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...]

Gauss Portfolio Review: 28 April 2025

  Gauss is one of the simplified Asset Allocation portfolios in that only four ETFs are used.  SHV is used as a holding basket when cash becomes available.  Due to the chaotic market I set TSLOs under VOO and SCHG as I assume the current administration will make several mistakes that will have a negative impact on both U.S. and International markets.  The Gauss may end up holding shares in … [Read More...]

Bethe Portfolio Review: 30 June 2025

June 30, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Few changes took place within the Bethe portfolio since the last review.  A few more shares of SHV were added as I am taking a conservative approach with this portfolio.  I will most likely continue along these capital preservation lines until after … [Read more]

June 29, 2025 By hedgehunter Leave a Comment

US Equities pushed higher this week, despite geopolitical uncertainties, and closed the week ~ 3.5% higher than last week's close after testing the important 6100 level in the SPX (S&P 500 Index) and breaking out to new all-time highs: … [Read more]

Gauss Portfolio Review: 27 June 2025

June 27, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Gauss is one of the mini-asset allocation portfolios or one where very few ETFs are used to populate the portfolio.  Since the last review all shares of SCHG were sold and the cash was converted to shares of SHV, a short-term treasury.  While U.S. … [Read more]

Kepler Portfolio Review: 24 June 2025

June 24, 2025 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

Kepler is undergoing security changes as it has been under-performing for a long time.  The portfolio could wait until after the second quarter dividends are available, but I want to use this review as a reference to see how the different … [Read more]

McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 23 June 2025

June 23, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

The McClintock portfolio was last reviewed on April 29th so it is long overdue.  Numerous sector ETFs were sold out of the McClintock since the last review so I will be examining how well the Sector BPI investing model is working by analyzing the … [Read more]

Rutherford-Darwin Portfolio Review: 20 June, 2025

June 22, 2025 By hedgehunter 2 Comments

It was a relatively quiet, short, trading week in the US equity markets with more consolidation below the ~6100 resistance level and the SPX closing down ~0.2% from last week's Close: … [Read more]

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 … [Read more]

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).  … [Read more]
