Huygens Portfolio Review: 31 July 2026

Huygens is the asset allocation portfolio scheduled for review this morning.  Since I first started this blog shares of GLDM and IAU were sold and the money was reinvested in short-term treasuries, SCHO.  This move will lower the portfolio beta which in turn will elevate the Jensen Alpha value. Huygens Asset Allocation Model Limit orders are in place to purchase more shares of VTI and VYM.  … [Read More...]

Retirement Planning Mistake #5

Investors pick individual stocks to build portfolios rather than use index funds.  Our preference is to use commission free ETFs. Next to not following "The Golden Rule of Investing," the error of not using index funds is likely the biggest mistake investors make.  Remember - The Market is smarter than you are.  While there are investors who are good stock pickers, be realistic.  Are you one of … [Read More...]

June 10, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Bullish Percent Indicator (BPI) data for the past week shows positive increases in nearly all the major indexes.  As for the individual sectors, Utilities is still recommended as a Buy as the BPI continues to rest on the 30% bullish mark. Index … [Read more]

McClintock Dual Momentum Portfolio Review: 9 June 2023

June 9, 2023 By Lowell Herr

McClintock and Pauling are the two remaining portfolio managed using the Dual Momentum™ model.  Since the last McClintock review I moved the look-back period back to the "default" settings of 60- and 100-trading days.  This information shows up in … [Read more]

Pay Attention to Fees: 8 June 2023

June 8, 2023 By Lowell Herr

While I've written about management fees in prior blogs, it is useful to think about them again as fees can easily leave an "endowment" on the doorstep of an active manager.  A few readers will remember load funds where the cost to gain access to a … [Read more]

Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 8 June 2023

June 8, 2023 By Lowell Herr

In the early years of the Franklin this was a Dual Momentum™ portfolio or should I say it was managed using the DM model.  Dissatisfied with performance I moved the Franklin over to the Sector BPI investing model.  While it is still too early to know … [Read more]

Schrodinger Computer Manage Portfolio Update: 7 June 2023

June 7, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Normally I don't review a portfolio this quickly since the last update, but the owner of the Schrodinger added new money so the portfolio could be tax managed.  According to Schwab's website an Intelligent Portfolio, of which the Schrodinger is an … [Read more]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 7 June 2023

June 7, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Portfolios fall into two major categories, actively managed or passively managed.  The Copernicus portfolio is of the latter variety as the plan is to invest only in U.S. Equities.  Only add or purchase Exchanged Traded Funds (ETFs) and only sell in … [Read more]

Kahneman-Tversky Portfolio Review: 2 June, 2023

June 5, 2023 By hedgehunter

The Kahneman-Tversky Portfolio is a simple Dual Momentum (DM) portfolio with a fast/slow (short look-back/long look-beack) twist. We'll look first at the performance to date: where we see that we are a little behind our AOR benchmark. So, we'll … [Read more]

Huygens Income Portfolio Review: 5 June 2023

June 5, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Over the next few months watch for possible changes in how the Huygens is managed.  I'm less than impressed with the income approach, particularly as there are signs U.S. Equities may be ready for a positive run.  This particular portfolio is housed … [Read more]
