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 […]

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 […]

Carson Portfolio Review: 26 February 2026

February 26, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Rachel Carson is the portfolio up for review this morning.  As the oldest Sector BPI portfolio I look to this one to see if the sector hypothesis is working out according to plan.  Thus far the data is quite positive as readers and followers of the Sector BPI model will soon see. No changes are […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Update: 24 February 2026

February 24, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

We begin the last week of February with an update of the Schrodinger, the single Robo Advisor portfolio tracked here on the ITA blog.  The Schrodinger has been operating for approximately 8.5 years.  I use a start date of 12/31/2021 in order to compare the performance with much younger portfolios. Over the past four plus […]

Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 20 February 2026

February 20, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Franklin is nearly 40 months old and still thriving as one of three Sector BPI portfolios.  Named after Rosalind Franklin, this portfolio is holding its own when compared to any of the six Internal Rate of Return (IRR) benchmarks and the Jensen Performance Index.  The Jensen is also known as the Jensen Alpha. Investors interested […]

Bohr Portfolio Review: 18 February 2026

February 18, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

While the Bohr portfolio is an Asset Allocation style portfolio, the emphasis is more on generating income than focusing on growth.  As a result the Bohr is not one of the better performing portfolio when compared to any of the six benchmarks I track here at ITA.  Should we see a market correction or worse […]

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 12 February 2026

February 12, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Copernicus, the all equity portfolio, is back for an update or review.  I’ve backed off from investing only in VOO or the S&P 500.  Ten of the 500 stocks in the S&P 500 make up 39.1% of the entire index.  Let one of the ten (10) sneeze and the S&P 500 index will come down […]
