Millikan Asset Allocation Portfolio: 6 May 2026

May 6, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 5 May 2026

May 5, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Yesterday I asked Google, “What is the origin of the Sector Bullish Percent Indicator investing model?”  Here is the reply. “The Bullish Percent Index (BPI) investing model was originally developed by Abe Cohen in 1955. Cohen, the founder of the market analysis service Investors Intelligence (then called ChartCraft), created it as a “market barometer” to […]

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 27 April 2026

April 27, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

The original management strategy for the Copernicus portfolio was to invest in the S&P 500 (SPY or VOO) and continue to do so while adding money on a regular basis.  I’ve deviated from that original plan slightly as the current market is overvalued or as we say, overbought.  However, this market continues to “climb the […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 23 April 2026

April 23, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Carson is one of three portfolios using the Sector BPI investing model.  When I updated the March performance I noticed the monthly loss for the Carson was 1/10 the loss of several asset allocation portfolios.  Just another reminder as to how well the Sector BPI investing model is working. Over the past several months there […]

Schrodinger Security Holdings Below are the current holdings in this Robo […]

Millikan is another Asset Allocation portfolio that is set up to resist a possible recession.  The portfolio is well diversified in that it covers all U.S. Equities, Developed International Equities, Emerging Markets, Gold, Artificial Intelligence, Dividend ETFs, and several essential sector ETFs.  I am not holding bonds in the Millikan as it is less important […]

McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 8 April 2026

April 8, 2026 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

McClintock is a relative young Sector BPI portfolio, launched in mid-October of 2023 so it did not experience the correction or market dip in 2022.  In this blog post I show the current holdings, Internal Rate of Return (IRR) performance, risk ratio data, and how well the different sectors performed since 11/01/2023. McClintock Sector ETF […]
