March 27, 2021 By Lowell Herr

Chapter two of The Elements of Investing covers index investing.  When it comes to investing, nobody knows more than the market.  William F. Sharpe put is simply in an article many years ago when he wrote – The Arithmetic of Active Management.  I find it humorous that Sharpe did not use the word mathematics in […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 15 March 2023

March 14, 2023 By Lowell Herr

One of two reference portfolios is the Schrodinger.  The other is the Copernicus.  Were one to lose all spreadsheets and access to databases, these two different investing models would survive and serve the investor quite well.  As for the term reference, I compare all the other portfolios tracked here at ITA with the Schrodinger as […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 17 April 2023

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 8 January 2024

January 8, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Schrodinger is an excellent portfolio to review on a Monday as no decisions are required.  As long-time readers know, the Schrodinger is an Intelligent Portfolio managed by computer algorithms at Schwab.  These portfolios are sometimes known as Robo Advisor portfolios.  The owner of this portfolio does nothing except add new cash when possible.  Computers set […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 1 February 2024

February 1, 2024 By Lowell Herr

February is here and it is time for the crocus to bloom in Oregon.  Early in any given month is an excellent time to review the Schrodinger as no decisions are required.  This is a Save & Watch style portfolio that Schwab calls their Intelligent Portfolio model. Schwab currently requires an initial investment of $5,000 […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 1 March 2024

March 1, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Schrodinger is a “do nothing” portfolio in the sense that it is on automatic pilot after it is set up with Schwab.  This portfolio is managed by computer and is built around the principle of Asset Allocation, a long standing investing model designed for diversification.  Schwab calls these portfolios, “Intelligent Portfolios.” The Schrodinger stock/bond ratio […]
