Rutherford-Darwin Portfolio Review: 6 June, 2025

June 8, 2025 By hedgehunter 1 Comment

It was a predictable week in US equity markets with the SPX (S&P 500 Index) testing the psychologically important 6000 “round number” level:

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 5 June 2025

June 6, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  Near the beginning of each month I generally update the Schrodinger portfolio as it requires no maintenance.  Computers do all the management work as this is a Robo Advisor portfolio housed at Schwab.  All the owner needs to do is save and sit back and let the market do its work.  All I do […]

Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 4 June 2025

June 5, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Franklin is the Sector BPI portfolio up for review.  Included in this blog post is evidence of the viability of the Sector BPI investing model.  Based on all the uncertainty surrounding the current administration I will be making some slight changes in what to do if no sectors are included for investment or if there […]

Rutherford-Darwin Portfolio – Restructuring the Management Plan Part 2A: Asset Allocation and Risk Management

June 5, 2025 By hedgehunter Leave a Comment

In part 2 of this series of posts on how I intend to construct and manage the Rutherford-Darwin portfolio going forward (https://itawealth.com/rutherford-darwin-portfolio-restructuring-the-management-plan-part-2-asset-allocation-and-risk-management/ ) I outlined methods for allocating funds to the portfolio – on the assumption that the relationship between price and volatility was the same for all assets. In that post I analyzed the […]

Bohr Portfolio Review: 4 June 2025

June 4, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

As with several other ITA portfolios, capital preservation is of significant importance to the owner of the Bohr portfolio.  As a result there is a willingness to give up potential returns during these uncertain times.  The on again, off again tariff battle is an anathema to business as it interferes with future planning.  Right now […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 2 June 2025

June 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

While this review of the Copernicus portfolio occurs in June, the data more appropriately belongs to May.  Take that into consideration as you read this update.  As followers of this portfolio know, this is a passive portfolio that focuses on investing only in U.S. Equities and is limited to large-cap stocks that track the S&P […]

May 31, 2025 By Lowell Herr 8 Comments

Thanks to Lee Cash, more information is available when it comes to identifying which CEFs to include in a portfolio.  Below are the two primary screens I will be using in the future to aid in the selection of CEFs. The first Internet source [CEF Connect] is one we have been using to identify the […]

Bullish Percent Indicator: 30 May 2025

May 31, 2025 By Lowell Herr 9 Comments

It has been several weeks since I last posted Bullish Percent Indicator (BPI) data.  No changes were recommended during this period, but this week the Communications sector moved into the overbought zone.  Portfolios holding VOX were alerted to sell.  With a 75% bullish percentage I placed 2.5% Trailing Stop Loss Orders (TSLOs) under VOX in […]

Pauling Portfolio Review: 29 May 2025

May 30, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Keeping it simple is the mantra of the Pauling portfolio.  Only a few ETFs are used to populate the Pauling.  As with several other portfolios using a truncated asset allocation management model preservation of capital is paramount.  I have one Trailing Stop Loss Order of 4.5% placed under the 22 shares of VOO.  If these […]
