Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 15 May 2026

May 15, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Since the last review the computers at Schwab rebalanced the Schrodinger by adding shares to large cap equities and bonds.  Considering this overbought market both additions are somewhat puzzling.  However, I’m not going to quibble as the performance since 12/31/2021 has been excellent.  The portfolio is taking a major hit this morning as the market […]

Pauling Portfolio Review: 19 May 2026

May 19, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Pauling is an asset allocation driven portfolio with leanings toward “recession proof” if there is such an allocation.  Seventy percent of the portfolio is currently held in short-term treasuries and this is by design.  Should we see a 10% draw-down or what is classified as a correction, I will begin to sell some shares of […]

Einstein Portfolio Review: 20 May 2026

May 20, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Near the end of this blog post I gave ChatGPT this command or request.  “Create a 10 to 15 investment portfolio using ETFs where the portfolio is designed to withstand Financial Repression.”  The detailed response is given following this request.

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 26 May 2026

May 26, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Copernicus is a simple portfolio for investors with 10 to 15 years of saving years ahead.  With the U.S. Equities market at or near an all-time high I pulled back a tad on investing in ETFs that hold a high percentage in the mega-cap seven to ten type stocks.  Therefore, instead of investing a large […]

Gauss Portfolio Review: 1 June 2026

June 1, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

I gave ChatGPT the following instruction.  Below this sentence is the response from this AI source.  If you have access to a different AI program, give it the identical instruction and compare the results.  When I tried it with Microsoft the feedback would not specify ETFs. Create a diversified portfolio of 12 to 15 low […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 2 June 2026

June 2, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

The Millikan portfolio is the second of five portfolios to be reviewed and updated this week.  Once more the broad equities market is up slightly as I write this blog.  As readers will see in the first screenshot, I am patiently waiting for better buying opportunities as this is an overbought market. Millikan Security Holdings […]

Huygens Portfolio Review: 3 June 2026

June 3, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Huygens is the portfolio up for review this morning.  Before getting into the portfolio update here are three important measurements to use as references or indicators as to future market movement.  We know the Shiller CAPE and Buffett Indicator are both showing the market is overvalued.  This was also true in 1996, but the market […]

Bethe Portfolio Review: 4 June 2026

June 5, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  “Create a diversified portfolio for a retiree using 12 to 15 low cost ETFs with the goal to withstand a market correction or a recession.”  This is the request I made to ChatGPT.  Following is the answer to the request. For a retiree, the portfolio should focus on four objectives: Capital preservation during market […]
