Copernicus Portfolio Review: 13 September 2024

September 13, 2024 By Lowell Herr

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 of the QuantIX software, but so […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 14 October 2024

October 14, 2024 By Lowell Herr

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 and treasuries.  Readers would be hard pressed to find a financial […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 8 November 2024

November 8, 2024 By Lowell Herr

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 in U.S. Equities the S&P 500 is an appropriate benchmark. The […]

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 […]

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 […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 21 January 2025

January 21, 2025 By Lowell Herr

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” – Benjamin Franklin Copernicus is one of the easiest portfolios to manage as all one does is invest available cash in U.S. Equities.  Never sell unless there is an absolute emergency. If one were to simplify the Copernicus I would recommend investing only in VOO.  This Exchange […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 24 February 2025

February 24, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Copernicus is a high performing passive portfolio designed for investors with 15 or more years of future savings.  The basic idea of the Copernicus is to save as much as you can as early as you can (Golden Rule of Investing) and never sell unless there is a dire emergency. There are variations to the […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 28 March 2025

With this portfolio review of the Copernicus comes a few adjustments.  I am adding SCHD to the existing asset classes and altering the recommended percentages to invest in each.  No plans are in the works to sell off any securities that are over target.  Instead, new cash and dividends will be used to gradually build […]
