Copernicus Portfolio Update: 27 April 2026

April 27, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

The original management strategy for the Copernicus portfolio was to invest in the S&P 500 (SPY or VOO) and continue to do so while adding money on a regular basis.  I’ve deviated from that original plan slightly as the current market is overvalued or as we say, overbought.  However, this market continues to “climb the […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 23 April 2026

April 23, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Carson is one of three portfolios using the Sector BPI investing model.  When I updated the March performance I noticed the monthly loss for the Carson was 1/10 the loss of several asset allocation portfolios.  Just another reminder as to how well the Sector BPI investing model is working. Over the past several months there […]

Millikan is another Asset Allocation portfolio that is set up to resist a possible recession.  The portfolio is well diversified in that it covers all U.S. Equities, Developed International Equities, Emerging Markets, Gold, Artificial Intelligence, Dividend ETFs, and several essential sector ETFs.  I am not holding bonds in the Millikan as it is less important […]

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 […]

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 […]
