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 […]

October 9, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Hawking Portfolio Review: 3 October, 2025

October 5, 2025 By hedgehunter 1 Comment

It has been 3 months since I last reported on the performance of the Hawking Portfolio – basically because it is essentially a “Buy-And-Hold” portfolio of Closed-End-Funds (CEFs) that pay out high monthly distributions/dividends and requires very little attention. In my last review I outlined why it is sometimes difficult to analyze these funds since […]

Millikan Preparation for 2026

September 27, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

As we approach the fourth quarter of 2025 I will be setting up portfolios for 2026.  The outlook is less promising for the coming year compared to 2025 so a more conservative approach makes sense.  The new asset allocation for the Millikan is designed to be a tad more recession proof compared to the previous […]
