Huygens Portfolio Review: 7 April 2026

April 7, 2026 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

Huygens is undergoing some minor asset allocation adjustments as I substituted a few “straight” equity ETFs with dividend oriented ETFs.  The portfolio holds a considerable percentage in cash.  Numerous limit orders are in place to use up all this cash.  I am in no hurry to go on a buying spree with the Huygens as […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 9 April 2026

April 9, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Millikan is another Asset Allocation portfolio that is set up to resist a possible recession.  The portfolio is well diversified in that it covers all U.S. Equities, Developed International Equities, Emerging Markets, Gold, Artificial Intelligence, Dividend ETFs, and several essential sector ETFs.  I am not holding bonds in the Millikan as it is less important […]

Bethe Portfolio Review: 9 April 2026

April 9, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Bethe is the second portfolio to be reviewed today.  Like the Millikan, the Bethe is holding a significant percentage in cash as the current equities market is overvalued or overbought.  At this point I am in a waiting game to see what might trigger a market correction or worse.

Bohr Asset Allocation Portfolio Update: 10 April 2026

April 10, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Bohr is an asset allocation portfolio that has consistently lagged all possible benchmarks.  Assets were withdrawn at a critical period and this impacted performance.  The owner is now in the rebuilding process and this new asset allocation model should improve performance going forward.

Schrodinger Portfolio Update: 17 April 2026

April 17, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Time once more to update the Schrodinger, a truly passive portfolio as the owner does nothing except add cash to the account.  As the market moves higher the Schwab computers are standing pat and not purchasing additional shares despite increasing the level of cash. Schrodinger Security Holdings Below are the current holdings in this Robo […]

Einstein Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 20 April 2026

April 20, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Einstein is a basic asset allocation portfolio that is diversified all over the globe.  VTI and RSP cover U.S. Equities while VEA and VWO are the international ETF exposures.  This is one of several portfolios owned by an individual who has been providing educational support and those tuition withdrawals seem to come at times when […]

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 27 April 2026

April 27, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

The original management strategy for the Copernicus portfolio was to invest in the S&P 500 (SPY or VOO) and continue to do so while adding money on a regular basis.  I’ve deviated from that original plan slightly as the current market is overvalued or as we say, overbought.  However, this market continues to “climb the […]

Gauss Portfolio Review: 29 April 2026

April 29, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Yesterday the U.S. Equities market took quite a hit.  This morning stocks are down again.  What is going on to drive down the S&P 500, a good benchmark for monitoring the overall market?  Check out this YouTube video.  If the video does not start at the beginning, just move the slider back to the starting […]
