Long-Term Portfolio for Retiree Who Does Not Require Income or Withdrawals

I requested ChatGPT to create a portfolio for a retiree who does not require income and will most likely be able to live off a pension plus social security.  Below is the response from AI.  Based on the high probability of increases in interest rates I question the wisdom of investing 20% in bonds (BND).  I expected AI to reduce this percentage to something closer to 5% or 10% and move the extra … [Read More...]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 1): 20 September 2024

On Thursday the SPX (S&P 500 Index) broke through resistance to hit new all-time highs and confirm that the recent pullback was a mere "breather" in the current uptrend (higher highs and higher lows) that started in May - or even last November (depending on how one defines a low pivot point/level): Compared to the performance of other major asset classes, US equities came in towards the high … [Read More...]

Pauling Portfolio Review: 19 May 2026

May 19, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Pauling is an asset allocation driven portfolio with leanings toward "recession proof" if there is such an allocation.  Seventy percent of the portfolio is currently held in short-term treasuries and this is by design.  Should we see a 10% draw-down … [Read more]

Dirac 2026 Portfolio Review: 15 May 2026

May 17, 2026 By hedgehunter Leave a Comment

May 15, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Since the last review the computers at Schwab rebalanced the Schrodinger by adding shares to large cap equities and bonds.  Considering this overbought market both additions are somewhat puzzling.  However, I'm not going to quibble as the performance … [Read more]

May 13, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Kepler is scheduled for a review later this month, but I moved it up as I am making a few changes.  One change occurred this morning as I sold all shares of SHV (expense ratio of 15 basis points) and replaced it with shares of SCHO (expense ratio of … [Read more]
