Copernicus All Seasons Portfolio Review: 27 March 2023

March 27, 2023 By Lowell Herr

While I’m a few days early updating the Copernicus, I need to insert this analysis into the mix for several reasons – new readers at the top of the list.  Before anyone is overwhelmed with the various management tools,

Schrodinger Robo Advisor Portfolio Update: 29 March 2023

March 29, 2023 By Lowell Herr

  The Schrodinger is a portfolio for all seasons.  Individuals preparing for retirement, and this applies to young folks in their 20s, would do well to take a close look at this Robo Advisor computer managed portfolio.  If one is still working and has little time to spend

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 3 May 2023

May 3, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 7 June 2023

June 7, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Portfolios fall into two major categories, actively managed or passively managed.  The Copernicus portfolio is of the latter variety as the plan is to invest only in U.S. Equities.  Only add or purchase Exchanged Traded Funds (ETFs) and only sell in an emergency.  Over the past 17 months

Pay Attention to Fees: 8 June 2023

June 8, 2023 By Lowell Herr

While I’ve written about management fees in prior blogs, it is useful to think about them again as fees can easily leave an “endowment” on the doorstep of an active manager.  A few readers will remember load funds where the cost to gain access to a fund cost 8.5%.
