2025: A Year To Simplify

January 7, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Just as Hedgehunter is making a few portfolio changes, 2025 is a year for a few changes in several ITA portfolios.  Those that will remain unchanged, at least for now, are:  Copernicus, Schrodinger, and Carson.  Each of these three portfolios uses a different investing model. Copernicus:  Invest only in U.S. Equities.  Focus on VOO as […]

Darwin Portfolio Review: 3 January 2025

January 6, 2025 By hedgehunter 2 Comments

I do not post a review of the Darwin Portfolio very often because I rarely adjust it and it behaves, for the most part, like a Buy-And-Hold Portfolio. The Portfolio holds a handful of ETFs covering different market segments to provide diversification and reduce overall portfolio volatility. Asset allocation is determined by applying the principles […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Part 1 – Darwin): 3 January 2025

January 6, 2025 By hedgehunter 1 Comment

Although this post is titled “Rutherford Portfolio Review” it is not really a review of the portfolio that I have reported on in the past as I have (officially) closed that portfolio down in order to document how it is possible to manage relatively simple diversified portfolios in different ways. The appeal of a portfolio […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 2 January 2025

January 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

While this Schrodinger post is going up on January 2nd, the data is accurate as of 31 December 2024.  The overall performance is quite strong despite the four percentage point loss in December.  This post of the Schrodinger marks the three-year point of data collection.  Overall, the results have been quite impressive and surpass my […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review: 27 December 2024

December 28, 2024 By hedgehunter Leave a Comment

It was a rather uneventful week in the US Equity markets with relatively low volume as a consequence of the holidays. However, the SPX (S&P 500 Index) did manage to close the week ~0.5% higher than last week’s close despite a weak day on Friday: We are still in the middle of the uptrend channel […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 2): 20 December 2024

December 21, 2024 By hedgehunter Leave a Comment

Mr Powell seems to be the Grinch who stole Christmas and blocked Santa’s rally to the 6200 level. Investors did not react well to Mr Powell’s statements that there might only be two rate cuts next year and US markets dropped close to 4% following his comments before recovering some of this on Friday: However, […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 19 December 2024

December 19, 2024 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Keep it simple is the philosophy of the Copernicus portfolio.  Invest only in U.S. Equities such as VOO and VTI and never sell unless there is an emergency.  Keep cash levels low and expenses to a minimum.  One reason for including ESGV as part of the portfolio is to purchase shares if the remaining cash […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 1): 13 December 2024

December 14, 2024 By hedgehunter Leave a Comment

Partial Remains of Hadrian’s Wall – a 73 Mile Fortress of the Roman Empire across the North of England US equity markets were quiet again this week remaining in consolidation mode around the 6100 level in the SPX (S&P 500 Index): Prices closed ~1% lower than last week’s close but Santa still has a couple […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 4): 6 December 2024

December 9, 2024 By hedgehunter Leave a Comment

It was a relatively quiet week in the US Equity markets but the SPX (S&P 500 Index) eased through the 6000 resistance level and edged slightly higher for yet another week, closing at ~6090: In terms of relative performance, US Equities (as represented by VTI) closed in the middle of the pack with Emerging Markets […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 4 December 2024

December 4, 2024 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Next to the Schrodinger the Copernicus is the easiest portfolio to manage as it is an all equity account using VOO and VTI as the primary investment securities.  By focusing on equities such as VOO the goal is to keep pace with the S&P 500 index or SPY, the index ETF.  Thus far the portfolio […]
