Bohr Portfolio Review: 7 March 2023

March 7, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Bohr is an income/growth portfolio of which there are two.  The other portfolio following this model is the Bethe portfolio.  As readers will see in a moment, the current emphasis is on income as the Bohr is designed to generate $18,500 per year. When a retiree needs income there is always a difficult decision to […]

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 […]

Kepler Portfolio Management: 11 April 2023

April 11, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Kepler is the Relative Strength portfolio scheduled for review today.  As readers will soon see, this portfolio is not up to snuff when it comes to performance.  I’ll work with the BHS model for a few more months, but patience is running thin, particularly when models requiring much less work are performing much better.

Millikan Portfolio Update: 11 April 2023

April 11, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Given the over-bought signal generated yesterday for Utilities (VPU) I wanted to update at least one of the four Sector BPI portfolios to see how well it is performing based on annualized IRR data and risk factors such as the Jensen Performance Index.  Follow along as I walk through an update of the Millikan. Millikan […]

Franklin Portfolio Update With A Bard Example: 12 April 2023

April 12, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Franklin (named for Rosalind of DNA fame) is the portfolio scheduled for an update this morning.  Moments ago I checked the latest Sector BPI data and Utilities (VPU) remains in the overbought zone.  The recommendation is to place a 3% Trailing Stop Loss Order (TSLO) under VPU, assuming investors are holding that ETF in their […]

Bohr Portfolio Review: 13 April 2023

April 13, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Bohr is the portfolio scheduled for review today.  Some alterations are planned for this account so pay attention as I walk through what I see as some ways to “heal” or strengthen apparent weaknesses that are likely to arise in the Sector BPI model.  The plan is to make similar changes to the Bethe portfolio […]

Bethe Portfolio Update – A Three Tier Model: 14 April 2023

April 14, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Bethe is updated today as it is a good followup to the Bohr review posted yesterday.  These two portfolios are managed with a similar three tier approach.  The first order of business is to fill any Sector BPI recommendations.  The second management decision is to employ the Dual Momentum™ model if cash is available.  The […]

Gauss Portfolio Update: 15 April 2023

April 15, 2023 By Lowell Herr

This particular blog post is another example of how to address a potential weakness in the Sector BPI investing model.  The Gauss portfolio is one of four Sector BPI portfolios so it is an appropriate candidate for this change. Gauss Investment Quiver The following investment quiver is an expansion of the Sector BPI model and […]
