Huygens Portfolio Review: 22 July 2025

July 22, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Huygens is an Asset Allocation (AA) portfolio built using a conventional set of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) primarily from Vanguard.  The AA model has only been operational with the Huygens for approximately 16 months so the history is limited.  This management style is similar to what is used with the Schrodinger, but the securities are […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 18 July 2025

July 19, 2025 By Lowell Herr 3 Comments

Carson is the oldest Sector BPI portfolio or the one providing the best information as to how well this investing model works.  As yet I have not seen another website using this investing model.  If ITA readers ever spot something similar, pass the link or pertinent information along. Carson Security Holdings Health was sold out […]

Hawking Portfolio Review: 14 July 2025

July 15, 2025 By hedgehunter 4 Comments

The Hawking Portfolio does not require a lot of attention as it is designed more as a Buy-And-Hold Portfolio to generate “Income” rather than to rely primarily on “growth” as required in more common equity portfolios.  Although there may be exceptions to this, depending on how closely an investor might choose to monitor his or […]

Bohr Portfolio Review: 12 July 2025

July 12, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

When developing a portfolio with retirement as a goal, do your best to never withdrawal funds as growth is interrupted.  That is what happened to both the Bohr and Einstein portfolios.  The owners of each needed funds for education and other emergencies.  When funds are withdrawn the benefits of dollar-cost-averaging is broken, thus stunting portfolio […]

Questions To Ask Your Money Manager

July 11, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  Recently I was talking with a neighbor and I mentioned that I have been writing an investment blog for over 17 years.  The neighbor mentioned he has a money manager handle his investments.  When I have one of these conversations my mind begins to come up with questions I would ask a money manager […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 3 July 2025

July 5, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

When the Copernicus portfolio was first launched back in early 2022 it was young investors I had in mind.  Simplicity was a primary factor since I assumed someone following the Copernicus model would have little time to pay attention to any investing model other than to purchase an ETF now and again when cash became […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 1 July 2025

July 1, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

While the Millikan portfolio is dated July 1, the information is primarily June data.  The Millikan portfolio is narrowly focused on four Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).  As readers will see in a moment, I am deviating from the basic asset allocation recommendations as we have yet to see the impact of proposed tariffs and the […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 20 June 2025

June 21, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Welcome to the Summer of 2025.  Since computers make all decisions related to the Schrodinger, the weekend is an appropriate time to update this portfolio.  Since the last review no changes were made other than to pick up a few dividends.  In the next Schrodinger portfolio review second quarter dividends will appear and the hope […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 18 June 2025

June 19, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Over the last month several sectors were sold out of the Carson due to sufficient declines in the ETFs used to mirror specific sectors.  Remaining in the Carson are: Consumer Staples (VDC), Healthcare (VHT), and a shard holding of Utilities (VPU).  With wars and rumors of wars loaded on top of tariffs plus a no-nothing […]

Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 12 June 2025

June 12, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

One benefit of Sector BPI portfolios such as the Franklin is that there is a built in capital preservation ingredient inherent in the management model.  While Trailing Stop Loss Orders (TSLOs) may not be ideal, based on historical data, they are working for the three Sector BPI portfolios.  Check portfolios Carson and McClintock for further […]
