Copernicus Portfolio Review: 13 September 2024

September 13, 2024 By Lowell Herr 4 Comments

This update or review of the Copernicus is incomplete as Yahoo closed the door on access to their security price data.  This change impacted the Investment Account Portfolio (IAM) software so I don’t have any way to download prices into that program.  I am in contact with the developers

Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 10 October 2024

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 14 October 2024

October 14, 2024 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

This morning I am updating the high risk equity only Copernicus, an investing model designed for young investors or someone who has at least 15 to 20 years of future savings.  High risk is defined as investing only in equities (stocks) while shunning bonds

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 16 October 2024

October 16, 2024 By Lowell Herr 4 Comments

Before delving into the Schrodinger review, SCHA, SCHF and FNDA experienced stock splits of 2 for 1 while FNDX and SCHX split 3 for 1.  If you are working with the Investment Account Manager the stock split entry point is Transitions and Global Transaction Activities.  I highly recommend

Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 4 November 2024

November 4, 2024 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Schrodinger is a portfolio I continually tout for investors not interested in spending time on their investment portfolio.  Schwab does it all using computer algorithms.  Answer a few questions, invest your money and Schwab will set up an Intelligent Portfolio based on your answers.  With the Schrodinger I’ve

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 8 November 2024

November 8, 2024 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Copernicus is one of my favorite portfolios for young investors or someone who has a 15-year or longer investment horizon.  The philosophy behind the Copernicus is to invest in U.S. Equities and never sell unless there is an emergency.  Since the portfolio invests only

Schrodinger Portfolio Update: 2 December 2024

December 2, 2024 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

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

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 4 December 2024

December 4, 2024 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

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
