Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio: 4 February 2026

February 4, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Pauling is another asset allocation portfolio set up to provide some resistance should we experience a correction or worse, a recession.  The portfolio is slowly rounding into shape where most of the asset classes are close to their target percentages. The goal is to reinvest new cash deposits and dividends.  Assets most under target will […]

Gauss Portfolio Update: 5 February 2026

February 5, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  Gauss is another asset allocation portfolio designed to withstand a major draw-down of equities.  Trailing Stop Loss Orders (TSLOs) are in place for ETFs such as QUAL and RSP. I recently added VIG to the portfolio so it is not yet up to target.  Limit orders are in place to add more shares to […]

Kepler Asset Allocation Portfolio Update: 6 February 2026

February 6, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Kepler is in the rebuilding phase.  In addition, the asset allocation is one of the most conservative of all the ITA portfolios.  Three of the “most needed” sectors are part of the Kepler and they are:  Health, Utilities, and Consumer Staples.  Even in the most difficult financial periods these three ETFs hold stocks that provide […]

Bethe Portfolio Review: 11 February 2026

February 11, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Bethe is one of numerous Asset Allocation (AA) investing models tracked and managed here at Investment Trend Analysis (ITA).  While the Bethe is not fully in balance, the shares of the different ETFs are making their way toward the target percentages.  I had hoped to have all the AA portfolios in balance by the end […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 17 February 2026

February 17, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Millikan is the Asset Allocation portfolio up for review this morning.  I added SCHD as another dividend oriented asset knowing there is overlap with VYM and VIG.  Dividends are used to keep asset classes in balance.  Since cash is at a premium and I don’t plan on selling existing holdings, I’ll wait for any infusion […]

Einstein Recession Resistant Portfolio Review: 27 February 2026

February 27, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Einstein is the last portfolio to be reviewed in February.  The current asset allocation is designed to be recession resistant while still providing some room for capital appreciation. The portfolio is not completely in balance, but should be in another month or so, depending on price changes.

Huygens Portfolio Update: 2 March 2026

March 2, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

We begin the month of March with an update of the Huygens.  The asset allocation model is a combination of equities for growth and income ETFs to provide some resistance should we see a major market draw-down.  Below I will explain how I am using Trailing Stop Loss Orders (TSLOs) to reduce major losses.

Gauss Portfolio Review: 5 March 2026

March 5, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Gauss is the portfolio up for review today.  The owner of this portfolio is not contributing significant amounts of cash each month so the re-balancing will need to come from dividends and interest income. Gauss is a very conservative portfolio as one can see from the low beta value of 0.27.  Conservative is defined in […]
