Carson is the Sector BPI portfolio scheduled for review this summer morning.  As with all the Sector BPI portfolios this one is performing quite well. Since the last review VIS and VHT hit the 3% Trailing Stop Loss Order price and were sold.  Shares of VGT were added, but as I recall I was a day or so late to spot the oversold reading from Technology so I missed a few points from the early … [Read More...]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 4): 8 November 2024

November 9, 2024 By hedgehunter

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 8 November 2024

November 8, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Copernicus is one of my favorite portfolios for young investors or someone who has a 15-year or longer investment horizon.  The philosophy behind the Copernicus is to invest in U.S. Equities and never sell unless there is an emergency.  Since the … [Read more]

Gauss Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 8 November 2024

November 8, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Nothing has changed over the last few days that will impact the Gauss portfolio.  The only sector ETF held in any of these Sector BPI portfolios is Energy (VDE) and this sector is closer to oversold than it is to overbought.  Oversold is when the … [Read more]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 7 November 2024

Bethe Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 6 November 2024

November 6, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Bethe is another Asset Allocation portfolio that is approaching a balanced state.  Since there is a 90% overlap in stocks held in VTI and VOO, I placed a Trailing Stop Loss Order of 3% for VTI.  Inflation is currently not a problem so a TSLO of 1% is … [Read more]

November 5, 2024 By Lowell Herr

During this year (2024) several portfolios were shifted to the Asset Allocation investing model in an effort to return to my investing roots.  The Einstein is one such portfolio.  What I am attempting to do with these portfolios is to get each one … [Read more]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 4 November 2024

November 4, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Schrodinger is a portfolio I continually tout for investors not interested in spending time on their investment portfolio.  Schwab does it all using computer algorithms.  Answer a few questions, invest your money and Schwab will set up an Intelligent … [Read more]
