Kepler Asset Allocation Portfolio Update: 6 February 2026

February 6, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Kepler is in the rebuilding phase.  In addition, the asset allocation is one of the most conservative of all the ITA portfolios.  Three of the “most needed” sectors are part of the Kepler and they are:  Health, Utilities, and Consumer Staples.  Even in the most difficult financial periods these three ETFs hold stocks that provide […]

Gauss Portfolio Update: 5 February 2026

February 5, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  Gauss is another asset allocation portfolio designed to withstand a major draw-down of equities.  Trailing Stop Loss Orders (TSLOs) are in place for ETFs such as QUAL and RSP. I recently added VIG to the portfolio so it is not yet up to target.  Limit orders are in place to add more shares to […]

Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio: 4 February 2026

February 4, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Pauling is another asset allocation portfolio set up to provide some resistance should we experience a correction or worse, a recession.  The portfolio is slowly rounding into shape where most of the asset classes are close to their target percentages. The goal is to reinvest new cash deposits and dividends.  Assets most under target will […]

Huygens Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 2 February 2026

February 2, 2026 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

Huygens is the classic asset allocation portfolio.  While the selection of asset classes will vary from portfolio to portfolio, as will the percentages allocated to each class, the principle of diversification is a long-standing model for portfolio management. Late last year I reworked the asset allocations for the Huygens.  The goal is to provide growth […]

Einstein Portfolio Update: 30 January 2026

January 30, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Einstein is the portfolio scheduled for review this morning.  The asset allocation mix is set so from this point going forward all that is required is to keep the various asset classes as close to the target percentage as possible.  The goal is to keep each asset class (ETF) within one percentage point, but could […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 29 January 2026

January 29, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

The question, “Who will manage the family portfolio when I die?” gave rise to research into Robo Advisor services.  I looked into numerous services several years ago and actually invested money with several brokers to test their services.  Performance and cost were the two primary criteria when researching Robo Advisor options.  I finally settled on […]

Franklin Sector BPI Update: 28 January 2026

January 28, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

As with the Carson reviewed earlier this week, no changes are in store for the Franklin Sector BPI portfolio.  No sectors are in the oversold zone as we continue this bull market move.  Sectors in the overbought zone (70% bullish and higher) have Trailing Stop Loss Orders in place or are not part of the […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 27 January 2026

January 27, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

The Millikan is one of several asset allocation driven portfolios set up to handle a mild recession.  This portfolio is not as conservative as a few others managed here at Investment Trend Analysis (ITA).  In the second screenshot readers can see the three-year average volatility.  I’ll point out the specific column in a moment. Millikan […]
