Dirac Portfolio Review: 8 January 2025

April 27, 2025 By hedgehunter

I have sadly neglected the Dirac Portfolio after taking money out of the account for other purposes with the intention of rebuilding once the money was returned to the account. My intention was to invest in beaten down Funds (based on Z-Score calculations) but this plan was somewhat thwarted by the stong bull market through […]

Gauss Portfolio Review: 28 April 2025

April 28, 2025 By Lowell Herr

  Gauss is one of the simplified Asset Allocation portfolios in that only four ETFs are used.  SHV is used as a holding basket when cash becomes available.  Due to the chaotic market I set TSLOs under VOO and SCHG as I assume the current administration will make several mistakes that will have a negative […]

McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 29 April 2025

April 29, 2025 By Lowell Herr

McClintock is one of three portfolios managed using the Sector BPI model.  The other two are the Carson and Franklin, named after Rachel and Rosalind respectively.  During the recent market declines numerous sectors dropped into the oversold zone.  In other words, many sectors ended up with 30% or fewer bullish stock within the sector.  When […]

Pauling Portfolio Review: 30 April 2025

April 30, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Pauling is another asset allocation portfolio managed using only four Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).  Only two months of data is in the bank for this portfolio so it is much too early to know if this model is working as hypothesized.  The makeup of the Pauling is not all that different from the Copernicus.  The […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 1 May 2025

May 1, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Headline news this morning – “Trump’s tariffs have left businesses in a ‘state of near paralysis’.” Advanced planning is nearly impossible do to an erratic administration that is in the hands of one person.  A person who was not even able to make casinos a success. Based on a rough economic market ahead I have […]

Kepler Portfolio Review: 2 May 2025

May 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr

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, […]

Buffett Indicator & Shiller PE Ratio

May 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Canyonland National Park Over the last few weeks I’ve been setting Trailing Stop Loss Orders (TSLOs) for VTI, VOO, and SCHG when portfolios holding these securities come up for review.  The tariff wars are causing market uncertainty, but tariffs are not the only reason for setting TSLOs.  Erratic administration behavior only exacerbates an overbought market. […]

Rutherford-Darwin Portfolio Review: 2 May 2025

May 3, 2025 By hedgehunter

In last week’s review I stated that we were at an interesting level in the SPX (S&P 500 Index) as we were sitting at potential resistance and would have to wait to see whether this resistance held or whether we would see a push through it within the long term (March 2020 – February 2025) […]
