Bohr Portfolio Review: 6 May 2025

May 7, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Bohr is a portfolio of moderate size managed using a few equity oriented ETFs.  As with the Kepler, Einstein and a few other portfolios, this account is following a similar conservative approach due to all the uncertainties surrounding the unnecessary tariff wars. Bohr Security Holdings The Bohr currently holds the following ETFs listed below.  Trailing […]

Einstein Portfolio Review: 8 May 2025

May 9, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

The Einstein portfolio is a recent entry into the Asset Allocation management model.  The shift was made to improve performance as this has been a struggling portfolio.  One major problem with the Einstein is that monies were withdrawn for educational purposes and these withdrawals occurred at times that definitely stunted growth.  Those withdrawal days are […]

Huygens Portfolio Review: 13 May 2025

May 14, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Huygens is one of two portfolios using an expanded Asset Allocation (AA) management model.  The other is the computer managed Schrodinger or Schwab’s Intelligent Portfolio.  Over the past month the Huygens lost a bit of ground to its benchmark, the AOR security.  Most likely the AOR is tilted a tad more toward equity holdings whereas […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 16 May 2025

May 16, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Since the last review Schwab made a number of changes in the Schrodinger.  It is rare for such changes.  I suspect Schwab performed some tax harvesting.  One change was to add a municipal bond ETF, SCMB.  The percentage is so small it will not have much impact on the overall performance. Schrodinger Security Holdings Below […]

Kepler Portfolio Review: 21 May 2025

May 21, 2025 By Lowell Herr 4 Comments

Followers of the Kepler will note major changes in the portfolio makeup.  The latest asset allocation is income driven as I am using a number of Closed-End-Funds (CEFs) to augment VOO and SCHD.  For more information on CEFs check out the latest Hawking portfolio and this blog post.

Bethe Portfolio Review: 23 May 2025

May 23, 2025 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

Bethe is another portfolio using the truncated asset allocation model.  A maximum of five Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are used to populate the Bethe. The down market this morning resulted in selling shares of VOO and investing in SHV, a short-term treasury.  Erratic tariff threats are once more roiling the stock and bond markets.  I […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 27 May 2025

May 27, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

On again, off again tariff threats are constantly roiling the stock and bond markets.  This morning the direction happens to be to the upside.  When in a dark room filled with furniture – stand still.  That is the attitude businesses have as it is most difficult to plan for the future when uncertainty abounds.  One […]

Gauss Portfolio Review: 28 May 2025

May 28, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Gauss is another portfolio using a truncated asset allocation model or one where very few ETFs are used to populate the portfolio.  In other words – Keep it simple.  In keeping with caution in this uncertain economic environment, I placed a 4.5% Trailing Stop Loss Order (TSLO) under VOO and a 2.0% TSLO under SCHG.  […]
