Pauling is an asset allocation driven portfolio with leanings toward “recession proof” if there is such an allocation. Seventy percent of the portfolio is currently held in short-term treasuries and this is by design. Should we see a 10% draw-down or what is classified as a correction, I will begin to sell some shares of […]

Dirac 2026 Portfolio Review: 15 May 2026
Last week I did not write a review of the Dirac Portfolio as a lot of confusing rotation between sectors seemed to be occurring. This has not changed a lot but I will update my adjustments over the past 2 weeks with some explanation of my actions. The analysis sheet for this portfolio currently looks […]
Darwin 2026 Portfolio Review: 15 May 2026
Yet another week with new all-time highs in the US Equity markets: After breaking through the potential resistance level of ~7400 on Wednesday, Thursday saw a strong move to the 7500 level where it hit new resistance at this phsychologically important (big round number) level. This may well be an example of a “blow-off” top […]
Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 15 May 2026
Since the last review the computers at Schwab rebalanced the Schrodinger by adding shares to large cap equities and bonds. Considering this overbought market both additions are somewhat puzzling. However, I’m not going to quibble as the performance since 12/31/2021 has been excellent. The portfolio is taking a major hit this morning as the market […]
Kepler Portfolio Update: 13 May 2026
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 […]
Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 12 May 2026
Franklin is one of three Sector BPI portfolios tracked here at ITA Wealth Management. This investing model is not likely to be available elsewhere on the Internet so pay close attention. Of the portfolios that are likely to withstand a recession as well as the coming Financial Repression, these three portfolios have a high probability […]
Darwin 2026 Portfolio Review: 8 May 2026
Another bullish week in the US Equity markets with the SPX (S&P 500 Index) again making new all-time highs: Prices closed at ~7400 (50% Fibonacci extension from the March Pivot low) that I had identified last week as the next potential area of resistance – we will see next week whether this level does present […]
Bethe Portfolio Review: 8 May 2026
Bethe is another portfolio built around the idea Financial Repression is in the future and needs to be faced and taken into account through portfolio construction. In the second screenshot you will see the current portfolio beta is very low. This simply means as currently constructed, the Bethe will move up or down approximately 1/3 […]
