Copernicus Portfolio Update: 28 June 2023

June 28, 2023 By Lowell Herr

After updating a few lackluster portfolios, it is refreshing to review a strong yet simple portfolio.  Other than the Schrodinger where the owner does noting but save, the Copernicus comes in a close second for simplicity. Copernicus Investment Quiver and Holdings Below
