Copernicus Portfolio Review: 14 October 2025

October 14, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Copernicus is one of the better performing ITA portfolios.  Set up to invest primarily in U.S. Equities the current portfolio is carrying an excess amount of cash as better buying opportunities are anticipated sometime in 2026. Copernicus Security Holdings Below is the current security holdings within the Copernicus portfolio.  Numerous limit orders are in place […]

McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 9 October 2025

October 9, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  Faced with the high probability U.S. Equities is in for a correction, if not worse, how should an investor manage their portfolio?  The decision is much easier for Sector BPI portfolios such as the McClintock, Carson, and Franklin as this investing model is designed to take advantage of market volatility.  The decision is not […]

Hawking Portfolio Review: 3 October, 2025

October 5, 2025 By hedgehunter 1 Comment

It has been 3 months since I last reported on the performance of the Hawking Portfolio – basically because it is essentially a “Buy-And-Hold” portfolio of Closed-End-Funds (CEFs) that pay out high monthly distributions/dividends and requires very little attention. In my last review I outlined why it is sometimes difficult to analyze these funds since […]

Millikan Preparation for 2026

September 27, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

As we approach the fourth quarter of 2025 I will be setting up portfolios for 2026.  The outlook is less promising for the coming year compared to 2025 so a more conservative approach makes sense.  The new asset allocation for the Millikan is designed to be a tad more recession proof compared to the previous […]

McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 26 September 2025

September 26, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Little has changed since the recent recommendation to purchase shares in Consumer Staples.  VDC is the Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) that covers this sector of the U.S. Equities market.  I recently purchased 15 shares of VDC as Consumer Staples dropped below the 30% Bullish Percent Indicator line.  If you are a new ITA reader or […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Update: 25 September 2025

September 25, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Schrodinger had an excellent August with a 3.5% return on investments.  This computer manage portfolio is performing very well as readers will see as they read through this blog.  Should we see a recession in 2026 it will be interesting to see how this Robo Advisor portfolio responds to a draw-down. Schrodinger Asset Allocations Below […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 22 September 2005

September 22, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

We begin Fall with an update of the Carson portfolio, the original Sector BPI portfolio.  When Consumer Staples dropped into the oversold zone I added more shares of VDC not realizing the Carson already held shares representing this sector.  That is why the portfolio has an abundance of this security. This morning I invested the […]
