This blog is designed to elicit contributions from readers as it pertains to selecting Closed-End-Funds (CEFs) for portfolio construction. Hedgehunter has already compiled a list of CEFs and these securities can be found in the Hawking portfolio. I started a list which can be found in the Kepler portfolio. I plan to screen both lists […]
Rutherford-Darwin Portfolio – Restructuring the Management Plan Part 1: Outline of New Structure and Strategies to be Used
Over the years we have described a number of systems for portfolio construction and management that might be considered by anyone interested in spending a little time to manage their own money.

Huygens Portfolio Review: 13 May 2025
Huygens is one of two portfolios using an expanded Asset Allocation (AA) management model. The other is the computer managed Schrodinger or Schwab’s Intelligent Portfolio. Over the past month the Huygens lost a bit of ground to its benchmark, the AOR security. Most likely the AOR is tilted a tad more toward equity holdings whereas […]

Darwin Portfolio Review: 3 January 2025
I do not post a review of the Darwin Portfolio very often because I rarely adjust it and it behaves, for the most part, like a Buy-And-Hold Portfolio. The Portfolio holds a handful of ETFs covering different market segments to provide diversification and reduce overall portfolio volatility. Asset allocation is determined by applying the principles […]
Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 5 April 2024
Franklin is the Sector BPI portfolio up for review today even though no sectors are in the oversold zone and we sold off all overbought sectors.

Reworking Pauling Portfolio: 20 November 2023
Based on discussions found in the Comment section of the most recent BPI blog post, below is an investment quiver that may be the future of the Sector BPI Plus portfolios.
