It has been three months since I last reviewed the Hawking Portfolio and it has continued to churn out over $1,000 per month in dividends/distributions. The portfolio is essentially a Buy-and-Hold portfolio, although some actions might be taken that could
Copernicus Portfolio Review: 8 November 2024
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
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 4): 8 November 2024

I opened the Dirac Portfolio in March 2024, as an “Income” portfolio, with the intent of populating it with CEFs using a mean reversion strategy based on 12-month Z-scores. However, with the markets being in a strong uptrend through 2024, no funds were
