Charitable Contributions Using Tax-Deferred Account

July 20, 2023 By Lowell Herr

When one reaches the age were Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) goes into effect it is wise to alter where charitable contributions originate.  In this blog I will explain why writing contribution checks on a tax-deferred account makes more sense than writing a check on a taxable account or from a checking account.  Here is an […]

July 20, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Millikan is the Sector BPI portfolio up for review this morning and the strong equities market is providing a boost to this portfolio.  As a relatively new investing model the Sector BPI approach is still operating under the microscope.  Consider this model is still operating in the hypothesis stage of development.  Thus far the results […]

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 19 July 2023

July 19, 2023 By Lowell Herr

As the oldest Sector BPI portfolio the Carson is the portfolio to watch if you are at all interested in this unique investing model.  Before starting this blog entry I updated the Bullish Percent Indicator data for the different sectors and several are calling for a Sell as the BPI values are overbought.  The sectors […]

Huygens Portfolio Review: 17 July 2023

July 18, 2023 By Lowell Herr

In the process of reviewing the Huygens there are a few significant items to bring to readers attention.  I’m gradually shifting the income model over to a growth model.  This may take a few months as I don’t want to sell off the CEFs at a significant loss.  The other issue, less visible, it the […]

Gauss Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 14 July 2023

July 14, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Gauss is the Sector BPI Plus portfolio up for review this morning.  A month or so ago I added a “tweak” to the original Sector BPI model in an effort to patch up what was a likely problem when a sector was sold and then returned to the overbought zone.  The patch added several equity […]

Bethe Portfolio Update: 13 July 2023

July 13, 2023 By Lowell Herr

In addition to updating the Bethe portfolio, this account is undergoing significant changes.  Simplification of the holdings is coming with the hopes of reducing portfolio churning while increasing the return/risk ratio.  Numerous limit orders are in place to sell most of the CEFs and as cash becomes available, shares will be purchased from a smaller […]

Pauling Portfolio Review: 12 July 2023

July 12, 2023 By Lowell Herr

While the Pauling was not scheduled for review today, the large percentage of cash in the portfolio required some attention.  This portfolio is either the poorest or next to the poorest performer of all the ITA portfolios.  That is another reason to keep on top of this account.  I’ve moved the investing model from the […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 11 July 2023

July 11, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Now that we are well into July and all second quarter dividends are reported, it is time to update the ITA portfolios and record those dividends.  Dividends are in short supply for the Copernicus as this is a growth oriented portfolio, not an income generator.  As a growth portfolio June was an excellent month as […]
