April 11, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Huygens is one of numerous portfolios managed using the time tested Asset Allocation approach.  While different asset classes or even different securities might be used, the basic approach is to diversify across the globe.  Readers see this is the plan for the Huygens.  We have domestic and international stock and bonds.  Real Estate is diversified […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 1 May 2025

Based on a rough economic market ahead I have […]

Kepler Portfolio Review: 2 May 2025

May 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Kepler is another portfolio managed using the simplified Asset Allocation model.  As with similar portfolios, I am gravitating towards capital preservation based on date from the Buffett Indicator and Shiller PE Ratio.  Later this morning I will post additional information on these two ratios. Disclaimer:  Rather than investment advice as to what you should do, […]

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  One major problem with the Einstein is that monies were withdrawn for educational purposes and these withdrawals occurred at times that definitely stunted growth.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 […]

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.
