Millikan Portfolio Review: 27 May 2025

May 27, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

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 future when uncertainty abounds.  One […]

Rutherford-Darwin Portfolio – Restructuring the Management Plan Part 3: Generating additional Income and Hedging

May 27, 2025 By hedgehunter Leave a Comment

In Part 1 of this series of posts on how I intend to construct and manage the Rutherford-Darwin portfolio going forward I identified the nine ETFs that I would be using to populate the portfolio. I also indicated that, rather than holding all nine ETFs in a “Buy-and-Hold” portfolio that I would be selecting only […]

Gauss Portfolio Review: 28 May 2025

May 28, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Gauss is another portfolio using a truncated asset allocation model or one where very few ETFs are used to populate the portfolio.  In other words – Keep it simple.  In keeping with caution in this uncertain economic environment, I placed a 4.5% Trailing Stop Loss Order (TSLO) under VOO and a 2.0% TSLO under SCHG.  […]

Pauling Portfolio Review: 29 May 2025

May 30, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Keeping it simple is the mantra of the Pauling portfolio.  Only a few ETFs are used to populate the Pauling.  As with several other portfolios using a truncated asset allocation management model preservation of capital is paramount.  I have one Trailing Stop Loss Order of 4.5% placed under the 22 shares of VOO.  If these […]

Thanks to Lee Cash, more information is available when it comes to identifying which CEFs to include in a portfolio.  Below are the two primary screens I will be using in the future to aid in the selection of CEFs.

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 2 June 2025

June 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

While this review of the Copernicus portfolio occurs in June, the data more appropriately belongs to May.  Take that into consideration as you read this update.  As followers of this portfolio know, this is a passive portfolio that focuses on investing only in U.S. Equities and is limited to large-cap stocks that track the S&P […]

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 as it interferes with future planning.  Right now […]
