2025: A Year To Simplify

January 7, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Just as Hedgehunter is making a few portfolio changes, 2025 is a year for a few changes in several ITA portfolios.  Those that will remain unchanged, at least for now, are:  Copernicus, Schrodinger, and Carson.  Each of these three portfolios uses a different investing model. Copernicus:  Invest only in U.S. Equities.  Focus on VOO as […]

Darwin Portfolio Review: 3 January 2025

January 6, 2025 By hedgehunter

I do not post a review of the Darwin Portfolio very often because I rarely adjust it and it behaves, for the most part, like a Buy-And-Hold Portfolio. The Portfolio holds a handful of ETFs covering different market segments to provide diversification and reduce overall portfolio volatility. Asset allocation is determined by applying the principles […]

Bethe Asset Allocation Update: 6 January 2024

January 6, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Bethe is the Asset Allocation portfolio up for review this morning.  The last five weeks have not been what we wish for in portfolio performance and the weakness is showing up in this update of the Bethe.  Unrest in the energy sector continues to keep the stock market off balance.  Despite fourth quarter dividends 2024 […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Part 1 – Darwin): 3 January 2025

January 6, 2025 By hedgehunter

Although this post is titled “Rutherford Portfolio Review” it is not really a review of the portfolio that I have reported on in the past as I have (officially) closed that portfolio down in order to document how it is possible to manage relatively simple diversified portfolios in different ways. The appeal of a portfolio […]

Huygens Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 3 January 2025

January 3, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Huygens is another Asset Allocation portfolio that was launched in April of 2024.  In a few months we will have one year of data which will begin to provide some clues as to how well this particular array of assets perform.  If 2025 turns out to be as volatile as I anticipate, the coming months […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 2 January 2025

January 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr

While this Schrodinger post is going up on January 2nd, the data is accurate as of 31 December 2024.  The overall performance is quite strong despite the four percentage point loss in December.  This post of the Schrodinger marks the three-year point of data collection.  Overall, the results have been quite impressive and surpass my […]

Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 30 December 2024

December 30, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Franklin is the final scheduled portfolio review for 2024.  Instead of a Santa Clause rally we appear to merit only lumps of coal.  Is the market “girding its loins” for four years of chaos?  As I mentioned some time ago, we are likely to see some buying opportunities in the near future.  Several limit orders […]

Rutherford Portfolio Review: 27 December 2024

December 28, 2024 By hedgehunter

It was a rather uneventful week in the US Equity markets with relatively low volume as a consequence of the holidays. However, the SPX (S&P 500 Index) did manage to close the week ~0.5% higher than last week’s close despite a weak day on Friday: We are still in the middle of the uptrend channel […]

Millikan Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 27 December 2024

December 27, 2024 By Lowell Herr

We are fast closing out 2024.  The year is ending in a whimper as the Santa Claus rally did not materialize.  At least not for the ITA portfolios. The Millikan is one Sector BPI portfolio to watch as the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) nearly matches the SPY benchmark IRR.  The Millikan currently holds three […]

Kepler Asset Allocation Portfolio: 23 December 2024

December 24, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Merry Christmas Kepler is the last portfolio to be reviewed before Christmas.  This data is accurate as of the 23rd.  The owner of this portfolio needed cash during the recent bull market or not the best time to sell assets.  Now the portfolio needs to be replenished over the next few years.  If the volatility […]
