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 […]

Huygens Portfolio Review: 7 April 2026

April 7, 2026 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

Huygens is undergoing some minor asset allocation adjustments as I substituted a few “straight” equity ETFs with dividend oriented ETFs.  The portfolio holds a considerable percentage in cash.  Numerous limit orders are in place to use up all this cash.  I am in no hurry to go on a buying spree with the Huygens as […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 6 April 2026

April 6, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

We begin the week with an easy review.  While waiting for SHV dividends to show up in Bethe I’ll update the Copernicus, an “all equity” portfolio.  The asset allocation make-up of the Copernicus is designed for a young investor with many saving years ahead.  Many saving years might be defined as greater than 10 years […]

Gauss Asset Allocation Portfolio Update: 3 April 2026

April 3, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Gauss holds a similar set of ETFs as the Kepler.  In addition to securities found in the Kepler, three recession resistant ETFs are added.  They are:  Consumer Staples (VDC), Health (VHT) and Utilities (VPU). As with the Kepler I will wait for the SHV April dividends to be declared before selling shares and then placing […]

Kepler Simple Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 2 April 2026

April 2, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Kepler is in the throws of a major revision in the asset allocation and as a result holds a large percentage of the portfolio in cash.  How I plan to reinvest this cash is explained below.  Past withdrawals penalized the overall performance.  Rebuilding the portfolio will take time, but so I can compare performance with […]

Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio: 30 March 2026

March 30, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Pauling is the last portfolio I will be reviewing before the end of the first quarter.  The 4th quarter GDP of 2025 was revised to a meager 0.7%.  If the first quarter of 2026 comes in with a negative number we may well be on the way to a recession.  The Iran war is definitely […]
