Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 19 September 2025

September 19, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

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

September 18, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  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

September 16, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

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

September 12, 2025 By Lowell Herr 3 Comments

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

September 10, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

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

September 5, 2025 By Lowell Herr 4 Comments

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 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

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 […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 21 August 2025

August 22, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Once more it is time to review or update the Schrodinger portfolio.  This Robo Advisor portfolio continues to perform very well despite the large percentage held in cash.  Should we experience a major draw-down, it will be interesting to see how the Schwab computers manage this account.  Will they begin to invest the cash and […]

Huygens Portfolio Review: 19 August 2025

August 20, 2025 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

Little has changed within the Huygens since the last review.  No new money was added and the few dividends are being used to purchase another share of SHV.  For any readers managing an Asset Allocation portfolio, and using the Kipling spreadsheet, follow along to see how I am rebalancing the Huygens. Main Menu Here are […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 15 August 2025

August 15, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

The Copernicus follows Warren Buffett’s advice to invest the major port of the portfolio in a low-cost index fund that tracks the S&P 500.  Over the last 3.7 years this management approach has paid off very well as readers will see in a moment.  The owner of this portfolios adds a few dollars each month […]
