McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 16 January 2026

January 16, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

We end an active week of portfolio reviews with an update of the McClintock.  McClintock is one of the youngest Sector BPI portfolios with a 2-year history.  Thus far the Sector BPI investing model is showing itself to be a very workable investing model.  None of the Sector BPI portfolios went through the 2022 draw-down […]

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 15 January 2026

January 15, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Here we are at the halfway point in January and it is time to update the top performing portfolio, Copernicus.  Copernicus is an equity only portfolio where I set out to invest only in S&P 500 equities.  With the market hovering at its high point diversification seemed prudent.  As a result I pulled back on […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 13 January 2026

January 13, 2026 By Lowell Herr 6 Comments

Millikan is another asset allocation model that is set up to handle a correction, but would need more work should we encounter a recession.  At this point the Millikan is very close to being in balance.  Check out the second screenshot. Millikan Asset Allocation Model Below is the current asset allocation model for the Millikan.  […]

Darwin 2026: 2 January 2026

January 4, 2026 By hedgehunter Leave a Comment

I have reset the Darwin Portfolio to a $100,000 investment portfolio with small changes to the asset list (“quiver”) and the introduction of a new algorithm for trading in 2026. This post outlines these changes and my plans for managing this portfolio going forward. Background I have now been developing/building systems for investment and trading […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Update: 2 January 2026

January 2, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Schrodinger is an excellent portfolio to launch this early in 2026 as there is nothing to do except report the results.  As mentioned each update of the Robo Advisor or Intelligent Portfolio, all the owner does is add new money to the account each month.  Dollar-cost-averaging is the reason this portfolio is performing so well.  […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 30 December 2025

December 30, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Carson is next to the last portfolio to be reviewed in 2025.  Tomorrow I will update the Millikan portfolio.  The Carson was one of the better performing portfolios during the month of November, indicating once more that the Sector BPI investing model is working as projected by the theory some years ago. No new sectors […]

Gifting a Grandchild

December 29, 2025 By Lowell Herr 3 Comments

What advice would you give a grandparent who would like to launch a retirement portfolio for one or more grandchildren?  To begin the discussion, assume the proposed gift is $25,000.  Should it be given as a lump sum or spread out over a period of time? Here are two possible plans one might undertake, depending […]

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 24 December 2025

December 24, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Merry Christmas Copernicus is the last portfolio up for review before Christmas.  The major change is to reduce holdings in VOO and shift the percentage over to RSP.  The reason for this move is to reduce exposure to mega-cap stocks that are over-valued and to increase exposure to mid- and small-cap stocks.  The “all U.S. […]

Gauss Portfolio Update: 22 December 2025

December 22, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Gauss is the portfolio up for review this morning and it is undergoing a few asset allocation adjustments.  Gauss is one of the better performing portfolios, due in part to no withdrawals since inception a number of years ago.  In addition to no withdrawals new cash is added from time to time.  This method of […]

Kepler Portfolio Update: 19 December 2025

December 19, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Kepler is the portfolio up for review this morning.  Major asset allocation changes are coming to the Kepler for two reasons.  1) The portfolio has been a poor performer.  Therefore adjustments are appropriate  2) The new asset allocation model is designed to be somewhat recession resistant.  I say “somewhat” as I don’t think there is […]
