Pauling is one of three asset allocation portfolios I watch over here at ITA. The other two are the Schrodinger and the Huygens. Pauling and Huygens are new to this model as each has only been operational for three months. Asset Allocation as an investment model has a long history as most portfolios are constructed […]
Schrodinger Intelligent Portfolio Update: 28 June 2024
Saturday is not a normal day for me to update a portfolio as I prefer to buy and sell securities, if the analysis calls for a change, when the market is open. That is not the case with the Schrodinger as I don’t make the management decisions. Buy and sell decisions are determined by computer […]
Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 29 May 2024
Pauling is a recent Asset Allocation portfolio as performance has been a disappointment. Thus the change. If this Asset Allocation model does not show improvement over the next few months I’ll recommend shifting this portfolio to a Schwab Intelligent Portfolio or a model similar to the Schrodinger. The Pauling began the AA model about a […]
Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 16 May 2024
One of my favorite portfolios, the Schrodinger, is scheduled for review this morning. Why is it a favorite? 1) It is easy to manage as there is nothing to do but save. 2) Performance is excellent. 3) It is tax efficient if the account is greater than $50,000. 4) Risk is moderate. 5) Cost is […]
Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio in Review: 2 May 2024
After a few weeks since launch the Pauling is beginning to settle down into the Asset Allocation plan as envisioned. As with most portfolios I anticipate some additional evolutionary adjustments over the next year will occur. A few assets from the old model are currently oversubscribed or carry a higher percentage of the portfolio than […]
Huygens Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 10 April 2024
Welcome to the revised version of the Huygens Asset Allocation portfolio. There is a possibility the management of this portfolio will be taken over by its owner. To make the portfolio easier to manage I’ve set up an Asset Allocation model, quite similar to the Pauling II (soon to go back to the original name, […]
Pauling II Update: 1 April 2024
This interim update is to clue readers in on a few changes I made in the investment quiver and where the portfolio is after one day of trading. Numerous limit orders are still in place to purchase more shares for nearly all the asset classes. One not so obvious change is the weighting given to […]
Pauling II Asset Allocation Portfolio Launch: 1 April 2024
“A major part of any investment plan is portfolio asset allocation.” – Richard A. Ferri Welcome to the Pauling II Asset Allocation portfolio. Expanding on the Tentative Asset Allocation model, the Pauling II will use fifteen (15) asset classes, recognizing there will be some overlap between VTI, VOO, VO, VB, and QQQ. Expanding from 10 […]
