Have you been following the Hawking Portfolio? If not, you may want to give a close looking to this unique approach to investing. If income is of interest then investing in Closed End Funds (CEFs) is definitely an option. Before launching into this management model I highly recommend investors first read Steven Bavaria’s book, The […]
Bohr Portfolio Review: 12 July 2025
When developing a portfolio with retirement as a goal, do your best to never withdrawal funds as growth is interrupted. That is what happened to both the Bohr and Einstein portfolios. The owners of each needed funds for education and other emergencies. When funds are withdrawn the benefits of dollar-cost-averaging is broken, thus stunting portfolio […]
Hawking Portfolio Review: 14 July 2025
The Hawking Portfolio does not require a lot of attention as it is designed more as a Buy-And-Hold Portfolio to generate “Income” rather than to rely primarily on “growth” as required in more common equity portfolios. Although there may be exceptions to this, depending on how closely an investor might choose to monitor his or […]
Kepler CEF Portfolio Review: 28 July 2025
Kepler is a portfolio in transition. The move is from a growth portfolio to an income portfolio where the income is derived from Closed-End-Funds (CEFs). In a recent blog post I requested readers submit CEF ideas, but to limit them to no more than five (5) at a time. One recent recommendation (EIC) was added […]
Kepler CEF Portfolio Review: 12 August 2025
Kepler recently experienced changes in the portfolio makeup. I moved the Kepler to Closed-End-Funds (CEFs) in an experiment to see how well this investing model might work going forward. The Kepler is one of the poorest performing portfolios so it made sense to make a change. In this post I will explain how I go […]
Einstein Portfolio Review: 29 August 2025
The Einstein portfolio is likely the last account to be updated in August. This morning I sold shares of VOO and SCHD and invested in short-term treasuries, SHV. I also place a buy order for a few shares of SCHD at 5% below the current price. As dividends and new cash come in I will […]
Hawking Portfolio Review: 3 October, 2025
It has been 3 months since I last reported on the performance of the Hawking Portfolio – basically because it is essentially a “Buy-And-Hold” portfolio of Closed-End-Funds (CEFs) that pay out high monthly distributions/dividends and requires very little attention. In my last review I outlined why it is sometimes difficult to analyze these funds since […]
Kepler Portfolio Review: 23 January 2026
Kepler is the portfolio up for review this morning. When you look over the asset allocations you will observe this portfolio is heading in a very conservative direction. I am attempting to “recession proof” this account. When this bull market fever breaks it will be difficult to keep any assets on the positive side with […]
