September 25, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Darwin Portfolio Review: 22 September, 2026

September 22, 2026 By hedgehunter Leave a Comment

Creating a Recession Proof Portfolio

September 20, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

I recently asked ChatGPT the following.  “Create a five ETF portfolio designed to withstand a major stock market correction and or Financial Repression.” Here is the response from ChatGPT.

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 14 September 2026

September 14, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Copernicus continues to be the top performing portfolio tracked here on the ITA blog.  Two changes I made since the last review were to replace VIG with shares of RSP and SGOV.  SGOV is a short-term treasury and will overlap with SCHO.  RSP is an S&P 500 ETF, but instead of cap weighted it is […]
