Einstein Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 22 November 2023

November 22, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Einstein is one portfolio where the investment strategy was disrupted several times over the last four to five years as there was a call for educational expenses at a time when the market was rising.  As a result, performance is not what it should be.  The goal is to now rebuild this portfolio over the […]

Bohr Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 27 November 2024

November 27, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Bohr is another asset allocation portfolio under construction or in the process of rebuilding.  In operation for nearly seven months and carrying quite a bit of cash it will require some patience before all asset classes are in balance.  With a value in excess of $100,000 the goal is to bring each asset class within […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Update: 2 December 2024

December 2, 2024 By Lowell Herr

November was an excellent month for the Schrodinger as it increased more than 5% during this period.  For new readers to the ITA blog, the Schrodinger is based with Schwab and is known as an Intelligent Portfolio.  I refer to this type of portfolio as a Robo Advisor portfolio as it is managed by a […]

Huygens Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 3 December 2024

December 3, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Huygens is one of nine portfolios following an Asset Allocation (AA) investing model.  This includes the Schrodinger as it too is built around the concept of diversification.  Launched in April of this year the Huygens does not have much AA history.

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 4 December 2024

December 4, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Next to the Schrodinger the Copernicus is the easiest portfolio to manage as it is an all equity account using VOO and VTI as the primary investment securities.  By focusing on equities such as VOO the goal is to keep pace with the S&P 500 index or SPY, the index ETF.  Thus far the portfolio […]

Einstein Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 11 December 2024

December 12, 2024 By Lowell Herr

The Einstein is one of ten Asset Allocation (AA) portfolios I track here on the ITA blog.  Eight are reported on regularly and two of the ten include the Schrodinger and Copernicus.  The Copernicus is a special breed as I am only using U.S. Equities with this portfolio so one would not consider it to […]

Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 17 December 2024

December 18, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Dividends and the possibility of the owner adding new money create the opportunity to rebalance Asset Allocation (AA) portfolios.  The Pauling is getting there as most of the asset classes are within plus or minus one percentage point (1.0%) of the recommended target.  VO and VB are above target, but I don’t plan to sell.  […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 19 December 2024

December 19, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Keep it simple is the philosophy of the Copernicus portfolio.  Invest only in U.S. Equities such as VOO and VTI and never sell unless there is an emergency.  Keep cash levels low and expenses to a minimum.  One reason for including ESGV as part of the portfolio is to purchase shares if the remaining cash […]
