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

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

Gauss Portfolio Review: 28 May 2025

May 28, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Bohr Portfolio Review: 4 June 2025

June 4, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

As with several other ITA portfolios, capital preservation is of significant importance to the owner of the Bohr portfolio.  As a result there is a willingness to give up potential returns during these uncertain times.  The on again, off again tariff battle is an anathema to business
