Financial Repression Portfolio: Part V

May 4, 2026 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

Bethe Portfolio Review: 9 April 2026

April 9, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Bethe is the second portfolio to be reviewed today.  Like the Millikan, the Bethe is holding a significant percentage in cash as the current equities market is overvalued or overbought.  At this point I am in a waiting game to see what might trigger a market correction or worse.
