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
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
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 […]
Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 19 September 2025
Of the 13 portfolios I track here at ITA the three Sector BPI portfolios are the most complicated to manage as they require access to Bullish Percentage Indicator graphs. I use StockCharts for this information. Last Friday the Consumer Staples sector came so close to the 30% bullish signal that I placed orders for VDC […]
Copernicus Portfolio Update: 18 September 2025
The Copernicus has essentially operated as a passive portfolio. Save and invest in broad market equity ETFs has been the philosophy up to this point. With an overvalued stock market what is the next move? I plan to swap SCHD with VYM and continue dollar-cost-averaging into equities. Instead of buying at market or setting […]
Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 16 September 2025
Pauling is another “easy to manage” asset allocation portfolio. All asset classes have yet to be fully populated. That should take place over the next three to six months. I am still waiting to see what the FEDs do with interest rates and how tariffs impact the U.S. economy. Here in the Northwest regular gas […]
Kepler CEF Portfolio Review: 12 September 2025
As one of the poorest performing portfolios, if not the least productive, it was encouraging to see Kepler turn in the top performance in August. It might be an outlier or the beginnings of a strong future using Closed-End-Funds (CEFs). The Kepler is certainly a portfolio to watch over the next several quarters. Shares of […]
McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 10 September 2025
In case you were unaware, all three Sector BPI portfolios are named after women scientists. All three portfolios are performing quite well and if the Vanguard projection (see link at the bottom of this page) comes close reality these three portfolios should perform above average. I’ve been bearish on U.S. Equities for a number of […]
Gauss Revised Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 5 September 2025
Instead of a complete review of the Gauss portfolio, I am laying out a new and expanded asset allocation model for this account. This new asset allocation plan is global compared to the mini-asset allocation model currently in place. Check the Gauss portfolio at the bottom of this post to compare the asset allocations. This […]
Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 2 September 2025
September opens with a review of the Carson Sector BPI portfolio, one of the better performing accounts monitored here at ITA. As equities rise or are holding at a high level, it has been many weeks since we last observed a sector in the oversold zone. This is a time for patience as we are […]
