Huygens Portfolio Update: 2 March 2026

March 2, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

We begin the month of March with an update of the Huygens.  The asset allocation model is a combination of equities for growth and income ETFs to provide some resistance should we see a major market draw-down.  Below I will explain how I am using Trailing Stop Loss Orders (TSLOs) to reduce major losses.

Pauling Portfolio Review: 3 March 2026

March 3, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Pauling is an asset allocation portfolio that is slowly working out of a performance deficit.  Over the past few months I have been reworking the asset allocation mix and that work is not quite complete as readers will see in one of the following screenshots.  Several asset classes are out of balance or not close […]

Gauss Portfolio Review: 5 March 2026

March 5, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Gauss is the portfolio up for review today.  The owner of this portfolio is not contributing significant amounts of cash each month so the re-balancing will need to come from dividends and interest income. Gauss is a very conservative portfolio as one can see from the low beta value of 0.27.  Conservative is defined in […]

Bethe Portfolio Review: 10 March 2026

March 10, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  Bethe is the conservative asset allocation portfolio scheduled for review today.  As I look over the current holdings, I may make a change in the future.  One that merits change is to sell QUAL and replace it with SCHD.  This switch would increase income and lower the overall portfolio beta. While the war in […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 11 March 2026

March 11, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Copernicus is the equity portfolio scheduled for review this morning.  Based on an over priced U.S. stock market I shifted the emphasis slightly, moving from the S&P 500 (VOO) over to several dividend oriented ETFs.  Below you see a significant percentage of the portfolio focusing on VIG, SCHD and VYM.  Yes, there will be overlapping […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 16 March 2026

March 16, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Millikan is a basic asset allocation portfolio.  As the portfolio currently stands cash holdings are high.  Limit orders are in place but may not be struck immediately as buy prices are well below the current prices.  And the delta is now even greater due to the surge this morning. If you are locked out of […]

Schrodinger Robo Advisor Portfolio Review: 23 March 2026

March 23, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Passive is the name of the game with the Schrodinger portfolio.  This computer managed portfolio is housed at Schwab and is known as an “Intelligent Portfolio.”  Thus far it has been quite intelligent. The update of prices are not reflected in the first screenshot below.  The portfolio is valued at over $164,000 and the owner […]

Einstein Portfolio Review: 24 March 2006

March 24, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Einstein is the portfolio up for review.  Einstein continues to be one of the poorest performing portfolios as the owner is funding graduate education resulting in money moving out of the portfolio at critical times.
