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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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  Assets were withdrawn at a critical period and this impacted performance.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.

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 […]

Gauss holds a similar set of ETFs as the Kepler.  In addition to securities found in the Kepler, three recession resistant ETFs are added.  They are:  Consumer Staples (VDC), Health (VHT) and Utilities (VPU). As with the Kepler I will wait for the SHV April dividends to be declared before selling shares and then placing […]

Kepler Simple Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 2 April 2026

April 2, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Kepler is in the throws of a major revision in the asset allocation and as a result holds a large percentage of the portfolio in cash.  How I plan to reinvest this cash is explained below.  Past withdrawals penalized the overall performance.  Rebuilding the portfolio will take time, but so I can compare performance with […]

Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio: 30 March 2026

March 30, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Pauling is the last portfolio I will be reviewing before the end of the first quarter.  The 4th quarter GDP of 2025 was revised to a meager 0.7%.  If the first quarter of 2026 comes in with a negative number we may well be on the way to a recession.  The Iran war is definitely […]
