                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Within the next two weeks look for more portfolio management that emphasizes capital preservation.  The Shiller P/E Ratio and Buffett Indicator are two metrics pointing toward a major market correction.</p>
<p>The investment logic behind the three Sector BPI portfolios is solid and should weather any type of major market draw-down.  The Schrodinger is out of my control so long as Schwab is managing that portfolio using their computers.  Portfolios that need attention are: Bohr, Bethe, Millikan, Kepler, Einstein, Pauling, Gauss, and Huygens.</p>

<p>As for the sectors, most are bullish.  Materials is still oversold as it continues with 23.07% bullish.  Shares of VAW were added to all three Sector BPI portfolios this week.  Energy is overbought. TSLOs are set to sell shares of VDE from each of the three Sector BPI portfolios.</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think most of the ITA portfolios are set up to handle the anticipated volatility coming in 2026.  In general, the plan is to encourage owners of the various portfolios to continue to save so I am able to dollar-cost-average.  The hope is to take advantage of market dips as they show themselves over the next 12 months.</p>
<p>SHV will be used as a holding tank for cash in order to capture higher interest than paid through money markets.</p>
