Einstein Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 5 November 2024

November 5, 2024 By Lowell Herr

During this year (2024) several portfolios were shifted to the Asset Allocation investing model in an effort to return to my investing roots.  The Einstein is one such portfolio.  What I am attempting to do with these portfolios is to get each one close to the recommended percentage for each asset class.  The percentage recommendations […]

Bethe Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 6 November 2024

November 6, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Bethe is another Asset Allocation portfolio that is approaching a balanced state.  Since there is a 90% overlap in stocks held in VTI and VOO, I placed a Trailing Stop Loss Order of 3% for VTI.  Inflation is currently not a problem so a TSLO of 1% is in place for TIP.  Once cash available […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 8 November 2024

November 8, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Copernicus is one of my favorite portfolios for young investors or someone who has a 15-year or longer investment horizon.  The philosophy behind the Copernicus is to invest in U.S. Equities and never sell unless there is an emergency.  Since the portfolio invests only in U.S. Equities the S&P 500 is an appropriate benchmark. The […]

Bohr Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 13 November 2024

November 12, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Bohr is one of several portfolios that were transferred over to the Asset Allocation (AA) investing model within the last year.  AA is the model commonly used to manage portfolios as it is well diversified to handle various market conditions.  Although well diversified there is no guarantee if will always generate positive returns.  Even bonds […]

Kepler Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 14 November 2024

November 15, 2024 By Lowell Herr

  Thanksgiving greetings to Canadians, U.S, readers, and to all those around the world who celebrate Thanksgiving sometime in November. And now to the Kepler update.  This portfolio has been lagging the benchmark for a few years so I moved it over to the Asset Allocation model this spring with the hope a more diversified […]

Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 18 November 2024

November 17, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Pauling is one of several Asset Allocation portfolios launched in early April of this year (2024).  In an effort to reduce taxes I avoid selling appreciated Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).  This strategy slows down the rebalancing process.  Rebalancing takes place when fresh cash is deposited or dividends are declared. For Asset Allocation portfolios valued below […]

Kepler Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 19 November 2024

November 19, 2024 By Lowell Herr

When well into this update of the Kepler I realized the portfolio was reviewed only a few days ago.  Since all the screenshots are uploaded I’ll proceed with the update.  Little has changed other than the addition of new cash and the purchase of a few asset classes still out of balance.

Huygens Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 21 November 2024

November 21, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Since the last review of the Huygens portfolio I made a few small adjustments in the asset allocation percentages.  I decreased the percentages to Developed International Equities (VEA) and Emerging Markets (VWO).  Those percentages were shifted to VOO, VO, and VB.
