Kepler Portfolio Review: 17 November 2025

November 17, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Kepler is one of the poorest performing portfolios tracked here at ITA.  Hence, a major shift in the asset allocation. In preparation for the anticipated recession (or worse} I am revamping the asset allocation.  Simplification is the direction I am moving with the Kepler.  For the foreseeable future the portfolio will primarily be populated by […]

Einstein Asset Allocation Portfolio Update: 5 December 2025

December 5, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  Einstein is one of several portfolios set up to resist major market draw-downs.  Should we encounter a recession in 2026 there is likely no place to hide other than to short the equities market.  Historically the stock market trends up so shorting the market is definitely bucking the long-term trend.  This is why I […]

Bethe Portfolio Review: 8 December 2025

December 9, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Bethe is the next asset allocation portfolio up for review.  Note the new array of assets as this change is designed to create a “recession resistant” portfolio by increasing lower volatile Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and to increase the monthly yield.

Pauling Portfolio Review: 11 December 2025

December 11, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Pauling is the asset allocation portfolio up for review today.  I added one significant ETF to this portfolio and it is the Exchange Traded Fund, RSP.  RSP is an equal-cap asset.  Why include this security? “For equal-cap investing, the most prominent ETF ticker is RSP (Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF), which gives equal weight […]

Copernicus is an equity oriented portfolio designed for young investors or folks who have 10 to 15 years of investing ahead.  Investors in retirement who are still able to save a modest amount each month are encouraged to use this asset allocation for at least one portfolio.  While the target percentages will vary from investor […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 16 December 2025

December 16, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Millikan is the asset allocation portfolio up for review this morning.  In preparation for a possible correction or recession, I shifted the asset allocation so the portfolio holds a higher percentage of ETFs to those that have lower annualized volatility.  The major shift is to reduce exposure to the seven to ten mega-cap stocks as […]

Huygens Portfolio Update: 18 December 2025

December 18, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Huygens is the asset allocation portfolio up for review this morning.  This portfolio is set up to “resist” taking too big a hit when the correction or recession sets in sometime over the next 12 to 18 months.  A correction or recession is certainly not a sure thing as interest rates will likely drop another […]
