Six months ago I altered the Pauling portfolio investing model. It now operates using the principles of Asset Allocation. When moving from one investing style to the Asset Allocation it takes time to bring the various asset classes into balance if one does not want to sell securities that are over subscribed. The Pauling is […]
Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 10 September 2024
Reviewing or updating asset allocation portfolios such as the Pauling is always interesting as there are generally a few small tweaks required. If something need attention it is due to new cash deposits, dividends of some significance were declared, or prices among the different asset classes changed. Nearly every month there is activity among these […]
Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio: 29 August 2024
Pauling is one of numerous Asset Allocation (AA) portfolios. I moved several portfolios over to this model due to the outstanding performance of the Schrodinger, a computer managed AA portfolio. I am also returning to the root of my investing instincts. As a summary, here are the basic investing models I am using here at […]
Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio Update: 8 August 2024

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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
