Copernicus Portfolio Update: 14 September 2026

September 14, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Copernicus continues to be the top performing portfolio tracked here on the ITA blog.  Two changes I made since the last review were to replace VIG with shares of RSP and SGOV.  SGOV is a short-term treasury and will overlap with SCHO.  RSP is an S&P 500 ETF, but instead of cap weighted it is […]

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 18 August 2026

August 18, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

For a number of years the management model for the Copernicus was to invest in the S&P 500 or similar broad based index ETFs.  In the last few months as the U.S. Equities market hit new high after new high I stepped back from investing so heavily in mega-cap growth companies.  This move may have […]

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 22 July 2026

July 22, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Copernicus is a top performing portfolio as the investments were concentrated in U.S. Equities.  VOO was the primary ETF used for many months.  With the market over heated and the market drivers concentrated within such a few stocks I’ve backed off despite the excellent performance.  The Copernicus is current concentrated in SCHO, SCHD and a […]

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 23 June 2026

June 23, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Copernicus is the “all equity” portfolio, but with a few changes since the U.S, Stock market is overvalued by a wide margin.  At this writing the market was down today, but the Copernicus was holding to the upside. The current portfolio holds very few shares in the total market while investing in dividend driven ETFs […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 26 May 2026

May 26, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Copernicus is a simple portfolio for investors with 10 to 15 years of saving years ahead.  With the U.S. Equities market at or near an all-time high I pulled back a tad on investing in ETFs that hold a high percentage in the mega-cap seven to ten type stocks.  Therefore, instead of investing a large […]

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 27 April 2026

April 27, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

The original management strategy for the Copernicus portfolio was to invest in the S&P 500 (SPY or VOO) and continue to do so while adding money on a regular basis.  I’ve deviated from that original plan slightly as the current market is overvalued or as we say, overbought.  However, this market continues to “climb the […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 6 April 2026

April 6, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

We begin the week with an easy review.  While waiting for SHV dividends to show up in Bethe I’ll update the Copernicus, an “all equity” portfolio.  The asset allocation make-up of the Copernicus is designed for a young investor with many saving years ahead.  Many saving years might be defined as greater than 10 years […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 11 March 2026

March 11, 2026 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Copernicus is the equity portfolio scheduled for review this morning.  Based on an over priced U.S. stock market I shifted the emphasis slightly, moving from the S&P 500 (VOO) over to several dividend oriented ETFs.  Below you see a significant percentage of the portfolio focusing on VIG, SCHD and VYM.  Yes, there will be overlapping […]
