Pauling is one of the portfolios where I am simplifying or reducing the number of asset classes down to four. One of the four, SHV, is a holding tank for cash when none of the other three are calling for a Buy. I’ll explain this in more detail below as I go through the March […]
Pauling Portfolio Review: 30 April 2025
Pauling is another asset allocation portfolio managed using only four Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).

Pauling Portfolio Review: 29 May 2025
Keeping it simple is the mantra of the Pauling portfolio. Only a few ETFs are used to populate the Pauling.

Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 16 September 2025
Pauling is another “easy to manage” asset allocation portfolio. All asset classes have yet to be fully populated. That should take place over the next three to six months. I am still waiting to see what the FEDs do with interest rates and how tariffs impact the U.S. economy. Here in the Northwest regular gas […]
Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio: 10 October 2025
Pauling is another Asset Allocation portfolio settling in for a volatile 2026. As readers will see in the second screenshot, I sold shares of SHV in order to raise cash to rebalance the portfolio. More on the particulars later.
Pauling Portfolio Review: 13 November 2025
Pauling is one of several portfolios recently converted to the Asset Allocation management model.
