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 […]

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 […]

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 15 January 2026

January 15, 2026 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

Here we are at the halfway point in January and it is time to update the top performing portfolio, Copernicus.  Copernicus is an equity only portfolio where I set out to invest only in S&P 500 equities.  With the market hovering at its high point diversification seemed prudent.  As a result I pulled back on […]

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 24 December 2025

December 24, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Merry Christmas Copernicus is the last portfolio up for review before Christmas.  The major change is to reduce holdings in VOO and shift the percentage over to RSP.  The reason for this move is to reduce exposure to mega-cap stocks that are over-valued and to increase exposure to mid- and small-cap stocks.  The “all U.S. […]
