Huygens Recession Portfolio Review: 28 November 2025

November 28, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Huygens is sporting a revised asset allocation model.  While it is unlikely one can set up a recession proof portfolio, the following group of Exchanged Traded Funds is my effort to do so.  While the Huygens will still have exposure to equity companies, the bulk of the portfolio is set up to generate income and […]

Huygens Portfolio Update: 18 December 2025

December 18, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Huygens is the asset allocation portfolio up for review this morning.  This portfolio is set up to “resist” taking too big a hit when the correction or recession sets in sometime over the next 12 to 18 months.  A correction or recession is certainly not a sure thing as interest rates will likely drop another […]

Huygens Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 6 January 2026

January 6, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Huygens is another asset allocation portfolio that needs a bit more work before all the diversified ETFs are in balance or within the target percentages.

Einstein Portfolio Update: 30 January 2026

January 30, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Einstein is the portfolio scheduled for review this morning.  The asset allocation mix is set so from this point going forward all that is required is to keep the various asset classes as close to the target percentage as possible.  The goal is to keep each asset class (ETF) within one percentage point, but could […]

Huygens Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 2 February 2026

February 2, 2026 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

Huygens is the classic asset allocation portfolio.  While the selection of asset classes will vary from portfolio to portfolio, as will the percentages allocated to each class, the principle of diversification is a long-standing model for portfolio management. Late last year I reworked the asset allocations for the Huygens.  The goal is to provide growth […]

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.

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 […]

Huygens Portfolio Review: 4 May 2026

May 4, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Huygens is the portfolio up for review today and in this portfolio I am rebalancing the account to counter the high probability the FED, with cooperation from the government, will strive to inflate their way out of the 39 trillion (and growing) national debt. The basic principle of spending less than you earn is ever […]
