Copernicus Portfolio Review: 14 November 2025

November 14, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

As you move through this update of the Copernicus, don’t neglect to listen to the video linked at the bottom of the page.  There are other YouTube videos also explaining the seven stages that align before a major market draw-down.  Since the Copernicus is an equity only portfolio, how should one prepare this account for […]

Pauling Portfolio Review: 13 November 2025

November 13, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Pauling is one of several portfolios recently converted to the Asset Allocation management model.  While the assets may vary slightly from portfolio to portfolio, the general management model is the same.  Select Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) that represent different asset classes, set target percentages, and then follow the Kipling recommendations as to when to Buy […]

McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 11 November 2025

November 11, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

The McClintock is positioned much the same as it was last month.  Materials and Consumer Staples are the sectors of interest.  Several other sectors dipped into the 30% bullish zone and I set some limit orders to purchase one-half the target percentage or one-half the recommended shares when a Buy is triggered.  These limit orders […]

Gauss Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 7 November 2025

November 7, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Gauss is another portfolio using the Asset Allocation Model of investing.  This has been a brutal week for U.S. Equities as the S&P 500 is down another one percentage point as I write this blog.  We may be near the beginning of a market correction if not worse.  I thought the correction (down at least […]

Millikan Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 6 November 2025

November 6, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Millikan is one of several asset allocation portfolios.  The diversification is a tad more expansive in that the Millikan holds a few shares of GLD and BTCO.  As the various asset classes approach their target percentages, the goal for the Millikan is to use future dividends to maintain a balanced portfolio while not selling securities […]

Bethe Asset Allocation Portfolio Update: 4 November 2025

November 4, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Bethe is the portfolio up for review this morning.  This portfolio is constructed primarily of equity ETFs and as such is taking a hit this morning.  Is this the draw-down we have expected for months or only a momentary pause?  To be determined over the next several months.  As readers will see, I am taking […]

Kepler Portfolio Update: 3 November 2025

November 3, 2025 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

Kepler and Hawking are the two portfolios here on the ITA blog that are using Closed-End-Funds (CEFs) to populate their respective portfolios.  In general we are looking for CEFs that are priced at a discount and throw off a dividend of ~8% to ~12%.  Sometimes the yield will be outside these percentages. If you are […]
