McClintock Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 4 August 2025

August 4, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

When the market opened to the upside this morning I was more than a little surprised.  Such is the nature of the U.S. Equities market.  Never try to predict what it is going to do. The McClintock is patiently waiting for one or more sectors to drop into the oversold zone so we can purchase […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 25 July 2025

July 28, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Millikan is one of several Asset Allocation portfolios, but with a narrowly defined set of securities.  Currently I am playing it safe as this is an over-heated market.  Playing it safe means that I am overloading the portfolio using the short-term treasury SHV.  Should the market decline I will slowly move back into VOO and […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 1 July 2025

July 1, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

While the Millikan portfolio is dated July 1, the information is primarily June data.  The Millikan portfolio is narrowly focused on four Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).  As readers will see in a moment, I am deviating from the basic asset allocation recommendations as we have yet to see the impact of proposed tariffs and the […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 27 May 2025

May 27, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

On again, off again tariff threats are constantly roiling the stock and bond markets.  This morning the direction happens to be to the upside.  When in a dark room filled with furniture – stand still.  That is the attitude businesses have as it is most difficult to plan for the future when uncertainty abounds.  One […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 1 May 2025

May 1, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Headline news this morning – “Trump’s tariffs have left businesses in a ‘state of near paralysis’.” Advanced planning is nearly impossible do to an erratic administration that is in the hands of one person.  A person who was not even able to make casinos a success. Based on a rough economic market ahead I have […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 20 March 2025

March 20, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Investors with minimum available time for portfolio management will find the Millikan, as well as several other ITA portfolios, of interest when saving for retirement.  This portfolio focuses on four ETFs.  VOO is our standard ETF to track the S&P 500.  SCHG is to add some growth punch while SCHD throws off dividends.  These dividends […]

Millikan Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 18 February 2025

February 18, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Millikan is the asset allocation portfolio scheduled for review this morning.  This is a simplified version of other asset allocation portfolios in that the Millikan is using only six ETFs.  With the Millikan there is less emphasis on equities.  Bonds and treasuries make up a higher percentage of this portfolio, thus reducing the beta.  The […]

Millikan Asset Allocation Portfolio Update: 5 February 2025

February 5, 2025 By Lowell Herr

The Millikan portfolio is the other Sector BPI portfolio I am switching to a simplified asset allocation investment model.  It will likely take a few more reviews before the portfolio is in balance. The current beta is 0.71.  When in total balance the beta should drop below 0.5 indicating it is a very conservative portfolio. […]
