Millikan Asset Allocation Portfolio Update: 5 February 2025

February 5, 2025 By Lowell Herr

The Millikan portfolio is the other Sector BPI portfolio I am switching to a simplified asset allocation investment model.  It will likely take a few more reviews before the portfolio is in balance. The current beta is 0.71.  When in total balance the beta should drop below 0.5 indicating it is a very conservative portfolio. […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 6 February 2025

February 6, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Once more it is time to update the highly touted Schrodinger portfolio.  This account is a Schwab “Intelligent Portfolio” managed by computer.  I think of this style of portfolio as a Robo Advisor portfolio.  As an investor interested in setting up such an account, all one needs to do is invest the minimum amount of […]

Einstein Portfolio Update: 11 February 2025

February 11, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Einstein is the portfolio up for review this morning.  As mentioned in a prior blog post the owner of the Einstein needed educational funds at the wrong time based on market action.  Selling shares in a down market is not conducive to producing good results.  As a result, this portfolio is an under-performer whereas the […]

Kepler Portfolio Review: 13 February 2025

February 13, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Kepler is the small portfolio up for review this morning.  The owner is rebuilding this portfolio as it looks like all educational expenses are in the rear view mirror.  As readers will see in the following update, this portfolio is finally coming into balance.  In other words, the various assets are closing in on the […]

Millikan Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 18 February 2025

February 18, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Millikan is the asset allocation portfolio scheduled for review this morning.  This is a simplified version of other asset allocation portfolios in that the Millikan is using only six ETFs.  With the Millikan there is less emphasis on equities.  Bonds and treasuries make up a higher percentage of this portfolio, thus reducing the beta.  The […]

Gauss Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 19 February 2025

February 19, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Gauss is one of the portfolios converted from the Sector BPI investing model over to a simplified Asset Allocation investing model.  This will reduce workload as well as shift investments toward a more conservative asset allocation.  As with the Millikan portfolio, update posted yesterday, the Gauss is moving toward a very low beta value.  There […]

Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio: 21 February 2025

February 21, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Pauling is an Asset Allocation portfolio holding a wide variety of ETFs designed to cover the globe.  A sizable percentage of the portfolio is allocated to international markets, something not emphasized within a number of other ITA portfolios.  Diversification is one of the key ingredients of this portfolio.

Huygens Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 21 February 2025

February 22, 2025 By Lowell Herr

By the end of the week portfolios last updated back in January will at least have information as current as February.  Huygens is such a portfolio as it has been weeks since the last review.  Huygens is an asset allocation portfolio that is slowly coming into balance. I plan to focus on bringing monthly dividend […]
