“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” – Benjamin Franklin Copernicus is one of the easiest portfolios to manage as all one does is invest available cash in U.S. Equities.  Never sell unless there is an absolute emergency. If one were to simplify the Copernicus I would

2025: A Year To Simplify

January 7, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Just as Hedgehunter is making a few portfolio changes, 2025 is a year for a few changes in several ITA portfolios.  Those that will remain unchanged, at least for now, are:  Copernicus, Schrodinger, and Carson.  Each of these three portfolios uses a different investing model. Copernicus:  Invest

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 2 January 2025

January 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr

While this Schrodinger post is going up on January 2nd, the data is accurate as of 31 December 2024.  The overall performance is quite strong despite the four percentage point loss in December.  This post of the Schrodinger marks the three-year point of data collection.  Overall, the results

December 19, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Keep it simple is the philosophy of the Copernicus portfolio.  Invest only in U.S. Equities such as VOO and VTI and never sell unless there is an emergency.  Keep cash levels low and expenses to a minimum.  One reason for including ESGV as

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 4 December 2024

December 4, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Schrodinger Portfolio Update: 2 December 2024

December 2, 2024 By Lowell Herr

November was an excellent month for the Schrodinger as it increased more than 5% during this period.  For new readers to the ITA blog, the Schrodinger is based with Schwab and is known as an Intelligent Portfolio.  I refer to this type of portfolio as a Robo

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 8 November 2024

November 8, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Copernicus is one of my favorite portfolios for young investors or someone who has a 15-year or longer investment horizon.  The philosophy behind the Copernicus is to invest in U.S. Equities and never sell unless there is an emergency.  Since the portfolio invests only

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 4 November 2024

November 4, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Schrodinger is a portfolio I continually tout for investors not interested in spending time on their investment portfolio.  Schwab does it all using computer algorithms.  Answer a few questions, invest your money and Schwab will set up an Intelligent Portfolio based on your answers.  With the Schrodinger I’ve
