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

Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 29 May 2024

May 29, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Pauling is a recent Asset Allocation portfolio as performance has been a disappointment.  Thus the change.  If this Asset Allocation model does not show improvement over the next few months I’ll recommend shifting this portfolio to a Schwab Intelligent Portfolio or a model similar to the Schrodinger.
