Happy New Year We end 2025 with a review of the Millikan portfolio. Thus far this portfolio is performing very well and the expectation is that it will continue upward under the revised asset allocation model. This morning I sold all shares of VOO as I no longer desire extensive exposure to mega-cap AI stocks […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 30 December 2025
Carson is next to the last portfolio to be reviewed in 2025. Tomorrow I will update the Millikan portfolio. The Carson was one of the better performing portfolios during the month of November, indicating once more that the Sector BPI investing model is working as projected by the theory some years ago.

This morning I am reviewing another Sector BPI portfolio, the Franklin. Take time to listen to Ray Dalio in the YouTube video referenced at the bottom of this blog. Pay no attention to the movement that has Mr. Dalio riding on a bumpy airplane ride. Pay attention to the content. From everything I am reading […]
Copernicus Portfolio Update: 24 December 2025
Merry Christmas Copernicus is the last portfolio up for review before Christmas. The major change is to reduce holdings in VOO and shift the percentage over to RSP.
