Bethe Asset Allocation Portfolio Update: 4 November 2025

November 4, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Bethe is the portfolio up for review this morning.  This portfolio is constructed primarily of equity ETFs and as such is taking a hit this morning.  Is this the draw-down we have expected for months or only a momentary pause?  To be determined over the next several months.  As readers will see, I am taking […]

Millikan Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 6 November 2025

November 6, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Millikan is one of several asset allocation portfolios.  The diversification is a tad more expansive in that the Millikan holds a few shares of GLD and BTCO.  As the various asset classes approach their target percentages, the goal for the Millikan is to use future dividends to maintain a balanced portfolio while not selling securities […]

Gauss Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 7 November 2025

November 7, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Gauss is another portfolio using the Asset Allocation Model of investing.  This has been a brutal week for U.S. Equities as the S&P 500 is down another one percentage point as I write this blog.  We may be near the beginning of a market correction if not worse.  I thought the correction (down at least […]

Pauling Portfolio Review: 13 November 2025

November 13, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Pauling is one of several portfolios recently converted to the Asset Allocation management model.  While the assets may vary slightly from portfolio to portfolio, the general management model is the same.  Select Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) that represent different asset classes, set target percentages, and then follow the Kipling recommendations as to when to Buy […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 14 November 2025

November 14, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

As you move through this update of the Copernicus, don’t neglect to listen to the video linked at the bottom of the page.  There are other YouTube videos also explaining the seven stages that align before a major market draw-down.  Since the Copernicus is an equity only portfolio, how should one prepare this account for […]

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 […]

Bethe Portfolio Review: 20 November 2025

November 20, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Bethe is a simple equity oriented portfolio.  The asset allocation is currently skewed toward “cash” in the form of short-term treasuries (SHV) as the probability of a major market correction over the next 12 to 18 months is extremely high. The ITA blog is free to all users.  Sign up as a Guest and wait […]

Schrodinger Robo Advisor Portfolio Review: 26 November 2025

November 26, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Schrodinger is a Robo Advisor portfolio or what Schwab refers to as an “intelligent portfolio.”  This portfolio is computer managed so the owner is hands off other than to continue to save and add to the portfolio.  Schrodinger is truly a passive portfolio. Schrodinger Asset Allocation Model The current stock/bond-cash ratio is a rather aggressive […]
