Bethe is one of the portfolios recently shifted over to the Asset Allocation (AA) model as the owner is looking for long-time “stability.” Stability as best can be established for a financial account. As with the other AA portfolios, the Bethe is diversified widely across the globe using both equities and bonds. The portfolio includes […]
Bethe Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 6 November 2024
Bethe is another Asset Allocation portfolio that is approaching a balanced state. Since there is a 90% overlap in stocks held in VTI and VOO, I placed a Trailing Stop Loss Order of 3% for VTI. Inflation is currently not a problem so a TSLO of 1% is in place for TIP. Once cash available […]
Bethe Portfolio Review: 15 October 2024
Bethe is scheduled for an update this morning. I may have mentioned in a comment that I plan to simplify the Asset Allocation portfolios. More on this in a bit.

Bethe Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 12 August 2024
Bethe was first launched eight years ago, but not as an Asset Allocation portfolio. This month we begin a new (to the Bethe) investing approach with this portfolio. As we gather data from month to month we will see how this model performs, both on a return and risk basis. Diversification across the globe is […]
Bethe Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 30 July 2024

Should the portfolio be returned to the owner for management, they would be able to handle the AA model easily whereas the Sector BPI model requires a bit more work. One other significant change is the move […]
Bethe Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 5 July 2024
The big decision facing the Bethe is what to do with nearly half the portfolio resting in cash. It looks like this is not a summer to “Sell in May and go play.” Over the last few days shares of VTI and VOO were added to the Bethe. It goes against the grain to purchase […]
