Huygens Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 2 February 2026

February 2, 2026 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

Huygens is the classic asset allocation portfolio.  While the selection of asset classes will vary from portfolio to portfolio, as will the percentages allocated to each class, the principle of diversification is a long-standing model for portfolio management. Late last year I reworked the asset allocations for the Huygens.  The goal is to provide growth […]

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 […]

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 […]

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 12 February 2026

February 12, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Copernicus, the all equity portfolio, is back for an update or review.  I’ve backed off from investing only in VOO or the S&P 500.  Ten of the 500 stocks in the S&P 500 make up 39.1% of the entire index.  Let one of the ten (10) sneeze and the S&P 500 index will come down […]

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 […]

Bohr Portfolio Review: 18 February 2026

February 18, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

While the Bohr portfolio is an Asset Allocation style portfolio, the emphasis is more on generating income than focusing on growth.  As a result the Bohr is not one of the better performing portfolio when compared to any of the six benchmarks I track here at ITA.  Should we see a market correction or worse […]

Schrodinger Portfolio Update: 24 February 2026

February 24, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

We begin the last week of February with an update of the Schrodinger, the single Robo Advisor portfolio tracked here on the ITA blog.  The Schrodinger has been operating for approximately 8.5 years.  I use a start date of 12/31/2021 in order to compare the performance with much younger portfolios. Over the past four plus […]

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.
