Millikan Portfolio Update: 17 April 2023

April 17, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Millikan is one of the last of the four Sector BPI portfolios to undergo a “mending” of a potential weakness in the original hypothesis.  Since there are no BPI recommendations at present and cash is available, this update will show how that cash might be put to use.

Huygens Portfolio Review: 18 April 2023

April 18, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Huygens is strictly an income generating portfolio, patterned after Steven Bavaria’s Income Factory model.  Thus far these income portfolios have generated adequate income, but the underlying value of the securities have not kept pace with the stock market.

Franklin Sector BPI Update: 18 April 2023

April 18, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Franklin is one of four Sector BPI portfolios.  Perhaps I should title these portfolios, Sector BPI Plus as each now contains more than the eleven (11) sector ETFs in an effort to patch one of the potential holes in the Sector BPI hypothesis.  Past sector blogs explain in more detail the flaw in the Sector […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 3 May 2023

May 3, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Based on yesterday’s market decline, today seemed like a good time to check in on the Copernicus as this portfolio is constructed only of U.S. Equities.  The philosophy behind the Copernicus is to save and invest.  Never sell unless there is an emergency.  How is this portfolio performing on a return and risk basis?  When […]

Huygens Portfolio Review: 25 August 2023

August 25, 2023 By Lowell Herr

Huygens is the portfolio scheduled for review this morning and there are a few changes in the works.  To keep up with the S&P 500 I am moving this portfolio toward an equity bias.  In other words, I’m building up shares in VOO, SPY, VTI, and ESGV.  When international equities are in favor I’ll add […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 25 September 2023

September 25, 2023 By Lowell Herr

  Copernicus continues to be the top performing portfolio since 12/31/2021 and it requires little investing knowledge.  All the investor does is save and invest in U.S. Equities.  The plan is to never sell – unless there is an emergency.  Rather, ride out the highs and lows of the stock market.  If possible, purchase more […]

Kepler Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 13 November 2023

November 13, 2023 By Lowell Herr

During the last two weeks in October I spent a significant amount of time repositioning and rebuilding portfolios into the Sector BPI investing model.  Kepler is one such example and I’m not quite there as Materials (VAW) is only half filled based on the recommendation visible in the first screenshot below.  Instead of picking up […]

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 14 November 2023

November 14, 2023 By Lowell Herr

From one of the poorest portfolio performers (Kepler) we now shift to one of the best performers.  In addition, no particular skills are needed to manage the Copernicus, the portfolio up for review today.  Copernicus is the portfolio I highly recommend for those working full-time and have only a few minutes per month to pay […]
