Kepler CEF Portfolio Review: 12 September 2025

September 12, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

As one of the poorest performing portfolios, if not the least productive, it was encouraging to see Kepler turn in the top performance in August.  It might be an outlier or the beginnings of a strong future using Closed-End-Funds (CEFs).  The Kepler is certainly a portfolio to watch over the next several quarters. Shares of […]

McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 10 September 2025

September 10, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

In case you were unaware, all three Sector BPI portfolios are named after women scientists.  All three portfolios are performing quite well and if the Vanguard projection (see link at the bottom of this page) comes close reality these three portfolios should perform above average. I’ve been bearish on U.S. Equities for a number of […]

Gauss Revised Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 5 September 2025

September 5, 2025 By Lowell Herr 4 Comments

Instead of a complete review of the Gauss portfolio, I am laying out a new and expanded asset allocation model for this account.  This new asset allocation plan is global compared to the mini-asset allocation model currently in place.  Check the Gauss portfolio at the bottom of this post to compare the asset allocations. This […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 2 September 2025

September 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

September opens with a review of the Carson Sector BPI portfolio, one of the better performing accounts monitored here at ITA.  As equities rise or are holding at a high level, it has been many weeks since we last observed a sector in the oversold zone.  This is a time for patience as we are […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 21 August 2025

August 22, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Once more it is time to review or update the Schrodinger portfolio.  This Robo Advisor portfolio continues to perform very well despite the large percentage held in cash.  Should we experience a major draw-down, it will be interesting to see how the Schwab computers manage this account.  Will they begin to invest the cash and […]

Huygens Portfolio Review: 19 August 2025

August 20, 2025 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

Little has changed within the Huygens since the last review.  No new money was added and the few dividends are being used to purchase another share of SHV.  For any readers managing an Asset Allocation portfolio, and using the Kipling spreadsheet, follow along to see how I am rebalancing the Huygens. Main Menu Here are […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 15 August 2025

August 15, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

The Copernicus follows Warren Buffett’s advice to invest the major port of the portfolio in a low-cost index fund that tracks the S&P 500.  Over the last 3.7 years this management approach has paid off very well as readers will see in a moment.  The owner of this portfolios adds a few dollars each month […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 7 August 2025

August 7, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

I could have skipped this review as there has not been any action since the last update.  This blog will inform readers where the Carson portfolio currently stands and how well the Sector BPI model is working. Carson Security Holdings The bulk of the Carson is positioned in a short-term treasury, SHV.  Should there be […]

Dirac Portfolio Review: 4 August 2025

August 4, 2025 By hedgehunter 4 Comments

Since my last review on 18 July I have made a few adjustments to the Dirac Portfolio especially as a result of last Friday’s weakness in the US equity markets – since this portfolio is totally focused on these markets:

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 1 August 2025

August 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

  I am pushing the Copernicus review ahead of schedule as I want to see what damage or impact Friday’s selloff had on this equity oriented portfolio.  Low unemployment numbers and the coming tariffs are roiling the U.S. Equities market.  I expect this to continue into next week.  Political uncertainty, threats to institutions, and the […]
