (TSLOs) were set for this passively managed portfolio as there are duplicate ETFs due to holdovers from the early days when this portfolio was first established.
