Kepler is scheduled for a review later this month, but I moved it up as I am making a few changes. One change occurred this morning as I sold all shares of SHV (expense ratio of 15 basis points) and replaced it with shares of SCHO (expense ratio of 3 basis points) while increasing the […]
Kepler Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 30 April 2026
“The Kepler Asset Allocation Portfolio Review as of April 30, 2026, highlights the ongoing impacts of financial repression on investment strategies. In this environment, traditional asset classes exhibit altered risk-return profiles, necessitating a reevaluation of portfolio allocations. As we navigate these challenges, a strategic focus on diversifying assets becomes imperative to optimize performance. Continuous analysis […]
Kepler Simple Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 2 April 2026
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 […]
Kepler Portfolio Review: 6 March 2006
Before moving into the Kepler update, I set limit orders for VCR in all three Sector BPI portfolios (Carson, Franklin, & McClintock) as the Consumer sector dropped within a whisker of the 30% oversold bullish mark. Now for the Kepler update. As one of the poorer performing portfolios, the asset allocation was altered to be […]
Kepler Asset Allocation Portfolio Update: 6 February 2026

Three of the “most needed” sectors are part of the Kepler and they are: Health, Utilities, and Consumer Staples. Even in the most difficult financial periods these three ETFs hold stocks that provide […]
Kepler Portfolio Review: 23 January 2026
Kepler is the portfolio up for review this morning. When you look over the asset allocations you will observe this portfolio is heading in a very conservative direction. I am attempting to “recession proof” this account. When this bull market fever breaks it will be difficult to keep any assets on the positive side with […]
Kepler – “Recession Proof” Portfolio: 29 December 2025
Kepler is the portfolio scheduled for review this morning. “Recession Proof” is a misnomer as I am not sure there is any such thing unless one is an option expert, has some luck shorting bear markets, or someone who has access to financial vehicles available only to the very wealthy. The revised asset allocation for […]
Kepler Portfolio Update: 19 December 2025
Kepler is the portfolio up for review this morning. Major asset allocation changes are coming to the Kepler for two reasons. 1) The portfolio has been a poor performer. Therefore adjustments are appropriate 2) The new asset allocation model is designed to be somewhat recession resistant. I say “somewhat” as I don’t think there is […]
