Kepler – “Recession Proof” Portfolio: 29 December 2025

December 29, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Kepler is the portfolio scheduled for review this morning.  “Recession Proof” is a misnomer as I am not sure there is any such thing unless one is an option expert, has some luck shorting bear markets, or someone who has access to financial vehicles available only to the very wealthy.  The revised asset allocation for […]

Gifting a Grandchild

December 29, 2025 By Lowell Herr 3 Comments

What advice would you give a grandparent who would like to launch a retirement portfolio for one or more grandchildren?  To begin the discussion, assume the proposed gift is $25,000.  Should it be given as a lump sum or spread out over a period of time? Here are two possible plans one might undertake, depending […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 31 December 2025

December 31, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Happy New Year We end 2025 with a review of the Millikan portfolio.  Thus far this portfolio is performing very well and the expectation is that it will continue upward under the revised asset allocation model.  This morning I sold all shares of VOO as I no longer desire extensive exposure to mega-cap AI stocks […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Update: 2 January 2026

January 2, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Schrodinger is an excellent portfolio to launch this early in 2026 as there is nothing to do except report the results.  As mentioned each update of the Robo Advisor or Intelligent Portfolio, all the owner does is add new money to the account each month.  Dollar-cost-averaging is the reason this portfolio is performing so well.  […]

Bethe Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 5 January 2026

January 5, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

During the month of December I made an effort to position all Asset Allocation portfolios to where they were set to operate without much change in 2026.  Bethe is one of those portfolios and as readers will see in a moment, the portfolio is positioned well to handle what is coming in 2026.  At least […]

Huygens Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 6 January 2026

January 6, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Huygens is another asset allocation portfolio that needs a bit more work before all the diversified ETFs are in balance or within the target percentages.

Einstein Portfolio Update: 8 January 2026

January 8, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Einstein is the portfolio up for review this morning.  Einstein is either the poorest performer here at ITA or one of the poorest.  Without excess excuses there is a reason for not doing well.  This portfolio has been the source for educational funding by the owner.  As a result, dollars were pulled out at tuition […]
