Copernicus Portfolio Review: 14 October 2025

October 14, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Copernicus is one of the better performing ITA portfolios.  Set up to invest primarily in U.S. Equities the current portfolio is carrying an excess amount of cash as better buying opportunities are anticipated sometime in 2026. Copernicus Security Holdings Below is the current security holdings within the Copernicus

Copernicus Portfolio Update: 18 September 2025

September 18, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

  The Copernicus has essentially operated as a passive portfolio.  Save and invest in broad market equity ETFs has been the philosophy up to this point.  With an overvalued stock market what is the next move?  I plan to swap SCHD with VYM and

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 15 August 2025

August 15, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

The Copernicus follows Warren Buffett’s advice to invest the major port of the portfolio in a low-cost index fund that tracks the S&P 500.  Over the last 3.7 years this management approach has paid off very well as readers will see in a moment.  The

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 1 August 2025

  I am pushing the Copernicus review ahead of schedule as I want to see what damage or impact Friday’s selloff had on this equity oriented portfolio.  Low unemployment numbers and the coming tariffs are roiling the U.S. Equities market.  I expect this to continue into next week.  Political uncertainty,

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 3 July 2025

July 5, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

When the Copernicus portfolio was first launched back in early 2022 it was young investors I had in mind.  Simplicity was a primary factor since I assumed someone following the Copernicus model would have little time to pay attention to any investing model other than to purchase

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 2 June 2025

June 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

While this review of the Copernicus portfolio occurs in June, the data more appropriately belongs to May.  Take that into consideration as you read this update.  As followers of this portfolio know, this is a passive portfolio that focuses on investing only in U.S. Equities and is limited to large-cap stocks that track the S&P […]

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 5 May 2025

May 5, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

As I write this blog the U.S. Stock Market is attempting to regain early Monday losses.  As long-time reader know, the Copernicus is an equities only portfolio.  The management model is to save and purchase S&P 500 ETFs.  Based on the current administration generated chaos I am moving

Copernicus Portfolio Review: 28 March 2025

March 28, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

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
