Bohr Portfolio Review: 19 November 2025

November 19, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Last April I moved the portfolio management style over to Asset Allocation as the Bohr was not performing as expected.  Now that we face the high probability of a market crash, I am paying close attention to the recommendations that come out of the Kipling spreadsheet.  As readers will see in a moment, no equity […]

Bethe Asset Allocation Portfolio Update: 4 November 2025

November 4, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Bethe is the portfolio up for review this morning.  This portfolio is constructed primarily of equity ETFs and as such is taking a hit this morning.  Is this the draw-down we have expected for months or only a momentary pause?  To be determined over the next several months.  As readers will see, I am taking […]

Bethe Portfolio Review: 2 October 2025

October 9, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

As with the Einstein portfolio the Bethe is also in the rebuilding phase.  Perhaps all portfolios are rebuilding provided new cash is added on a regular basis.  Such is the case with the Bethe. Bethe Asset Allocation Holdings Below is the current Asset Allocation for the Bethe.  There are a few minor changes in the […]

Bethe Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 8 September 2025

September 8, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Readers will note a few changes in the asset allocation for the Bethe.  The expansion is in keeping with an equity oriented focus, but allows for a tad more diversity.  Caution continues to make sense and that is why the large holding in short-term treasuries (SHV).

Bethe Portfolio Review: 25 August 2025

August 26, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Bethe is another mini-asset allocation portfolio up for review.  If you have been reading this blog for any length of time you know I am leaning more and more toward capital preservation.  This interview with Howard Marks only tilts me further in this direction.  Pay particular attention to the S&P 500 statistics around the 5:50 […]

Bethe Portfolio Update: 30 July 2025

July 30, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Bethe is one of the “mini” asset allocation portfolios and one that needed rebalancing.  This morning I sold a significant number of SHV shares making rebalancing possible.  SCHD was most out of balance and I will explain below how I went about setting limit orders.

Bethe Portfolio Review: 30 June 2025

June 30, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Few changes took place within the Bethe portfolio since the last review.  A few more shares of SHV were added as I am taking a conservative approach with this portfolio.  I will most likely continue along these capital preservation lines until after the 2026 elections so patience is required.

Bethe Portfolio Review: 23 May 2025

May 23, 2025 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

Bethe is another portfolio using the truncated asset allocation model.  A maximum of five Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are used to populate the Bethe. The down market this morning resulted in selling shares of VOO and investing in SHV, a short-term treasury.  Erratic tariff threats are once more roiling the stock and bond markets.  I […]
