Dirac 2026 Portfolio Review: 13 May 2026

March 15, 2026 By hedgehunter Leave a Comment

It was a ~1.5% pullback in US Equity markets, as measured by the SPY ETF, that is the benchmark for the Dirac Portfolio. The Dirac Portfolio attempts to beat the performance of the benchmark by rotating between the sectors that compose this benchmark. Since my last review I have made two adjustments to holdings in […]

McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 13 March 2026

March 13, 2026 By Lowell Herr 3 Comments

McClintock is a Sector BPI portfolio that has been operating under this management style for nearly 29 months.  In this review we will check the performance over this period and look at how well it had done since 12/31/2021 or the launch date of the youngest ITA portfolio.  The Sector BPI investing model began as […]

Portfolio Hedging

March 12, 2026 By hedgehunter 1 Comment

Warning: This post is likely of no direct interest to most readers of this Blog – it is written for education and interest only, and outlines one of the potential advantages of using Options for portfolio insurance. These are nervous times and we should be concerned about preserving our hard-earned wealth in the months ahead. […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 11 March 2026

March 11, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Copernicus is the equity portfolio scheduled for review this morning.  Based on an over priced U.S. stock market I shifted the emphasis slightly, moving from the S&P 500 (VOO) over to several dividend oriented ETFs.  Below you see a significant percentage of the portfolio focusing on VIG, SCHD and VYM.  Yes, there will be overlapping […]

Bethe Portfolio Review: 10 March 2026

March 10, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  Bethe is the conservative asset allocation portfolio scheduled for review today.  As I look over the current holdings, I may make a change in the future.  One that merits change is to sell QUAL and replace it with SCHD.  This switch would increase income and lower the overall portfolio beta. While the war in […]

Kepler Portfolio Review: 6 March 2006

March 6, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Before moving into the Kepler update, I set limit orders for VCR in all three Sector BPI portfolios (Carson, Franklin, & McClintock) as the Consumer sector dropped within a whisker of the 30% oversold bullish mark. Now for the Kepler update.  As one of the poorer performing portfolios, the asset allocation was altered to be […]

Gauss Portfolio Review: 5 March 2026

March 5, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Gauss is the portfolio up for review today.  The owner of this portfolio is not contributing significant amounts of cash each month so the re-balancing will need to come from dividends and interest income. Gauss is a very conservative portfolio as one can see from the low beta value of 0.27.  Conservative is defined in […]

Pauling Portfolio Review: 3 March 2026

March 3, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Pauling is an asset allocation portfolio that is slowly working out of a performance deficit.  Over the past few months I have been reworking the asset allocation mix and that work is not quite complete as readers will see in one of the following screenshots.  Several asset classes are out of balance or not close […]

Huygens Portfolio Update: 2 March 2026

March 2, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

We begin the month of March with an update of the Huygens.  The asset allocation model is a combination of equities for growth and income ETFs to provide some resistance should we see a major market draw-down.  Below I will explain how I am using Trailing Stop Loss Orders (TSLOs) to reduce major losses.
