McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 10 September 2025

September 10, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

In case you were unaware, all three Sector BPI portfolios are named after women scientists.  All three portfolios are performing quite well and if the Vanguard projection (see link at the bottom of this page) comes close reality these three portfolios

Kepler CEF Portfolio Review: 12 September 2025

September 12, 2025 By Lowell Herr 3 Comments

As one of the poorest performing portfolios, if not the least productive, it was encouraging to see Kepler turn in the top performance in August.  It might be an outlier or the beginnings of a strong future using Closed-End-Funds (CEFs).  The Kepler is certainly a portfolio

Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 16 September 2025

September 16, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Pauling is another “easy to manage” asset allocation portfolio.  All asset classes have yet to be fully populated.  That should take place over the next three to six months.  I am still waiting to see what the FEDs do with interest rates and how tariffs impact the U.S. economy.

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 18 September 2025

September 18, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  The Copernicus has essentially operated as a passive portfolio.  Save and invest in broad market equity ETFs has been the philosophy up to this point.  With an overvalued stock market what is the next move?  I plan to swap SCHD with VYM and

Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 19 September 2025

September 19, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Of the 13 portfolios I track here at ITA the three Sector BPI portfolios are the most complicated to manage as they require access to Bullish Percentage Indicator graphs.  I use StockCharts for this information.  Last Friday the Consumer Staples sector came so close to the 30%

Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Update: 22 September 2005

September 22, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

We begin Fall with an update of the Carson portfolio, the original Sector BPI portfolio.  When Consumer Staples dropped into the oversold zone I added more shares of VDC not realizing the Carson already held shares representing this sector.  That is why the portfolio has an abundance of this security.

Schrodinger Portfolio Update: 25 September 2025

September 25, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Schrodinger had an excellent August with a 3.5% return on investments.  This computer manage portfolio is performing very well as readers will see as they read through this blog.  Should we see a recession in 2026 it will be interesting to see how this Robo

McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 26 September 2025

September 26, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Little has changed since the recent recommendation to purchase shares in Consumer Staples.  VDC is the Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) that covers this sector of the U.S. Equities market.  I recently purchased 15 shares of VDC as Consumer Staples dropped below the
